Costume Jewellery For People Who Believe "Less Is More"!

From the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to the present day, pearls have retained pole position as the most desirable "jewel" in the costume jewellery arsenal.. In fact, at various times in history, the lust for these sea-grown gems was so prolific that laws had to be passed forbidding anyone but the nobility to wear them and until the early 1900s, natural pearls were accessible only to the rich and famous. Fortunately, since man discovered how to create cultured pearls - a process of tricking the oyster into creating a pearl by manually adding an irritant, rather than leaving it to Mother Nature - there are more to go around. The freshwater pearls in the Pendants and Crosses below come from oyster beds in exotic locations in Akoya, the South Sea Islands and Tahiti and their quality, colour and lustre is impeccable. Indeed, each hand-picked pearl comes complete with that special glow and delicate rainbow shimmer that is the trademark of a high quality freshwater pearl. Subtle and understated, but oh-so-elegant, MAJ freshwater pearl jewellery is perfect for adding the finishing touch to wedding outfits and shoulderless numbers and it also ticks all the boxes for those who adopt a" less is more" approach to costume jewellery. The freshwater pearl pendants and crosses in this section are mostly set in Stering Silver and come complete with a Sterling Silver chain and a presentation box.
