Pearls, as we all know are made from a water creature called Mollusk. Naturally occurring pearls are very rare. However, the cultured pearl industry, which is thriving right now, farms these mollusks and mimics the natural process of creating a pearl by introducing an irritant into the shell of the mollusk surgically. This has drastically brought down the price of pearls and is the reason why pearl jewelry is so affordable and popular.

One of the best selling accessories of all times is the Pearl Bracelet. There are a wide variety of pearl bracelets in all price ranges. Some sell for as low as $1 on sites like ebay while others are priced in thousands of dollars. The lower end ones use low quality, low luster pearls interspersed with fashion beads, gold and silver plating . As the price rises so does the quality of the pearl and the other materials associated with it like the chain that holds them together, the clasp and the stones incorporated.

Pearl bracelets ...
... can also be classified based on how many strands they are made of. Some are single strand while others have multiple strands. The strands are held together by stretchable material or by a chain. Some bracelets are made of a single beautiful pearl while others incorporate tens of them . The sizes of pearls used in the bracelets are different too. Some use rounded big ones, while others use imperfect smaller ones. Pearls are available in various colors like pink, purple, gold and even black. If you want to make sure you are getting a high quality pearl hold it between your teeth. Low quality pearls feel smooth while high quality ones feel rough.
