Changes between the Old Classic Styles of Pearl Jewelry and Today's Modern Designs

The types of pearls used in creating pearl jewelry can come in a number of different shades as well as different shapes. There are the classic round stones as well as pearls that have a rectangular shape with smooth uneven edges. In the past the classic round pearl was usually ranked in quality by how evenly formed the stone was. Today there are many pieces of pearl jewelry that use the uneven rectangular pearls in creating the finished piece. These are often found in earrings and bracelets and can come in a variety of shades.
Another new twist used in making today's pearl jewelry is the addition of other gemstones. In years past the pearl was often the only item used in creating a piece because it was considered to be very pure and elegant all by itself. Today it is often paired with diamonds or crystals to add accent and interest to the design.
