Remember Forever
by: Tracy Togliatti
The pearl is known as the queen of gems and the gem of queens, what could be
more perfect for that special woman in your life? This article is about finding
the pearl gift that will melt her heart!
Pearls are the oldest known of all gems, and for centuries it was considered
the most valuable. They were thought to be a symbol of the moon and to have
magical powers. The Latin word for pearl literally means “unique”, as no two
pearls are exactly the same.
Another great thing about pearls is that they will never go out of fashion and
can last for generations with the proper care. They speak of purity and are
thought to offer the power of love, money, protection, and luck. They are also
thought of to cement love relationships and promote marital bliss. You truly
can’t go wrong choosing a gift of pearls!
You can buy pearls in any assortment of jewelry pieces from necklaces,
bracelets, earrings and other body piercings. The best way to find the perfect
pearl gift for a woman is to pay attention to her style and what her favorite
colors are. Pearls come in an assortment of colors from white, pink, peach, to
black, so you can find something that will compliment the colors in her
wardrobe.
After you’ve decided on what color and what jewelry piece you’ll be getting for
her, then decide if the pearl gift will be used for formal occasions, or if she
would like it for more casual attire. Dressier occasions call for dressier
pearls, such as a string of pearls, or pearl string bracelet. Many pearl jewelry
pieces come with other gemstones as well. A single pearl with a diamond accent
is a classic piece she will treasure.
More casual pearls could be pearls mixed with semi-precious stones or a pearl
pendent on a leather necklace. There is truly a huge assortment and finding the
unique pearl jewelry piece for your unique woman should not be hard to find.
Giving her matching earrings, bracelet, and necklace set would be the perfect
touch no matter what the occasion!
Here are some types of pearls to look for:
· Natural Pearls - Made without human interference, these are rare and
valuable.
· Cultured Pearls Made when a foreign substance is intentionally inserted into a
living oyster.
· Baroque Pearls - Pearls that have irregular shapes.
· Biwa Pearls - An irregular shaped pearl which forms in the freshwater of Lake
Biwa, Japan.
· Blister Pearls - Pearls that grow attached to the inside of the shell.
· Black Pearls - Gray to black pearls, also know as Tahitian pearls.

For a romantic idea, let her know in advance that you will be taking her out
for the evening, or day depending on what event you plan. Give her the pearls
before you leave for your event making it clear that when you get back home, you
want to see how she looks in nothing but her pearls! Then make sure and let her
know how beautiful she makes the pearls look!
Pearls are also appropriate gifts for your mother, sister, or daughter. Let
them know how pure your love is for them and how they have been a Pearl in your
life! If you would like additional suggestions about gift giving, or helping
