About Learn About Pearls#

Learn About Pearls is a reference on pearls: how they form, the main types, quality, grading, buying and care. It’s published by Unique Pearl, a pearl jeweler based in Great Neck, New York. The site carries no advertising, and its editorial policy explains how the reference is kept separate from the shop.
