Princess – A princess drapes to or slightly below the collar bones. Matinee of Pearls – The matinee comes slightly lower than the princess, ending on a woman's chest.
Opera – An opera reaches past the bosom to the sternum.
Pearl Rope – The pearl rope is a length of pearls exceeding the opera.
So what exactly is a pearl? Cultured, natural, akoya, freshwater....do these terms confuse you?
Don't worry, you're not alone.
We all understand cultured anything else...after all we don't usually find our strawberries in the forest anymore. Our farm is filled with wild parsnips...but if I want parnsips I buy them at the grocery store....they're much bigger and better developed.
Well, pearls are much the same way...either "wild" or "cultured".
"Wild" pearls are called "natural" pearls. Although, often the term "natural" is also used to specify whether or not the color is natural....so keep that in mind.
Natural pearls, the only kind available centuries ago, are rare and valuable...if available at all. The country of Bahrain, however, still deals in natural pearls...in fact, selling of cultured pearls is illegal there.
Are you familiar with jewelry?
