If you are interested in this particular topic about different gem types and the earrings made out of them then this article will provide you with some interesting information. First of all, let us start with the most famous gem type of them all, the Tahitian black pearls. Normally this gem is so extravagant, stunning and elegant that it comes mostly in the drop down design type of earrings.

The Classic Tahitian Pearls
The pearls obtained are cleaned, washed and processed to meet the requirements. The Tahitian pearls have certain standards which sets it apart from all other varieties of pearls. For example, 80% of the pearl su***ce should contain nacre substance in order to qualify as a Tahitian black pearl. Anything less than the above mentioned number, would be considered as a reject. Lots of varieties of Tahitian jewelry are available today which are highly expensive. But there are certain varieties of the Tahiti pearls which are not as expensive as a Tahiti black pearl. The best examples are the charcoal colored pearls and silver colored pearls which are reared from black lipped oysters.These spat are then reared under water for approximately three years to ensure that they grow up in the perfect conditions. Black lipped oysters are very sensitive and rearing them is a tough task. Once the oysters are mature enough, they are grafted with small round structure called ;Mother of Pearl; into their body by surgical methods. ;Mother of Pearl; is the material onto which the pearl forming substance, the nacre deposits. In fact Nacre is also referred as ;mother of pearl;, but here in the case of cultivation of black pearls, they are artificially grafted into the bodies of black lipped oysters.Nacre is a composite material containing aragonite, calcium carbonate, chitin etc which are essential for the formation of Tahitian pearls. The grafting of ;Mother of pearl; into the body of the oysters renders increased secretion of nacre, thus ensuring that pearls are formed in a relatively quick time. The nacre secretions get deposited gradually and after a period of 30 months to 35 months, the oysters are opened to get the pearls.

Daniel Strom Memento Mori, Carpe Diem Watch
What you have here is probably the world's most expensive goth watch accessory. Troubled teenage girls and boys can now have a new object of their affection as opposed to that cool coffin-style twin size bed they have been eying.Skulls and bones stacked up *** the corridors. You can even get versions of the palladium cased version with diamond decoration. Diamonds are used on the case as the eyes of the some of the larger skulls. I want to meet the man who orders that piece.This watch looks like Big Ben from a nightmare. What looks like a Halloween holiday watch is actually the newest luxury timepieces from Daniel Strom, son of watch maker Armin Strom. I am sure that daddy is really keen on Daniel's new dark art. Perhaps, it followed these events: first he dyed his hair black, then painted his nails black. Soon he was wearing Nine Inch Nail's t-shirts and shunning the sunlight. But things got really weird when he craved blood (but soon abandoned that idea after tasting the stuff), and decided to follow in his father's footsteps in the "dark arts of watch ***." So imagine this high-end result. Momento Mori, Carpe Diem has an inner case that is steel and hold the movement, which is a ***, automatic Swiss ETA 2824. The case is water resistant to 50 meters and has an AR coated sapphire crystal over the dial, and other sapphire crystal on the caseback. The watch is named the "Memento Mori, Carpe Diem!" Which translates into the uplifting statement "remember you will die, so seize the day." Good advice, but you aren't gonna close a lot of business meetings with ol' silver bones here. The message is the same as the much more innocuous Mr. Jones The Accurate watch I discussed here. I mention silver by the way, because that is one of the three metals the watch is available it. Not quite sure of the watch size actually, but I hope it is massive. The watch case is handmade. Basically, each of these pieces is going to be a custom order. Strom themselves even invites you to suggest custom orders, "All is possible, ask for an offer." In sterling silver, palladium, gold, or even platinum, the case design is gothic cool with skulls and architecture resembling an underground catacombs crypt.
