Pearls have been prized throughout the millennia and are the oldest known gems. Elegant and glamorous, pearls can be worn with jeans or add the finishing touch to a wedding gown. They look beautiful on their own, strung on silk, or paired with crystal and hanging from a gold or sterling silver chain. Although most pearls today are cultured, only 50% or so survive the nucleation process, and only roughly 5% of those produce quality pearls. Though freshwater pearls are of a thinner nacre and smaller size than saltwater pearls, innovations in the nucleation process have increased their quality dramatically, making them a viable substitute for the more expensive saltwater gems. Fresh or saltwater cultivated, the pearls used in a piece of Dragonfly jewelry are handpicked. From chic to casual, pearls always make a statement.
