<p>Whenever we think of pearls, what comes to our mind is a shining pearl inside an oyster. However, not all pearls come from pearl oysters that are found in saltwater. You also find freshwater pearls that are formed inside certain species of mussels that are found in rivers, lakes and other freshwater bodies. It is difficult to tell a freshwater pearl from a saltwater one, because they all look the same. However, saltwater pearls are more expensive than their freshwater counterparts. The simple reason for this is that a major part of the freshwater pearls available in the market today are not naturally occurring but cultured.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What are Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls</strong></p>
<p>Saltwater pearls are found inside species of pearl oysters, such as the Gulf pearl oyster (Pinctada radiate), Black-lip oyster (Pinctada margartifera), white-lip oyster (Pinctada maxima), the Akoya pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata), and other members of the Pinctada species. Freshwater pearls, on the other hand, are mostly harvested from a species of freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera).</p>
<p>Saltwater pearls are superior to freshwater pearls when it comes to quality. This is because you would find more saltwater pearls that are lustrous and perfectly spherical, when compared to freshwater pearls. However, freshwater pearls are more popular because of the wide range of colors and shapes that they come in and also because they come at a much lesser price than their saltwater counterparts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Natural Colors of Pearls</strong></p>
<p>Today, you can find pearls in a range of colors, but not all colors are natural. First we shall have a look at the colors in which both freshwater and saltwater pearls occur in nature.</p>
<p><strong>Freshwater Pearls</strong></p>
<p>Freshwater pearls are found in a wide range of colors and they are more often irregular in shape, as compared to their saltwater counterparts. It is due to the many colors of freshwater pearls that you find such wide variety in pearl jewelry. Also, hybridization of different colored mussels has made it possible to obtain pearls in never-seen-before colors. If you look at pearls of different colors, they may all appear to be the same.</p>
<p>Natural freshwater pearls occur only in 3 colors: pink, white and lavender. The cultured freshwater pearls are dyed to give them darker shades of color. Now, if you’re wondering what gives a pearl its natural color, then let me tell you that the color of the pearl is mainly determined by the species of mussel and the temperature of the water. The natural color of a pearl is determined by the color of the shell in which it is formed. The three natural colors of freshwater pearls are white, pink and lavender. You can have a look at the different colors of freshwater pearls, given above.</p>
<p><strong>Saltwater Pearls</strong></p>
<p>Saltwater pearls are classified into three main types: Akoya pearls, Tahitian pearls and South Sea pearls. Each of these pearls come in different colors, where the color depends on the species of pearl oyster that produces the pearl. Let us learn a little about each one of them.</p>
<p><strong>Akoya Pearls</strong></p>
<p>Akoya pearls are found in the waters surrounding Japan and are renowned for their luster. These pearls grow to a maximum of 8mm and vary widely in size, color and luster. The most common colors found in Akoya pearls are cream, silver, pink and white.</p>
<p><strong>Tahitian Pearls</strong></p>
<p>Found in the Pacific Ocean, the Tahitian pearl is produced by the black-lipped pearl oyster and can grow up to 10mm in size. A characteristic feature of the Tahitian pearl is its thick nacre layer. Most of these pearls are, however, not exactly round, but baroque-shaped. Tahitian pearls are mostly found in shades of gray and are rarely black in color. However, these pearls are referred to as “black pearls” because of their relatively darker shades.</p>
<p><strong>South Sea Pearls</strong></p>
<p>South Sea pearls are the largest saltwater pearls and can grow up to 13mm in diameter. There are two sub-species of oysters that produce these pearls and they are the gold-lipped oyster and the silver-lipped oyster. As the name suggests, the South Sea pearls are found in the Southern hemisphere, near Australia and the waters surrounding Indonesia. The South Sea pearls are mostly white, tan, gray, yellow or golden in color.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Artificial Colors of Pearls</strong></p>
