Nothing beats a square black off shoulder evening gown with a slap up necklace made of baroque pearls flattering the neck and the whole appearance. Baroque pearls have gained immense popularity in the year 2007. They have got the public attention in 2005 and it continued to gain popularity in 2006 and now in 2007, it is a hot trend in all the fashion conscious countries.

Baroque pearls are so called because of their irregular and unpredictable shapes. Baroque, or 'barroco' in Portuguese, is a pearl which has irregular and non spherical shapes and have elaborate patterns. And it is from here, the Baroque styles of the 17th and 18th century derived their name. Initially they grew naturally and because of their non confirming shapes were discarded by pearl merchants. And now, it is due to this iconoclastic shape, these have been re-discovered and used to make jewellery that are different and sometimes unique. Now these pearls are grown like other cultured pearls. They are formed when a pearl oyster secretes nacre and the nacre crystals get built in irregular layers and not the traditional process of concentric rounds.

In earlier times, this non concentric, non spherical shaped Baroque pearls were considered failed attempt and pearl farmers and merchants used to discard them. And now this non traditional, iconoclastic look seems to have taken the world by storm. People are trading Baroque pearls and buying jewellery studded or stringed with them.

You can order for ex-beading accessories as well as Baroque Pearls at home through online shops and square away with creativity and zeal.
