“A pearl is nothing but a beautiful thing that is the result of pain.”
Pearls are unique—the only gemstones created by living organisms. Their shape, size, colour, and rarity make each pearl a natural masterpiece. Here’s a closer look at the most popular pearl varieties:
Known as the “queen of pearls,” South Sea pearls are admired for their large size, silky glow, and luxurious hues like white, silver, and gold. Cultivated mainly in Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, they are perfect for statement necklaces, bridal harams, and opulent earrings.
These exotic black pearls are treasured for their rich, mysterious tones—charcoal, eggplant, peacock green, and silver-grey. Grown in French Polynesia, Tahitian pearls are ideal for bold, modern jewellery that makes an unforgettable impression.
Loved for their affordability and versatility, freshwater pearls come in a variety of shapes—oval, round, rice, and baroque—and soft pastel shades. They are perfect for everyday jewellery, layered necklaces, and elegant bracelets.
Akoya pearls are the hallmark of classic pearl jewellery. Cultivated in Japan and Vietnam, they feature a bright mirror-like shine and are often used in single-strand pearl necklaces, timeless studs, and bridal sets.
Most modern pearls fall under this category. Cultured pearls are grown through human-assisted pearl cultivation, making them consistent in quality and widely available. South Sea, Akoya, Tahitian, and Freshwater pearls all have cultured versions.
Once harvested from the Arabian Gulf, Basra pearls are now rare and considered precious collectibles. Their antique charm, soft glow, and natural shapes make them a prized addition to heritage and vintage jewellery.
Keshi pearls are naturally formed without a nucleus, making them small but incredibly lustrous. Their organic shapes add an artistic, contemporary appeal to necklaces, ear drops, and designer jewellery.
Baroque pearls stand out for their irregular, asymmetrical shapes. Their organic forms lend themselves beautifully to creative, modern designs that appeal to trend-conscious jewellery lovers.
“Pearls are the epitome of elegance and sophistication.”
Pearls complement both traditional and modern styles, making them one of the most versatile jewellery choices. Here’s how to style them based on the occasion:
Simple pearl studs, delicate pendants, or small freshwater bracelets instantly elevate everyday outfits. These pieces add subtle charm to office wear, casual ensembles, or minimalistic styles.
Pearls are a timeless favourite for festive and bridal jewellery. Multi-layered South Sea pearl harams, chokers, chandbalis, and jada billalu paired with gemstones or gold detailing add a regal touch to traditional attire. At Krishna Pearls, we offer handcrafted bridal collections that blend luxury with deep-rooted elegance.
Pair modern outfits with Tahitian or baroque pearls for a chic look. A sleek black pearl necklace with an evening gown or geometric pearl earrings with a jumpsuit can create fashion-forward style statements.
Pearls are becoming a popular accessory for men. Minimal Tahitian pendants, single-pearl bracelets, and subtle studs add refined sophistication to both casual and formal wardrobes.
“The pearl is the queen of gems and the gem of queens.”
Pearls are delicate, organic gemstones that need gentle care to maintain their natural sheen. Follow these essential care tips:
Last On, First Off – Wear pearls after applying perfume, makeup, and hair products to prevent chemical damage.
Clean After Every Use – Wipe gently with a soft cloth to remove skin oils and sweat.
Store Separately – Pearls can scratch easily; keep them in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined box.
Avoid Water & Moisture – Remove pearls before bathing, swimming, or exercising.
Re-string Periodically – Frequently worn pearl strands should be restrung every 12–18 months to ensure durability.
“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.”
Pearls are more than just gemstones—they are timeless symbols of beauty, purity, and sophistication. Whether South Sea, Tahitian, Akoya, Basra, Keshi, or baroque, each pearl holds a unique story and charm. At Krishna Pearls, every jewellery piece is crafted with precision, authenticity, and unmatched artistry—perfect for brides, festive wearers, and everyday elegance.
