The holidays are fast approaching and it’s time to start thinking about that perfect gift for loved ones. Whether you have a wife, a sister, a mother or just a special woman to buy for this season, you know they deserve something spectacular. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, jewelry. But, where do you even start? There are so many options out there – necklace, ring, earrings, diamonds, sapphires, pearls – how do you know where to begin?
It can be overwhelming to walk into a jewelry store, especially when you have no idea what you are looking for. A good place to start to head off some of those pre shopping day jitters is online. Check out some of your favorite online retailers to get some ideas of what you may want to purchase for that special someone. Find something beautiful and unique that they will love for years to come.
One great idea for the holidays this year is pearls. You can’t go wrong with this classic gemstone and their shine and luster can’t be topped. This year, give her pearls that will take her breath away when she opens the package. Give her chocolate – chocolate pearls. These gorgeous brown, lustrous pearls are the perfect holiday gift. They mix the classic beauty of traditional pearls with the unique sophistication of Tahitian pearls.
All chocolate pearls begin as black Tahitian pearls produced by the black lip oyster. These pearls are cultured and harvested like normal Tahitian pearls but then put through a bleaching procedure. After harvesting, the pearls are put through a two step bleaching and heating process. This results in a lustrous, rich chocolate brown color with intense iridescence. Chocolate pearls can range in color from dark brown to copper to bronze all with a high luster.
You can also find chocolate pearls that have been colored using dyes and irradiation. These are still natural or cultured pearls but the color is manufactured. Companies that produce these dyed chocolate pearls use a silver nitrate to create the brown color. These pearls are considered treated and are often much cheaper than natural Tahitian chocolate pearls. Both are beautiful and the difference most times cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Every woman loves chocolate and every woman would love to add some beautiful chocolate pearls to her jewelry collection. You can find chocolate pearls in almost any setting and style you could imagine. You can find beautiful chunky necklaces wrapped with ribbon or a simple coppery bracelet. Try a gorgeous chocolate pearl ring set in 18 karat gold. If you want to play it simple, choose a pair of single stud earrings with a medium sized bronzed chocolate pearl.
These chocolate pearls are versatile enough for everyday wear and to dress up on special occasions. They are perfect for the holidays too because your special lady can pair them with her red holiday dress and she will be the guaranteed talk of the party. Chocolate pearls are the perfect addition to any jewelry collection and she will be sure to remember this holiday season for years to come.