<p>However, not all colors are natural, and some pearls are dyed to given them the desired colors. These are available in colors like pink, browns, greens, blue, lavender, red, cream and yellow, in addition to white. So, what are the different methods to impart these shades to the pearls? Well, the pearls are dyed, chemically treated or irradiated for the colors. No matter what the mode of coloring, the color is almost always permanent! Freshwater pearls are found in a wide range of artificial colors, but saltwater pearls are not. Given above are few of the most popular artificial colors in which pearls are found in the market.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, the freshwater pearls are of a much higher quality than that produced around a few decades ago. Traditionally, pearl oysters have been the sole source of pearls. However, recently pearls produced by freshwater mussels have taken over the market worldwide.</p>

<p><strong>Turquoise Energy: </strong></p>
<p>Turquoise is the color of communication, self awareness and initiative.</p>
<p>Turquoise has more to do with feeling and creative expression than with rational thought.</p>
<p>The color of a Turquoise will make you feel happy and relaxed, for it combines the light blue of the sky with the invigorating green of the seas.</p>
<p>Shades of cyan, aquamarine, and turquoise are livelier than our peaceful true blues, but just as soothing. A gaze into Caribbean waters will affirm this. These blues relax and refresh the body and mind. They encourage us to get out in the fresh air, sunshine, and water.</p>
<p>Lighter shades of turquoise have a feminine appeal. Teal has a darker, somewhat more sophisticated look.</p>
<p><strong>Keywords for the Meaning of Turquoise:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>cool, refreshing, imaginative, motivated, dynamic, renewal, calmness, peaceful, truthfulness, joyful, relaxed, healing, tranquility, forgiveness, patience, creativity, sleep, dream work, inventions, innovation, originality, renewal, brotherhood, peace, humanism, emotion, prosperity, growth, purity, awareness, meditation, love, healing, generosity, communication, intuition, individual responsibility, self reliance, independence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Turquoise Words:</strong></p>
<p>These words are synonymous with turquoise or represent various shades of the color turquoise: teal, ultramarine, blue-green, aqua, aquamarine.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Using Turquoise with Other Colors:</strong></p>
<p align="left">Keep the soft, feminine qualities going by mixing turquoise with lavender and pale pinks. A bright turquoise and pink create a sparkly clean, retro look. Make it art deco by pairing turquoise with white and black. Turquoise with gray or silver as well as terra cotta and light browns have a Southwestern (U.S.) flavor. Turquoise with orange or yellow creates a fresh, sporty look.</p>

<p>White colored jewelry is making a popular appearance in the fashion world today. The white metals that are considered to be the most well-known for making fine jewelry are, platinum and white gold. The jewelry made from these metals make an elegant impression on the eye however, there are some basic and most important differences between these two metals. Let’s study about all the aspects related to the metals in order to compare and judge which is the best between platinum and white gold.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Platinum Vs White Gold: Chemical Facets</strong></p>
<p>The symbol of platinum is Pt and its atomic number is 78. It’s a naturally occurring metal and has a very high density of 21.4 g/cubic cm. It is white originally with a specific gravity of 21.4. It is a very rarely found metal and can cause some allergic reactions in some people. It has a boiling point of 3800 ºc and a melting point of 1772 ºc. Its atomic mass is 195.078 amu.</p>
<p>The chemical symbol of gold is Au and atomic number is 79. White gold has to be synthesized from natural gold by mixing various metals like silver, platinum, nickel, palladium, zinc in different combinations. Natural gold’s density is 19.3g/cubic cm. It has a specific gravity of 19.32. Its melting point is 1064.43 ºc and boiling point is 2807 ºc. Its atomic mass is 196.96657 amu. This element rarely causes any allergic reactions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Platinum Vs White Gold: Physical Facets</strong></p>
<p>Platinum is a whitish silvery metal and more lustrous than white gold. However, when white gold is coated with rhodium, it becomes as shiny as platinum. A white gold ornament has to be periodically polished with rhodium to maintain its luster. Platinum being naturally lustrous does not need any coating at any point of time, platinum is heavier and harder than white gold. Natural gold is more ductile (can be drawn into wires) and malleable (can be made into thin sheets) than platinum however the same may or may not be true about white gold, since different white gold alloys consists of different proportions of palladium, nickel and zinc metals that vary in their ductility and malleability when compared to platinum. However, platinum is definitely more durable than white gold.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Platinum Vs White Gold: Jewelry Facets</strong></p>
