New Tahitain Pearl Ring on Etsy
TAHITIAN pearls are highly valued because of their rarity; the culturing process for them dictates a smaller volume output and can never be mass produced. Before the days of cultured pearls, black pearls were very rare and highly valued for the simple reason that white pearl oysters rarely produced naturally black pearls, and black pearl oysters rarely produced any natural pearls at all. The black pearl oyster or Pinctada margaritifera is found in Tahiti and many other Pacific Island areas.
PEARLS are the result of a biological process; the oyster's way of protecting itself from foreign substances. The pearls are formed by a substance called nacre. Nacre builds up around the foreign substance that has been inserted under the skin of the mollusk between the oyster’s bivalves, which means that its shell is made of two parts, or valves. The nacre is made up of calcium carbonate. The pearls shape and sizes vary based on what is put in the shell.
Oysters are not the only type of mollusk that can produce pearls. Clams and mussels can also produce pearls, but that is a much rarer occurrence. Most pearls are produced by oysters in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Most jewelry is fashioned out of precious metals and jewels that are found buried in the Earth, but pearls are found inside a living creature, an oyster.
They are organic, and therefore should only be cleaned with water, hand polish clasp. Always avoid direct contact with perfumes and hairspray when wearing pearls.

Arareity Presents: Masriera Trunk Show
An 18kt gold and enamel jewelry line reminiscent of Lalique has been in production since 1839, in Barcelona, Spain. They offer artistic, historically significant jewelry designs which are an unusual dimension of jewelry that is both classical and as interesting as it is elegant.
Masriera has been featured in the New York’s MOMA, in a show of Catalan art entitled, “Barcelona and Modernity: Gaudi to Dali”. Upcoming exhibitions include Amsterdam’s display of eleven original pieces by the Catalan Art Nouveau Jeweler Louis’ Masriera, in the “Barcelona 1900” showing in the Van Gogh Museum. A show entitled “Artistic Luxury” will be at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. This show will feature the Louis Masriera line of jewelry which is an 18kt gold and enamel jewelry line that has been in production since 1839 and features Art Nouveau and Art Deco design.
The worldwide prestige of Masriera lies in the movement that was referred to in Catalonia as “Modernism”, and known internationally as “Art Nouveau”. In 1925, Masriera was one of the celebrities in the Paris exhibition entitled “Modern, Industrial and Decorative Arts,” at which “Art Deco” first emerged. Masriera was one of the driving forces behind European decorative arts at the end of the 19th century and is the only brand of Spanish jewelry to have a presence in the world’s leading museums.
Arareity cordially invites you to our Masriera Trunk show. Showing Saturday September 10th 10:00am to 9:00pm at Sacramento’s Second Saturday Art Walk.
For more information please call.
