Maybe, it's because they aren't !! What I hear you say, well Pearls are produced by a mollusk - therefore unlike so many other precious gems there not a rock!
OK, so that may help answer some of the many questions we've been receiving about Pearls, such as - why are Tahitian Pearls blue?, - what does Cultured Pearls mean?, - what difference does pearl size make?, what is nacre? and so many more to answer these questions we would point you to our Pearl Knowledge Base (www.jewelrytoadore.com, then go to Jewelry Education) which we are building to an even more comprehensive guide over the next few weeks.
Do keep checking in and hopefully we will answer some of the questions you may have regarding pearls, if not, you know you can always drop us a line, either here or at www.jewelrytoadore.com
