Gold Mother Of Pearl Jewelry

Gold mother of pearl jewelry possesses the incredible luster of pearls but with a rich, striking golden color. It is actually the same substance as the golden pearls that oysters and mussels create, but gold mother of pearl is cut from the mullosk's shell. It often has a cast, called orient, that is blue-green or red, giving gold mother of pearl jewelry a stunning iridescent quality.

You'll find that gold mother of pearl jewelry is available today in a variety of fabulous precious metals, including sterling silver. Although most gold mother of pearl gems are their natural color, for more intense hues consider processed mother of pearl jewelry. These pieces feature gemstones with brighter, more saturated color.

When shopping for gold mother of pearl jewelry, note the gemstones' luster and orient. The gemstones should be very shiny. They also should have orient, a rainbow or single-colored cast that reflects off the gem.

Although most mother of pearl jewelry is found in beautiful inlay designs, gold mother of pearl beads are popular, too. Whether they are classic round orbs or marvelous baroque shapes, these golden gemstones are often strung for necklaces and bracelets. You'll also find mother of pearl beads as dangles on earring and pendants.

If you want to add a little versatility to your gold mother of pearl jewelry, choose a piece that is also set with beautiful white mother of pearl. These combinations make the golden color "pop" and give you more options with which to wear your gold mother of pearl jewelry.
