Why Is Pearl Jewellery Being Worn by More People?
If you have an eye for fashion and style when you step out of home, you would have noticed that many more people have begun to adorn themselves with pearls and pearl jewellery, including men!
But what is causing people to suddenly move to pearls from traditional gold and diamond jewellery? Here are a few reasons.
Realisation of Value
People from all walks of life, young and old, rich and poor, have begun to understand the true value of pearls.
The beauty and variations in pearls truly set them apart. Moreover, since they are natural gemstones of nature, every pearl is unique!
Scarcity
Pearls are hard to obtain. It can take months to years to get a single pearl from a mussel! This dramatically increases their value.
For example, saltwater pearls can be 10 times more expensive than freshwater pearls mainly because of their rarity.
Accessibility
With brands and online stores like Pure Pearls, along with improved pearl farming techniques and globalization, pearls are more accessible to the general public than ever before.
Status Symbol
Historically, pearls have always been worn by people who are very highly reputed, like kings, queens, CEOs, Presidents, etc.
As pearls have become more accessible, they are now worn by working professionals and celebrities as a symbol of authority and status. Not to mention, pearl jewellery looks AMAZING anyway!
How Has the Design of Pearl Jewellery Evolved Over Time?
Earlier, due to the rarity of pearls, only people who “had everything” could afford to buy ropes and ropes of pearls. Many others could only afford a few pearls.
So, most historic pearl jewellery had very few pearls and was combined with other precious metals like gold and silver.
Today, Pure Pearls is making pearl jewellery accessible to everyone. Hence, even a middle-class family man or woman can buy plain pearl sets without breaking the bank!
Furthermore, the Millennial and Gen-Z generations seem to prefer plain pearl jewellery like a plain pearl necklace, simple pearl studs and plain pearl bracelets instead of metal-pearl jewellery. Another reason for this paradigm shift is that plain pearl jewellery can be worn on an everyday basis.

Nevertheless, diamonds are extremely expensive. So, how do you make the elite fashion statement smartly and affordably? Well, we got you covered for that!
