***Important note: every heart pearl is unique, meaning that no two pearls look exactly the same in color. The pearls are typically a shade of medium to dark purple, but sometimes they are lavender, pink, white, or multi-color. The luster (aka shine) may have red, gold, blue, or green tones in certain lightings. If you have any concerns or questions before buying, or would like to pick out a specific heart pearl from my supply for your bracelet, please reach out to anissa.firefly.song@gmail.com
Stone: Freshwater Pearl
Wire Material: Silver Plated
A pearl forms around any kind of irritant inside of a clam. If a parasite enters a clam, the clam coats it in nacre (creating a pearl). This works as a defense mechanism to keep the parasite from taking over the clam. However, irritants can also include things like grains of sand and fragments of shell. Heart pearls are cultured pearls, meaning that the production of them is human-aided. People insert heart-shaped seeds (or irritants) carved from shell and the clam coats it in nacre, forming a pearl around the heart shape. The heart pearls in these silver plated bracelets are also not the traditional white color. This does not mean they are dyed though. The color of a pearl is determined by the DNA of the clam, the temperature of the water, and the minerals in the water. Pearls naturally come in a variety of colors like white, pink, purple, cream, rose gold, champagne, and other rarer colors.
