Single Pearl Necklace Pendant

If you like the look of a cultured single pearl you can choose to buy one that is presented on a beautiful chain.  There are chains have been created from solid gold or you can opt for a pearl on a silver chain.

These types of pearl pendants will usually have the gemstone encased in metal so that it can be looped onto a chain with ease.

Single Strand Pearl Necklace

If you prefer the classic look of a single strand of freshwater pearls, you will find that these are on sale in different lengths and different sizes to match any style of single pearl earrings that you like.

You can choose a pearl chocker necklace where the string of pearls sits very close to the neckline.  This style is very suitable for younger people.  It also looks very smart on people with slender necks who want to make a real feature of this part of their body.

A longer strand of pearls is also a great choice. You could either buy real south sea pearls or fake pearls, also known as costume pearls.  This style of jewel has a little more versatility as you can choose to wear it as a single strand or you can twist it and double it up to create a dual effect.

This is a great way to wear your jewellery and you can easily co-ordinate it with any type of outfit whether it is formal wear or informal wear.

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.
