There are four major types of cultured pearls: South Sea, Akoya, Tahitian, and freshwater.
The most popular are Akoya pearl necklaces that have a classic look. For the classic, quality pearl necklace, choose Akoya pearls. Akoya pearls are known for their stunning shimmer and mirror-like finish, as well as their uniform round shape, which makes them a classic option for a necklace that will stand the test of time.
If you don't mind the price, you can choose freshwater pearl necklaces, which have a similar style. If it's a gift that's on a more budget-friendly end, opt for freshwater pearls. If you're new to buying pearl jewelry, then freshwater pearls are the perfect introduction to cultured pearls.
South Sea pearl necklaces come with pearls that are incredibly large and smooth. The larger size and rich satiny luster make South Sea pearls a premium choice for those looking for a statement strand.
Tahitian pearls are renowned for their dark black, purple, blue, and green colors. For those who desire something out of the ordinary from the white pearl string, exotic naturally black Tahitian pearls offer a dramatic and impressive range of color.
The use of pearl pendant necklaces gives a look of subtle elegance. Single pearl necklaces or sterling silver are popular options for special occasion gifts, as are white gold.
The tin cup necklace style, also referred to as a pearl station necklace, links a thin chain to distribute the pearls that are less classic and more modern.
Pearls that are fake are plastic, alabaster, glass, or shells with a pearly finish to look like real pearls. Real pearls will be cool to the touch, will have tiny irregularities, and will feel heavier in your hand than any fake pearls.
An authentic pearl will not feel waxy: it may be slightly irregular, with an odd size or shape, as the natural formation process of the pearl causes these. The base metal of the pearl necklace can also tell the authenticity of the necklace; usually, a real jewel is attached to the solid gold or solid silver necklace. All pearl necklaces at BOLD Precious Metals are crafted from genuine 14K gold or 925 sterling silver and free from any imitation materials and contain actual cultured pearls.
The least expensive and most affordable option to real pearl jewellery is the cultured pearl necklace consisting of real cultured pearls that have been formed with the aid of expert intervention within cultured oysters. Today, almost all pearls on the market are cultured, while natural pearls produced in oysters are extremely rare and seldom sold as jewelry.
Cultured pearls are the real thing; the only difference is that they are more affordable and readily available. All pearl necklaces sold by BOLD Precious Metals are cultured pearls made in solid precious metal and not an imitation or simulated pearl product.
The most popular lengths for single pearl necklaces are 16 to 20 inches, and one of the most common lengths for a pearl necklace is 18 inches. Multi-strand or layering pearl necklaces come in longer lengths of 36 to 40 inches, which can be used to play around with 2 or even 3 layers of pearls for a more versatile and eye-catching statement necklace.
On the lower end of the spectrum is a pearl choker necklace, which is positioned just below the collar and complements open necklines and/or is layered with a longer necklace.
| Length | Best For |
|---|---|
| 16 inches | Choker-style, close to the neck |
| 18 inches | Most popular — universally flattering |
| 20–24 inches | Pendant or single-pearl styles |
| 36–40 inches | Multi-strand or layered looping |
White gold and yellow gold clasps are particularly in vogue on strands. For jewelry that will last a long time, search for necklaces crafted from precious metals such as gold or silver and pearls.
Freshwater pearls and Akoya pearls are usually a warm color, so 14k Gold Settings will match well with the warmth of the pearl, whereas white gold will create a more contemporary and modern look.
Sterling Silver Settings — single pearl necklaces made from sterling silver are in style and ideal for special occasion gifts; they're real sterling silver, but at a more attainable price due to sterling's lower value compared to gold.

Unlike harder gems, such as a diamond or a sapphire, pearls are an organic gem and need to be cared for more gently.
After each use, clean pearls with a soft moist cloth to remove any oils, perfume or skin contact residue. Don't use ultrasonic cleaners or jewelry cleaners that use strong chemicals, as these can harm the surface of the nacre in the pearl.
Keep pearl necklaces in a soft pouch away from other pieces of jewelry as pearls can be scratched by harder gemstones and metal edges.
Use perfume, hairspray, and lotion before you wear your pearl necklace; as the perfume, hairspray, and lotion can dull the luster of the pearls with time. Take out pearls prior to swimming or exercise!

Real pearls are cool to touch, it has some irregularity – no larger, and is heavier than plastic, alabaster or glass pearls with a pearly coat. An original pearl will not be waxy, and may be naturally irregular in shape or size.

The tin cup necklace style is also called the pearl station necklace and got its name from the film made in 1996 where Rene Russo wore the now iconic necklace design – the difference is that the necklace is the thinnest of delicate chains with the pearls spaced along it, not strung together.
