If you're planning to buy pearl and diamond earrings either as a gift or as part of your jewelry collection, then you've made a great choice. This combination is not only valuable, it also has lasting beauty and elegance.
Know your pearls.If the pearl is the more dominant gem in your earrings, then be sure to pick a good quality one. Even if the diamond/s in your earrings is high quality, a bad pearl can ruin the whole look of your jewelry. Here are a few tips and info on pearls:
The pearl is the only gem that is produced by a live organism, namely mollusks and oysters. They are formed each time a foreign particle, like a grain of sand, enters the shell. The mollusk or oyster then reacts by treating it as an irritation and proceedsto coat it with nacre, a crystalline substance. It is the same substance that we find in the interior of the shell when we open it.
The foreign particle is continuously coated with layers upon layers of nacre until it grows in size. In the end, this foreign particle with the layers of nacre becomes a pearl. Natural pearls are formed this way and are more often shaped irregularly.
Cultured pearls are in no way inferior to natural pearls. They are still real pearls, except that their production involved a deliberate implanting of a foreign substance to stimulate a mollusk.
The value of a pearl depends on its quality: the size, shape, color, thickness of the nacre, luster and texture. Since pearls are naturally occurring gems and no two are alike, these factors can vary greatly.
Choosing your diamonds.There are four Cs to note when choosing a diamond. These are good to note especially if it is the more dominant or focal gem in your earring.
Cut – involves two things: the shape of the diamond and the quality of the cut. Three of the most common are the brilliant cut, the princess cut and the emerald cut. The cut of the diamond will determine how brilliant its shine is and the more the cut brings out this quality, the higher the price. Of the three, the emerald cut is the most affordable.

Because someone raped me. My body was violated of freshwater pearl and turquois. So if you can't bring yourself to imagining what if it were you - at least imagine how difficult it is for survivors.
