Cultured Pink Pearls FOr That Perfect Pink Outfit

Natural pink pearls are extremely rare. The Caribbean pink pearl is produced by the queen conch. The conchs are extremely sensitive creatures and efforts to farm them and culture pearls have been unsuccessful. They are also endangered so natural pink pearls are likely to remain very rare. The good news is that pink is the second most likely color of cultured pearls after white, so those who have their heart set on pink pearl jewelry can easily obtain it.

Wartyback mussels, sand mussels and washboard mussels are all likely to produce pink pearls. After the pearls are harvested they may be dyed or chemically treated to enhance the color. Peatrls may be treated with silver nitrate and then exposed to sunlight or hydrogen sulfide to deepen the color.

Pearls take to dyeing very well. Their porous and slightly rough surface makes them ideal for using organic or inorganic dyes to create whatever shade of pink desired.

Pink pearl, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are very popular with brides and bridesmaids for their soft, feminine appearance. Saltwater and freshwaters cultured pearls maybe pink in color.

Freshwater pink pearls are more durable and less expensive than the saltwater variety. The color depends on genetics, species of mussel, the quality of water and the position of the pearl within the mussel. Although colors may range from silver white to bronze or green, pink, rose, and lavender are the most desirable colors.

Pink freshwater pearls also come in interesting shapes. They are hard and shiny and make beautiful jewelry. The naturally colored pearls will have slight variations when used as a strand of pearls, but dyed or treated cultured pearls have a uniform color.

If you're a fan of pink like I am, pink cultured pearl jewelry is sure to find a place in your collection. It's beautiful and affordable so we can all enjoy pink pearls.
