Pearls are one of the most wanted, oldest and most spectacular gemstones in the world. They have been used as adornments for centuries and are a huge trend today.

Pearls are formed differently to most gemstones, as they’re an organic creation which is found in the sea.

Pearls are concretions of shell material formed inside the tissue of molluscs. They come from shellfish, whose characteristic feature is a soft body that is protected by a shell – for example oysters and mussels.

Pearls come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and has proven itself to be remarkably versatile when it comes to jewellery and has a fascinating history.

A natural zircona is a mineral that is made up of zirconium silicate and occurs in various colors. It is often used as a gemstone and can be found in jewelry, but its most common use is as an industrial material due to its extreme hardness. Natural zirconas can come in various colors, ranging from brilliant yellow to dark green.

Lab-made (also called synthetic or created) cz stones are engineered Zirconias with similar physical properties to natural Zircons. These stones are produced using advanced techniques and offer a more affordable alternative to natural stones. Cz stones are often colorless, but they can also be colored by adding trace metal oxides during the manufacturing process. They are extremely durable and have excellent brilliance compared to other man-made gems. While the price of lab-created cz stones will typically be lower than that of natural zirconias, the quality of the stones may be almost quite as high as those of naturally occurring ones.
