PearlsOfJoy.com is a very reputable jewelry store to buy your pearl jewelry at. They have been featured in the magazine InStyle, and Wedding Destinations. The girls on The View also did featured their pearl necklace in one of their stories that aired on the show. The website has an entire section dedicated to teaching you all about pearls. With topics like pearl grading, pearl types, shapes, color and sizes. They also teach you how to care for your pearls, pearl farming, and the value of pearls. I did learn something else on how they are threaded on the strand also. Have you ever had a beaded necklace break, and hundreds of beads scatter all over the floor? A good quality pearl necklace will never do that or pearl bracelet for that matter, as each strand has a knot between each pearl. So if it breaks, they all stay together on your necklace. I never knew that either. I learned a lot today. Also be sure to check get more pearl information at Pearl-Guide.com
