Natural pearls are much rarer and more expensive than cultured pearls. Vintage pearl jewelry from after approximately 1950 can feature either type of pearl, while antique pearl rings or other jewelry from before feature natural pearls.

• Cultured Pearls - Almost all pearls in contemporary jewelry are cultured pearls, which are partially created by humans. To create a cultured pearl, a human inserts a small, round piece of shell into an oyster. The oyster then encases the bead in layers of nacre, which is the substance that makes pearls.
  
• Pearl Meaning - Vintage pearl jewelry is especially popular for bridal accents, and pearls are often associated with innocence, purity, chastity, modesty, and of course, romance and love, all of which are ideal traits for wedding jewelry.
• Wear and Tear - Pearls can lose their glow if they come into contact with the alcohol or acids in perfumes or other some makeup. Pearls are very soft gems, ranging from 2.5 to 4.0 on the Mohs scale. This means that you can scratch a pearl with many everyday objects and most other gemstones.
