The Mysterious Allure of Pearls and Diamonds

When you think about precious jewels, there are really only two that captures our imaginations and attention, diamonds and pearls. When combined, these two jewels create some of the most dramatic pieces of jewelry ever seen.

To show you how pervasive these two jewels have become in our history and society only takes a moment when searching book titles. If you search on Amazon for books about pearls you will discover over 20,000 titles. Similarly, searching for diamonds results in over 25,000 titles. No other gem comes even close to capturing the imagination and interest of diamonds and pearls.

This mysterious allure is why the value of diamonds and pearls continues to remain high throughout the years. When you invest in high quality jewelry which combines diamonds and pearls like the Mastoloni 7-Strand Pearl and Diamond Clasp Bracelet recently featured by Nordstrom, it will retain or gain in value throughout your life. This interesting combination of Akoya cultured pearls, diamonds, and white gold is exactly the kind of piece which captures the imaginations of authors when they sit down to write a story. The combination of the twinkling brilliance of light refracting through diamonds combined with the iridescent glow of pearls, creates a beauty which cannot be matched. They look sensational in sunlight, in a ball room, or outside under a romantic full moon.

Another example of the magical beauty of combining diamonds and pearls can be found in a very simple ring from Mastoloni, the GR1364. The ring highlights a single 8mm cultured pearl at the top of the setting. Alongside the pearl is a row of 7 small diamonds on each side. The ring is made of yellow gold with two heart openings just below the pearl. The simple creation captures attention instantly.

Diamonds and pearls have become the symbols of love, romance, elegance, and class. Any time you are considering buying jewelry as a gift you should consider either pearls or diamonds, or even better a piece of jewelry highlighting the beauty of both. It will be a gift which will produce sounds of joy and happiness, or possibly leave them speechless with delight.
