Surprise pearl finds!

Posted by

Pearls have been used in jewellery making and valued highly within our society for many generations, and considered to be great objects of beauty for countless centuries. The most valuable and revered pearls occur quite naturally in oysters or fresh-water mussels but are extremely rare, with the majority of pearls being artificially made, or cultured. They are not the same quality as those that occur naturally but are much cheaper and so are more readily available to everyone.

So considering the rarity of naturally occurring pearls, imagine the surprise of one woman when she discovered two pearls inside an oyster that had cost her less than a pound! Apparently the odds of finding a pearl in this way are around two million to one. The lucky lady was with her fiancé enjoying a celebratory home cooked meal. Shellfish and champagne was the chosen menu as the couple had recently managed to finally buy a new home. The oysters had been carefully cooked smothered in parmesan cheese. read more

Pearls – folklore and healing properties

Posted by

It is quite amazing that something as beautiful as a pearl starts life in a most unglamorous way, growing from a tiny piece of grit inside a mollusc which is not renowned for its beauty! Although occurring naturally for many centuries the advent of cultured pearls made these wonders available to many more people who can now enjoy the indulgence of owning and wearing stunning pieces of pearl jewellery.

Our love of pearls and their association with all things beautiful goes back a very long way in history. In Roman times Venus was their goddess of love and personified all that we associate with pearls – love, innocent charm, resplendent beauty, and all with a touch of mystery. The story goes that Venus started her life fully grown inside the shell of an oyster. She emerged naked out of the sea to fill the world with love and beauty. read more

CRUSHED PEARLS FOR RADIANT BEAUTY

Posted by

There are an absolute plethora of ingredients being used in modern day cosmetics ranging from traditional herbs and minerals to the less orthodox choices, one of which we’ll be discussing in this article.

The bottom line with any new cosmetic product is that it should make the user both look and feel beautiful – if those criteria are not met then the product will inevitably fail. The trouble often comes when trying to source food quality ingredients that are both effective, and in this modern market, original. Everybody wants more every thing; the products and ingredients that we used to consider as being the absolute best of the best are no longer up to our modern day standards at large. What would have been a market breaking foundation 10 years ago will now have a closely related brother or sister product in the bargain bin of the local pound store simply because it’s no longer the next big thing or breakthrough in cosmetic science. read more
