Hmmmmm.....which to choose?? - The ongoing Pearl debate

As I sat down and started on some new designs for a necklace I was struck with a question...do I use white, black or artificially coloured Pearls for this one??

Well, straight off I can tell you I knocked out the idea of artificially coloured Pearls. Anything artificial doesn't do the final piece of jewellery justice in my opinion. There are a lot of colour variety for natural Pearls available on the market but at Bohemian Butterfly we often opt for black, white or champagne coloured Pearls. All of which have their own natural charms...so which to choose??

Black pearls have this mysterious quality to them and they always add this dark glamour to a piece. Whereas white pearls are reminiscent of Coco Chanel and her chic style. They are eternally classic. Champagne Pearls add a natural element to the colour palette of the piece and pretty much compliment any stone or metal they are paired with. It was a tough decision but as the focal point of the necklace was a large Botswana Agate disc and the complimentary stone was black Garnet I was sold on the black Pearls! The resulting effect was a striking Sterling Silver chain necklace. It hasn't even been listed for sale yet, but I just couldn't resist showing you.

black pearls might be one of my favorite things, ever. I love the color variation that you can get - purples, pinks, greens, gold, blues...lovely.
