The pearls are available in several colors from white, cream, pink, orange and pastal colors. which can be due to natural cultivation, or they can be treated for many different colors. Pearls come in various shapes such as round, oval, coin, button, baroque, stick, potato, square and rice. Pearls are organic and are composed of calcium carbonate and require proper care.