<p>Platinum jewelry is made of 95% platinum whereas white gold jewelry is generally a combination of 75% of natural gold with 25% of platinum or palladium and another combination can be 75% of natural gold with 10% of palladium, 10% of nickel and 5% of zinc. The composition of both the metal jewelry gives a clear explanation about the rift between its market values. Also, due to the above strong physical traits that platinum displays and the fact that platinum is less ductile and malleable than gold, the cost of crafting platinum metal adds further to the overall cost of the small amount of gold to be added in addition to rhodium polishing to maintain its luster and fill-up the gold lost due to scratches. Platinum jewelry does not lose any metal due to scratches and rarely requires polishing to restore its original look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Difference Between Platinum and White Gold Jewelry</strong></p>
<p>The most simple way to decide whether the metal is platinum or white gold is the scratch test. If the metal gets easily scratched it is white gold else, it is platinum. Another test, that is a little risky, is the heat test. Heat the metal till it turns red-hot. Then, let it cool. If the metal turns dark and dirty then it is white gold and if there is no change after cooling, it is definitely platinum. More advanced tests include acid and electronic tests for which you will have to take help from a jeweler.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On a more emotional background, due to the superior nature of platinum, people gift platinum jewelry to express their feelings to their loved ones. The platinum jewelry conveys the value that you have in that person’s life. White jewelry also has a considerable value and looks great when combined with different colored gold jewelry. Hope this article has helped to resolve some doubts pertaining to platinum vs white gold.</p>

<p>An incredible 165,000 tones of gold has been mined till date, since the dawn of human civilization. Not surprisingly, a large fraction of it has been used up in the creation of jewelry items over the centuries. Every year about half of the gold mined over the world goes into creation of jewelry of all kinds, ranging from rings, earrings, necklaces to bangles and other exotic pieces of craftsmanship.</p>
<p>A consumer out there in the market, shopping for a gold ring or necklace for his wife, needs to know whether what he is paying for has pure gold in it or is it just another gold plated piece of junk. To verify the purity level of gold jewelry, a marking system is devised, which indicates the amount of pure gold that is contained within a jewelry item and authenticates its quality. In this article, we will provide you with an explanation of how to identify gold jewelry markings and verify the purity level of a piece of gold jewelry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Measurement of Gold Purity</strong></p>
<p>Gold being inherently soft, it cannot be directly molded into jewelry, without mixing it with other metals for strength. That’s why a quality grading system, which can measure the amount of pure gold contained within a gold jewelry item is necessary. There are two existing systems used for this purpose. Gold purity is measured in terms of karat value in the US. Karat value is a specification of the fraction of total weight of a gold item, which is pure gold. The gold of highest purity grading is 24kt, which means that it’s 99.99% pure gold.</p>
<p>The scale moves downwards, with 23kt, 22kt, 21kt up till 8kt grading. A 12kt piece of gold has 12 parts out of 24 by weight, to be pure gold. In Europe, an alternative system is used to measure gold purity, which uses “Millesimal Fineness” as the measurement parameter. It measures purity of a gold jewelry in terns of parts of pure gold per thousand parts. Let us see how to read gold markings and verify its purity in the following lines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How to Indentify Jewelry Markings?</strong></p>
<p>You will need to arm yourself with a magnifying glass to be able to read gold markings as they tend to be engraved very finely. Also get a portable precision balance, which can measure weights from fractions of a gram to multiples of a gram. Here is how you can check for the purity of the product.</p>
<p><strong>Check the Karat Quality Rating</strong></p>
