A Pearl Story

A gift of nature, pearls are among the world's oldest and most cherished treasures. The pearl endures as a legendary symbol of love, purity, wealth, magic and good fortune. As traditional gifts of love, pearls are an elegant way to celebrate life's most memorable occasions.

Govindji's Pearls

Govindji's pearls are appreciated for their exceptional quality and lasting beauty. A Govindji's pearl glows with breathtaking beauty and shines with exceptional quality. Every pearl within a strand is uniformly matched, hand-strung on knotted silk, and finished with a gold signature clasp. A timeless gift of classic style and elegance, Govindji's pearls are the finest grade of cultured pearls available, unsurpassed for heavy nacre, high luster, surface perfection and spherical shape, standards met by only the top tier of all cultured pearls harvested.

Appreciating A Pearl

Nacre

A crystalline substance that coats the mantle or nucleus within the oyster to form a pearl. The value and quality of cultured pearls are determined by their size, shape, surface, condition, color, and luster.

Size

A cultured pearl's size depends on the size of the nucleus implanted in the oyster and the thickness of the nacre.

Shape

The more symmetrical the pearl, the more valuable it is. Although rarely perfect spheres, most cultured pearls are round. Asymmetrical pearls are referred to as "baroque."

Surface

Tiny surface marks are seen as a hallmark of nature, and proof of the pearl's authenticity. While a pearl's surface is not perfect, the imperfections should be minimal. The higher quality the pearl, the fewer and smaller the imperfections.

Color

The classic and ever-popular white cultured pearl often displays hues of cream, grey, brown, green and silver. Pearls are also available in other natural colors such as black, blue, golden, pink and purple. Whatever the shade, fine pearls have both a body color and an overtone that creates their unique inner glow.

Luster

Luster is what gives pearls their luminous beauty, and is the key to evaluating pearls of equal size and shape. A combination of surface brilliance and a deep underlying glow, the luster of high quality pearls reveals a sharp reflection of light on the pearl's surface.

Considered one of the more exclusive of all cultured pearl varieties, South Sea pearls are known for their extraordinary size and satiny lustre.
