White Pearl

Classic and elegant, white pearls add a touch of sophistication and glamour to any piece of jewelry. These beautiful gemstones are formed inside mollusc shells and are prized for their white color and iridescent lustre.
What is a White Pearl?

A white pearl is a type of pearl that is naturally colored white. Pearls are formed when an irritant, such as a grain of sand, becomes trapped inside the shell of a mollusk. As a result, the mollusk produces layers of a substance called nacre to coat the irritant and protect its soft body. The layers of nacre build up over time, resulting in the formation of a pearl.

White pearls are prized for their delicate, luminous beauty and are often used in jewelry as a way to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to a piece. They are also believed to have healing properties and are sometimes worn as a way to promote tranquility and calmness.

The value of white pearls is determined by a variety of factors, including the intensity of their color, the presence of blemishes or imperfections, and the quality of their luster. White pearls with a higher luster and fewer blemishes are generally more valuable.
