Pearls, a timeless treasure in the jewellery world, are a marvel of nature. They are not, as commonly believed, formed around a grain of sand but are a product of oysters protecting themselves from a parasitic irritant. This process has fascinated humans for centuries.
Until the early 20th century, the only way to find pearls was to dive to the ocean floor.
Most pearls that we see today are cultured. Cultured pearls are, to all intentions, the same material as natural pearls, but the irritant is placed in the molluscs rather than by chance in nature.

Garnet is the birthstone for January and the gem for the second anniversary. Garnets are a set of closely related minerals that form a group, resulting in gemstones in almost every colour. The commonest colour for garnets is red, and so many people assume that they all have this colour. Almost any colour is possible except a pure blue, however, and some garnets change their colours depending on the type of light in which they are viewed.
With an overall length of 16 inches, the necklace has sterling silver fittings, and magnetic ball catch. Can be made longer or shorter as desired to order.
