Chocolate Pearls – A Decadent Valentine’s Day Gift

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, men across the world are scratching their heads trying to figure out precisely what gift to give to their significant others.

There’s no doubt that Valentine’s Day can be one of the most challenging holidays to shop for.  To help you provide her with the perfect gift, Apples of Gold Jewelry has added new pearls to its pearl jewelry collection!  From chocolate pearls to pink pearls, from white to black, pearls are one of the most sensational pieces of jewelry for Valentine’s Day.

Women love chocolate and women love jewelry; so what better way to make the day perfect than Apples of Gold’s chocolate pearl jewelry? Our chocolate pears are natural freshwater pearls that are chocolate colored through a permanent dye process. This allows us to offer you quality pearls at affordable prices.

I personally recommend the Chocolate Pearl Necklace with 14K gold clasp. Each round pearl is secured together through a high quality double knotted 18 inch strand and the 14K yellow gold clasp contrast the rich chocolate color to perfection. Other great choices include the Natural Freshwater Chocolate Pearl Earrings in 14K Yellow Gold setting, or for a complete gift, the Chocolate Pearl Necklace, Bracelet and Earrings Set.

Regardless of which you choose, presentation of the gift is key!  Some excellent gift giving suggestions include putting the chocolate pearl gift underneath the lining of a box of chocolates for the ultimate surprise, or presenting them during the desert course on your Valentines’ Day dinner.

No matter what you choose to do this Valentine’s Day, remember that love comes once in a lifetime, and what better way to capture that than a heart felt piece of jewelry?

Chocolate Pearls – Simply Delicious

Two of the most common Valentine’s Day presents are chocolates and jewelry. These items are front-runners in the gift-giving category for good reason: women love receiving them. The only problem with giving her chocolate is the potential for a waistline guilt trip that your gift is ruining her New Year’s resolution. For this reason, sometimes jewelry is the best (and safest, if you are worried about receiving a death stare) route.

If you are on the hunt for jewelry this Valentine’s Day, we have the ideal jewelry suggestion: capitalize on your honey’s love for chocolate without the guilt trip by wowing her with gorgeous, rich chocolate pearls. To be clear, chocolate pearls are not some kind of kitsch edible jewelry; au contraire, they are a beautiful, unique pearls that come in a rich shade of brown. Chocolate pearls first appeared on the ears and necks of Hollywood A-listers a few years ago, and demand has since blossomed among jewelry lovers.

The warm brown hue of chocolate pearls makes them super versatile, easy to wear jewelry. The rich shade that looks wonderful on everyone’s skin tone, especially in the dead on winter when many of us are lacking in the tan department. White pearls pop beautifully against skin with a little color, but blend in with pale winter skin. Chocolate pearls, on the other hand, can help bring a warmth and glow to your skin, even during the chilliest months.

So, What Exactly is a Chocolate Pearl?

Affordable chocolate pearl jewelry is relatively new to the jewelry scene since the color is actually man made. Though there are not naturally occurring chocolate pearls in nature, several methods are used by jewelers to create chocolate pearls that will not fade. Bleaching Tahitian black pearls during formation is one method is expensive thanks to the relative rarity of Tahitian black pearls.

In order to create a gorgeous chocolate pearl that is affordable, natural pearls are treated with a permanent brown stain that will not fade or wear out over time. As such, chocolate pearls should be kept away from all harsh household chemicals. This isn’t such a departure from the care of regular pearls, which should also be kept away from chemicals to keep their luster.
