Few gems have returned to the spotlight quite like pearls. Effortlessly elegant, they remain an essential — whether worn as earrings, a necklace, or a sculptural ring. But do you know which pearl is which? If you do, it is easy to make the correct choices.
Rice pearls are oval or elliptical in shape and considerably cheaper and smaller than round pearls. 
Potato pearls are always freshwater pearls and are usually round. They can come in different colours 
A coin pearl is round in shape and side-drilled. Completely smooth pearls are hard to find and expensive - they generally have a rippled surface.
Akoya pearls are bead-cultured saltwater pearls produced in the akoya oyster. They are usually round or off-round in shape with a high shine lustre. 
Keishi pearls are non-nucleated pearls that form as a by-product of pearl cultivation. Composed entirely of nacre, they exhibit exceptional lustre and iridescent shine. Because they lack a nucleus, keishi pearls develop irregular organic shapes, making each unique. Their natural beauty and individuality are highly prized by jewellery designers
