Coin Pearls Are Not For Vending Machines
Coin pearls get their name from the coin shaped implant used to create them. The implant is made from a round flat disc of mother of pearl. Once inserted into the mollusk, a coin shaped pearl results.
This does not happen overnight though. You need a mature mollusk about three years of age and it takes another three years or so for the coin pearl to form completely.
Jewelers like the coin pearls as they can be set in many ways. They can be drilled from the side or the center. As their popularity grew, other shapes became available. Crosses, squares, drops, and flowers are some of the other shapes you can get.
Coin pearls are less expensive than their round counterparts, but take care when purshing them. Due to the length of time it takes to create them, some farmers harvest them before they are fully grown. This results in a pearl with very thin nacre.
Hold the pearl up to the light to check for thickness and be sure that the implant is not visible. These are signs that it was harvested too soon. Coin pearls may be dyed in many colors.
Coin pearl jewelry is an affordable option for those who love pearl jewelry. They can be made into necklaces, bracelets, pins, rings and earrings in a variety of settings alone or combined with gemstones.
