When choosing pearls there are a number of things to consider besides just the quality of the pearls. While there is no right or wrong way to choose pearls, here are a few tips you should consider.
Necklace Length-You can buy pearl necklaces in a number of different lengths. Generally speaking, shorter necklaces suit long necks, while long necklaces are nice for smaller necks. The lengths and names areas follows.
→Collar-12-13"
→Choker-14-16"
→Princess-17-19"
→Matinee-20-25"
→Ppera-26-36"
→Rope-37" or longer
The most popular is the Princess length since it is a good length for both long and smaller necks.
Pearl Color-The pearl color does not affect the value of the pearl; instead, it is completely in the eye of the beholder(旁观者). Most people buy pearls that best match their skin tone(肤色). People with light skin usually buy white or pink pearls while people with darker skin tones tend to buy black pearls. In America, white pearls are the most popular, while in Asia, silver are favorites.
Pearl Sets-When buying pearl jewelry you should consider first if you want an entire set, or just a certain piece. If, for example, you buy the necklace, and then later decide to buy the bracelet/earrings, they may not match as well as if you had bought a set. Even if you buy the same size, and color, the style may not be the same. Some stores will allow you to buy the individual pieces of a set. So if you want to buy the other pieces at a later time, they will still match.
