Many people think that women are difficult to shop for; however, many women truly do appreciate receiving jewelry. Pearls are a classic choice that nearly any woman would be thrilled to have, but it is no longer necessary to stick with a single strand of pearls when choosing a necklace. Nowadays there areĀ  many different options including the floating pearl necklace and the ever popular single pearl necklace, or pendant, which is what I’m going to talk about today.

So who would want a pearl pendant? Well, though pearl strands are absolutely classic and beautiful, they can be thought of as a little old fashioned. Many people also consider it highly inappropriate for a young girl to wear pearls. However, it’s also important not to choose something so trendy that it can only be worn for a season or two before looking dated. That’s where the single pearl necklace comes in. This necklace is a pearl on a chain – what could be simpler? It lets the beauty of the pearl speak for itself while also beautifully accenting any outfit. Young girls or women, someone with a delicate bone structure, or anyone who wants something a little different from pearl strands that is just as classic, will all love these necklaces.

There are many occasions to give pearls as a gift. Christmas might be the first thing to come to mind, but what about Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day? Also consider giving a single pearl necklace as a birthday or wedding present. The June birthstone is the pearl, as well. Finally, pearls are the gift given on the 12th wedding anniversary (by modern standards) and are the traditional gift for the 30th anniversary as well.

Now that we’ve covered the who and the when, let’s discuss the types of single pearl pendant necklaces you can choose. The best thing about these necklaces is that you can easily customize every aspect; for example, you can pick the perfect pearl from one retailer, the chain from another, and the setting from yet another. They also can be fairly inexpensive, depending on which type of pearl you choose. The most classic, formal type of pearl is the Akoya – these are the perfectly round pearls we know and love. Freshwater pearls, however, are comparable in quality, occur in many different colors naturally, and can be dyed so that you are sure to find the color you like. South Sea pearls are known for their huge size and warm, golden color, but they are also the most rare, and priced accordingly. Tahitian pearls are particularly known for their dark body colors and metallic overtones. They are also the only type of pearl that naturally comes in black aside from Cortez pearls.

As you can see, buying a single pearl necklace for someone you love is an easy and much appreciated thing to do. With so many different styles to choose from, so many different occasions to give a gift on, and so many women who love pearls, you really can’t go wrong!
