Browse by Jewelry type
We offer you several ways to find the type of jewelry you are interested in.  One way is to browse by Style.  This browsing approach is for those who are interested in a particular type of pearl jewelry; pearl necklace, pearl bracelet, pearl ring, pearl earring or other pearl jewelry.  This browsing method will allow you to see everything we offer in a particular Style catagory.  We strive to offer many new and fresh pearl jewelry designs that you are not likely to find elsewhere.  Some of the pieces we design and make, some are designed by us and made by others to our specifications and some are designed and made by noted designers or other carefully selected suppliers who have demonstrated a commitment to superior pearl quality, value, design and workmanship.   Many pieces in our pearl jewelry collection are designed and fashioned in Tahiti where some of the world's most beautiful pearls are grown and where the French artistic influences produce some wonderfully fresh jewelry designs that are always in good taste and at the forefront of fashion.

Browse by pearl type

When you have a particular pearl or pearl color in mind, browsing by Pearl Type is the perfect way to narrow down the field.  Mermaid Pearls offers jewelry with several types of cultured pearls; Tahitian Pearls (also known as "Black" pearls), South Sea Pearls, Freshwater Pearls and Akoya Pearls.  Tahitian pearls are known for their amazing colors and interesting shapes.  Tahitian pearls come in marvelous shades of green, blue and bronze as well as black and shades of grey.  Often nature blends these colors together to spectactuar results with overtones of purple, green and blue.  Tahitian pearls also come in an array of shapes further adding to their exotic nature.  South Sea pearls are perhaps the most highly valued of all cultured pearls.  South Sea pearls are appreciated for their often large size and dazzling golden or silver-white colors.   Freshwater pearls offer excellent value with amazingly low prices for the quality they offer.  Freshwater pearls come naturally colored in white, ivory, peach, pink, lavender and burgundy.  Akoya pearls are especially famous for their brilliant luster.  White Akoya pearls, grown in the cooler waters of Northern latitudes, have a spectacularly high-quality nacre coating.

Browse by style

One easy way to home-in on the perfect piece of pearl jewelry for you is to browse by Style.  By Style we mean; Women's, Men's or Kid's styles.  Of course everyone knows that women love pearls and wear pearl jewelry it in most every culture on earth.  However, not everyone thinks of pearl jewelry for Men or Kids.  Many of our styles come from Tahiti where men commonly wear pearl necklaces, bracelets or rings.  Additionally, the French influences of Tahiti has also led to pearl jewelry being common for kids.  Most French-Tahitian girls will often get their ears pierced at an early age and wear pearl earrings.  We know that you will enjoy our wide range of jewelry for Women, but don't forget to take a look at what we offer for Kids and Men.  There is no reason that the whole family shouldn't be adorned in style and wearing Pearls; a symbol of purity, God's bounty and, historically; among the most precious of possessions one could own.

ABOUT THE PEARL JEWELRY WE SELL

Pearls have historically been one of the most sought after and treasured of all precious gems. They are unique among gems; produced by nature in their perfect, finished form.  In fact, historically, pearls have been appreciated to a level approaching worship.  In deed they were thought to have magical properties and were considered to come from God.  They have been know to represent the highest concepts of human virtue. Even Jesus compared the Kingdom of Heaven (the pursuit of oneness with God) to a pearl of great value that a man would sell all that he owns to possess it. The Greeks and Romans believed that pearls were a gift from Aphrodite and Venus their respective Goddesses of love and beauty. In modern times pearls are simply wonderful gifts from God to be enjoyed and appreciated for their beautiful lusterous surface, their astonishing colors, sensual shapes and transcendent beauty.

Cultured pearls are the product a long and arduous process undertaken by pearl farmers which begins with the collection of oysters, sometimes from infancy, through the raising of those oysters, keeping them safe from preditors and disease, selecting the ideal oysters for culturing pearls, surgically implanting the nucleous of the pearl in the oyster, allowing the pearl to grow over a time period that can stretch into several years, then harvesting, what is hoped to be, but seldom is, the perfect pearl.  Only a small fraction of the oysters that are grown to produce pearls end up providing pearls of sufficient quality to end up in our jewelry.