<p>Most modern gold jewelry products have a “Karat” grading inscribed on them. The printed karat value may be anywhere between 8kt to 24kt. To know the percentage of pure gold by weight, from karat grading, divide the karat grading by 24 and multiply it by hundred. You might want to check out this article explaining how to calculate the value of scrap gold, from karat grading.</p>
<p><strong>Check For Millesimal Fineness Grading</strong></p>
<p>If it’s a piece of European jewelry, the jewelry, the purity grading will be a three digit number less than 1000, with 999 being the millesimal fineness grading which is equivalent to 24 karat gold. The value may be anywhere between a minimum of 333 and a maximum of 999. Divide the value by 10 to get the percentage fraction by weight that’s pure gold.</p>
<p><strong>Look For Brand Name Stamp or Symbol</strong></p>
<p>Accompanying the karat or millesimal grading, there should be a symbol denoting the manufacturer’s brand. From the symbol, you can decipher the jewelry brand it belongs to. Avoid buying jewelry without brand markings.</p>
<p>By identifying the brand name, karat value and the millesmal fineness grading, one can determine the authenticity of gold jewelry quite easily. While buying scrap gold items, you need to be extreme careful in verifying the gold grading quality as chances are that traders will try to fool you. It is best not to go ahead with the purchase of a gold jewelry item, that has absolutely no markings on it. If it’s an old piece of jewelry from antiquity, get a referral evaluation from a jeweler, who would have the necessary apparatus for testing the quality.</p>

<p>For all those diamond tennis bracelet lovers out there, you can thank Chris Evert. Tennis bracelets came to be popular or came to be known when Chris Evert lost her ever-present diamond bracelet during the 1987 US Open Tennis Championship. She requested for the match to be suspended till she found her bracelet. That is how we got the Diamond “Tennis” Bracelet. More and more tennis players are now wearing the famous diamond tennis bracelet during matches, like Gabriella Sabatini and Serena Williams.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Style Statement with Diamond Tennis Bracelets</strong></p>
<p>Diamonds they say are a woman’s best friend. So why shouldn’t woman adorn herself with beautiful diamonds on her slender wrist. A diamond tennis bracelet is the best way to glamorize yourself without being too bling.</p>
<p>But wouldn’t a bracelet be distracting while playing a game of Tennis? Wouldn’t the delicate bracelet be in the danger of falling off or snapping? After all this was the problem that Chris Evert faced and was the very reason the bracelet got popular. It is important that the bracelet be sized to the circumference of the wrist of the wearer. If the bracelet is loose there is a possibility that it will fall off or slip off your wrist. Also there is a risk that the bracelet can break while wearing if it is too tight. Hence the measurement is of utmost importance.</p>
<p>The clasp and securing device of the bracelet should be appropriate as well. After all if you are paying big buck for a row of quality diamonds, you do not want to lose it because it wasn’t secure enough on your wrist.</p>
<p>Now let’s discuss the style of the classic diamond tennis bracelet. It is a very simple and elegant design. A single row of quality diamonds set in gold, white gold or platinum interspersed with bars of the precious metal in between. The diamonds are affixed using the prong style. This is the most popular style but over the years many variations have been developed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Not So Much for Tennis Diamond Bracelets</strong></p>
<p>Though the names imply that these diamond bracelets be worn during a game of tennis, if fact the contrary is true. The bracelet is not suited to be worn during a game of tennis. A diamond tennis bracelet is more suitable for a cocktail dinner, an evening spent watching opera or for that classy brunch at the country club. Very few women can afford to wear such an expensive piece of jewelry to a game of tennis, where the bracelet may be lost of damaged.</p>
<p>You can even be innovative with your diamond tennis bracelet. If you have two bracelets and the kind that are inter linked with the S-shaped link, then you can convert the bracelet into a classy necklace. Versatile isn’t it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is so much you can do with this timeless piece of jewelry. Dress it up at night with that little black dress or dress it down during the day with a classic white shirt. One little bracelet with so many uses makes it worth the cost isn’t it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
