Pearls

Sophisticated and refined, pearls continue to be the accessory of choice for brides to wear on their wedding day. No longer limited to the traditional strand or pair of earrings, pearls are now being worn from head to toe in multiple styles and colours. The lustre and allure of pearls are timeless, and several legendary women are known for their love affairs with these gems. Cleopatra was said to dissolve a pearl in a glass of wine in order to seduce Marc Anthony. Jacqueline Onassis’ elegant, signature style featured a grouping of pearls at her neck. Refusing to be relegated to the history books, the pearl has become the gem of choice for discerning women well into the 21st century.

While pearls are conventionally valued for their shape and size, their colour and intriguing nacre are becoming more prevalent. No longer is pure white the only color of choice. Today's precious pearls can be found in a vast array of tones, from pale pink to honey. At Crowley's, we offer a wide selection of pearl jewellery including:

• Strands
• Bracelets
• Rings
• Pendants
• Earrings

Long known as the “Queen of Gems,” pearls possess a history and magnetism far beyond what today’s wearer might recognize. Throughout much of recorded history, a natural pearl necklace of matched spheres was a treasure of almost incomparable value. It was, for a time, the most expensive jewellery in the world. The only organic gems, pearls are created inside a living sea creature called a mollusc. They occur naturally in many sizes, shapes and colours.

When selecting a strand of cultured pearls, it’s best to buy them from an educated jeweller. Crowley’s knowledgeable staff will assist you in finding the best quality pearls within your price range.
