Shell pearls are man-made simulated pearls created from
materials. They are called “shell pearls” because each pearl
nucleus bead is made from an actual shell of a clam. Many layers
of pearl essence, made from crushed oyster shell, are applied
until a lovely pearl luster is created.
Because they employ a shell nucleus and repeated layers of
coating, shell pearls have a similar weight and feel, and the
same deep luster found in excellent quality genuine pearls, at a
fraction of the price.

Cubic Zirconia
History
In 1937, Cubic Zirconia was first discovered by German
mineralogists, M. V. Stackelberg and K. Chudoba. Little did they
know, the tiny crystals that they discovered would move on to
become a popular synthetic gemstone. It wasn’t until the 1970s
that Cubic Zirconia was first used in the jewelry world, when
scientists began growing the crystals in the laboratory. In the
1980s, Cubic Zirconia use in jewelry continued to grow and today
is it one of the most popular diamond substitutes available on
the market.
Composition
Cubic Zirconia is the cubic form of zirconium oxide that is
created in a laboratory. Its durable material allows the
synthetic stone to be molded into a variety of shapes. The stone
offers brilliant shine and flawless clarity. Cubic Zirconia is
available in a wide range of colors, including a colorless form
that is an economically important competitor to natural diamonds.
Caring For Your Cubic Zirconia Jewelry
Like natural diamonds, Cubic Zirconia needs to be cared for in
order to maintain its original brilliance and shine. Clean with
warm-to-hot water and a soft brush with a mild soap, then
immediately dry with a clean cloth after rinsing. Avoid contact
with perfume, body lotion, hairspray or any other that
may harm the shine of the stone.
Shell Pearls
Shell Pearls are man-made simulated pearls created from the shell
on an oyster. Each pearl is made through several different
stages, taking the raw material from a seashell and coating and
polishing it to create the final shape of the pearl. An important
addition to the Shell Pearl is a “mother-of-pearl” bead that sits
in the center. This adds weight and durability to each pearl
bead.
Shell Pearls are a popular simulated pearl variety. Because they
employ a shell nucleus and contain layers of natural cultured
pearl material, shell pearls showcase a similar luster, weight,
and feel found in excellent quality genuine pearls. Shell Pearls
create the classic look of lustrous pearl accessories, at a
fraction of the price.
