Pearls are the jewels of people born in June under the sign of Gemini. They represent peace, prosperity, calm, new beginnings, humility, innocence, and riches. Pearls are very precious gemstones that are often passed down through generations because of their high value. They suit everyone, look great, can be worn at any time of day, and are timeless, making their relevance last even in the present as well as the future. 

There are two types of pearls – natural and cultured. Pearls are usually formed in seawater, and these are the rarer and more expensive kind. The ones formed in freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers, and ponds are cheaper alternatives. These are the pearls that are dominating the market at the moment. 

However, just because freshwater pearls are easily available and  affordable, that does not make them any less valuable.

The cost of pearls formed in freshwater can range from $65 to $5,000, depending on the quality of the gemstones. 

The best way to understand the quality of these jewels is to look at their surface as well as their luster, which should be bright and not dull. The surface should be clear enough so that you can see your reflection. 

Pearls that look dull and chalky are of bad quality.

Pearls' value depends on a variety of factors. Natural pearls are very rare, and their sales are usually limited to auctions and collector's markets.

Also, another thing to remember is that if you want pearls that are matching or almost identical, their prices are bound to go up. 

For example, if you purchase pearl earrings, the more identical and matching the pearls in both earrings of a pair are, the more they are likely to cost. 

The same principles also apply to other pearl jewelry items as well. 

Another determining factor of the jewel is its size. Pearls are more expensive the larger they are. Beads of Cambay specializes in selling large hole pearls at the best prices in the market. These pearls and the prices that they come at are sure to leave you spellbound. 

While most pearls are cultured now to cater to the rising demand for these jewels, they are no less valuable than their marine counterparts. Saltwater pearls are more difficult to culture when compared to those farmed in freshwater bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. However, they are gemstones, after all, and are bound to hold value. 

Beads of Cambay also sells another very different variety of these jewels—the keshi freshwater pearls. These are the byproducts of the pearl-making process, found in the lining of the mollusk. They are small and shaped irregularly. However, such is the beauty of these underwater gemstones that even their byproduct has its own category and fanbase. These are also cheaper than the usual larger pearls grown in freshwater.

With cultured pearls, another important thing to note is that, due to human intervention, their growth is controlled. These pearls still look just as beautiful and can be passed on as family heirlooms for generations. 

Beads of Cambay also have flat, thin, crisp, button-like pearls called coin freshwater pearls. These add such a beautiful summery, beachy, young, and bohemian touch to the jewelry. 

There are various types of pearls formed in freshwater that are in various shapes, colors, and sizes.

There are the keshi pearls, which are a byproduct of the pearl-making process. They are small and not uniform in shape, but they are still stunning. These are the cheapest as compared to other forms of pearls, and this is mainly because they are a by-product. However, it doesn't matter. Despite their popularity, they remain stunning.
