Natural pearls are formed by oysters or other mollusks, it happens when an object (irritant) gets lodged into their shell, they will secrete a substance called nacre over the object to protect themselves and the layers build up to form what we know as a pearl. Natural pearls are very rare and it is more likely that you will find cultured pearls, these are made the same way but the irritant is placed in the shell manually.

Mother of pearl is also made by mollusks and it is the same nacre that has been secreted inside the shell to protect their bodies. Mother of pearl can show lots of great colours and again lends itself beautifully for decoration.

The most obvious pearl gift is jewellery; pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, bracelets and rings, make sure you get what you are paying for by checking out the seller and item. There are cheap imitations which are a bead covered in pearly paint, this can easily scratch off which wouldn't happen if it was real.

We have put together some great pearl gifts available online in our anniversary jewelry, pearl gift guide. Pearl anniversary gifts for men are more likely to be in mother of pearl. You can find mother of pearl watches, photo frames, trinket boxes and cufflinks.

Mother of pearl also makes stunning jewellery worth having a look at if you want something more contemporary.

For those looking to celebrate by going on a trip then pearl inspired getaways could be to dive for pearls off exotic islands, or at least visit them to takeaway a souvenir!

For those of you more interested in history how about a visit to London, England the home pearly kings and queens. Pearly kings and queens are originally from the East End of London but now there are a few couples across London. Their suits are covered in pearl buttons, fashionable in the late 1800s and the titles are passed down from the parents to the children. They now spend their time raising money for charities. Worth looking out for and if you don't manage to see them you can always pay a visit to the many historical buidings and maybe even a visit to Buckingham Palace!
