There is so much choice out there if you are looking for the perfect single pearl necklace.  Once you have made the decision that this is the type of necklace that you would like, you have to then decide on how big your budget is.  This will naturally be a big deciding factor on the types of pearl necklaces you could afford.

There are three main types of pearls that are used to make single pearl necklaces as well as a single strand pearl necklace.  They are:

• Natural pearls
• Cultured pearls
• Custom pearls

If you are on the hunt for natural pearls, you may have some difficulty finding a wide collection. The reason that these types of pearls are identified as being natural is due to the method that is used to collect them.

Lots of pearl oysters and pearl mussels are collected together and each have to be opened up in order to find out if there is a peal inside or not.  This can be a hit and miss affair so you can not guarantee how successful your collection will be.

Natural pearls are the most expensive sort that you can buy. To find a quality pearl necklace you may have to search online for specialist jewelers or go to antique jewelry stores.

Cultured Pearls

These are also naturally sourced pearls but the way that they are collected means that there is a much higher rate of success in finding pearls.  Pearl oysters and pearl mussels are specially cultivated in farms where they are assisted in the processing of pearls.  Single pearl earrings are created from cultured pearls, natural pearls as well as custom pearls.

Custom Pearls

These are the most common types of pearls that can be found.  They are the cheapest alternative that you can find.  It is a great way to create new looks when you are on a limited budget.

Once you have decided how much you are happy to spend on a single pearl necklace, you can compare and contrast what is available online and make your choice.
