Eco Friendly Pearls

As you may be aware, there are various different gems such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds and not forgetting the good ole diamonds. But did you know that compared to all the possible gems available pearls are by far the most eco-friendly gem. Why, you may ask? Because pearls don’t require mining that is used to unearth other gems. This mining is destructive. Pearls don’t require any chemical leaching. Most importantly pearls are found in mollusks which are used to culture pearls and these mollusks depend on a relatively stable environment and clear water, in order to develop.

  1. Damn right! Pearls are the eco frienly way to go.

    I’m not sure what “chemical leaching” is though. Do you mean “bleaching”? Pearls do require chemical bleaching if they are akoya or freshwater.
