Pearl Bracelets for the Bride

Brides and pearls go together like cookies and milk  -  quite deliciously.  As mentioned in last week’s article on Pearl Earrings for the Bride, pearl jewelry has been a wedding day tradition since weddings became lavish events in the Victorian era. The luminous, lovely pearl has long been a symbol for faith, virtue and purity, precisely why it became such a popular choice for wedding jewelry during those times.

Though many of today’s weddings no longer focus on the theme of purity, marriage is still a leap of faith in which two people  pledge to build a life together.  The virtues of faith, trust, love and patience are hallmarks of a successful marriage, which is perhaps why pearls are still relevant symbols of a modern marriage.  Even for women who only love pearl jewelry because of the beautiful vintage aesthetic, it’s undeniable that the simple pearl makes a simply stunning wedding day accessory.  On that note, here are some of our favorite bridal pearl bracelets that we’re excited to introduce:

8-9 mm Freshwater White Pearl Bracelet

Since the beauty of pearls is their simplicity, one of the best ways to show them off is with a clean, classic design.  This lovely freshwater white pearl bracelet is crafted with AAAA quality pearls; pearls that make the highest grade in every category.  The superior quality and luster of this pearl bracelet makes it a perfect wedding day pick for brides who want the best. It’s rare that this quality can be found at such an incredible price.

Cultured Black Pearl Double Strand Bracelet

Bold brides will make a dramatic statement with this double strand black pearl bracelet (seen at top).  Black pearl jewelry paired with a white wedding gown is such a gorgeous contrast, especially if one of the wedding colors is gray or black. This cultured black pearl bracelet is such a gem (pun intended), and is finished off with a pretty white gold clasp.

White Gold and Diamond South Sea Pearl Bangle

Modern, clean and striking, this gorgeous white gold bangle is set with two exquisite South Sea pearls. The rarest and most beautiful pearls in the world, South Sea pearls are an extremely coveted gemstone.  Only the finest pieces of jewelry are crafted with rare South Sea pearls, making this pearl bangle an ideal piece of bridal jewelry.

Black Tahitian Pearl Jewelry

Tahitian black pearls, the rarest and most exclusive type of pearl, are also known as the Queen of Pearls. Grown in French Polynesia under delicate care and watchful eyes, the oyster that produces Tahitian black pearls is a very delicate creature. Since the majority of oysters who produce Tahitian pearls do not survive long enough to produce a gorgeous black pearl, the demand for the few that do drive up the price and exclusivity of the Tahitian black pearl.  Because of the Tahitian pearl’s rare beauty, the gems are only used in the finest jewelry pieces.

We, like many before us, have fallen in love with the striking splendor of the Tahitian black pearl. Though we have always carried a few black pearl jewelry pieces, we are excited to announce that we have recently expanded our collection of Tahitian pearls to give customers a greater opportunity to own the exquisite pearl.  So without further ado, below is a quick highlight of the many Tahitian black pearl rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces we have added to our selection:

Tahitian Black Pearl Necklaces

One of the most striking qualities of the Tahitian black pearl is its brilliant range of shades. We adore the Silver Green Tahitian Pearl Necklace for its timeless design and eye-catching, unique color. Though its rarity makes it worth a pretty penny, it’s a sound investment for women who want to wear the best.

Another jaw-dropping piece for women who want the ultimate pair of pearls is the natural Chocolate Tahitian Pearl Necklace. The only thing rarer than a Tahitian black pearl is a Tahitian chocolate hued black pearl. Accented with sparkling diamond rondelles, this necklace is truly a pinnacle of beauty.

Tahitian Black Pearl Rings

Bold statement rings are one of our favorite accessories, which is why we’re partial to these lovely Tahitian black pearl rings. Two designs we’re in love with are the Tahitian Black Pearl and Diamond Eternity Ring and the Tahitian Black Pearl and Diamond Blossom Ring. Both are a beautiful balance of design and taste, and would look stunning matched with a pair of Tahitian Black Pearl earrings.

Tahitian Black Pearl Earrings

Tahitian black pearl earrings are the perfect accompaniment to the famous little black dress. Oozing with style and designed with a touch of sass, this pair of Tahitian pearl and diamond drop earrings is just as wearable as an LBD. And unlike a dress that will go in and out of style, the earrings last a lifetime.

Tahitian Black Pearl Bracelet

Though an all-black Tahitian pearl bracelet is perfectly stunning, there is just something about the multicolored pearls strung next to each other that visually ups the ante.  The color variations on the Tahitian black pearl are undeniably pretty, and present a slight twist on a classic that sets it apart from the standard same-hued variety.
