New Pearls just in time for Fall!

In my opinion the most timeless piece of jewelry is pearls. A strand of pearls is a classic piece of jewelry that every woman should have in her jewelry box. I know most of you think about the traditional white pearls that you see your grandmother wearing on her wedding day, which are beautiful, but that’s not all there is to offer any more. Today’s cultured pearls come in various shades and sizes. Jackson Jewelers is carrying a new line of Starsay Collection Pearls. I know many of us get very confused when we are trying to choose a nice strand of pearls. I want to help you learn about what is important to look for when you are searching for your perfect strand of pearls. The pearls most of us wear these days are cultured pearls. What are cultured pearls? Cultured pearls are made by an oyster, mussel, or clam. The Starsay Collection pearls in particular are made from a mussel. The process is actually initiated by man. Man inserts a one millimeter of mantle tissue into the mussel. This tissue secretes nacre and initiates the development of a pearl in a pearl sack. The entire pearl is nacre. The nacre gives pearls their unique appearance. As the nacre thickness increases, so does the quality and durability of the pearl and the greater the luster. Pearls with a good quality luster display sharp light reflections. Pearls with low luster look milky, chalky, and dull. You want a pearl that will show the contrast between the bright and darker areas of the pearl. The Starsay Collection pearls do just that. Look below to check out some of the photos of the new line. Jackson Jewelers has great new shades just in time for fall. You really need to head into Jackson Jewelers to really see what they have to offer in their new Starsay Collection of pearl strands, bracelets, and earrings.
