Rare ornaments such as those made of natural conch pearls are preferred due to their scarcity. This rare gem is collected from the sea grass by the fishermen. The discussion below has elaborated the significance and needed for the protection of the sources.

The scarcity of the pearls makes them expensive in their markets. Therefore, only a few people can afford their products. This is a good way of representing the social status. A person putting on jewelry made of conch pearl will have a raised esteem. One can develop a good personal character from the social status assigned by the people around.

These natural treasures can only be produced by queen conchs. Human intervention does not affect increased production. The production level will, therefore, remain low as time passes on. People have given different values to the treasures. Some use them to perform rituals while the largest population uses them for ornamental reasons. Their natural occurrence has made them unique from other pearls considerably.

These natural gems come in different shades. These are combined with other special stones to produce attractive jewelry. One can choose the favorite color depending on the preference. Pink ones are normally given a higher value over the other shades. One can select a shade from its value or the preference and of the colors.

The sizes and shapes also differ from one conch gem to the other. Their value is assigned from the weight whereby they are measured in carats. Large ones have more carats and are more expensive. The shapes allow the producers to design various ornaments differently. One can make some jewelry from these treasures. Products from such treasures make good gifts. One feels appreciated when presented with such products at any one given time.

The creature responsible for the production of these rare ornaments is the queen conch. This is a rare sea snail that is edible. Residents of the Caribbean have developed numerous recipes for this sea creature that reward them with more products than just food. Only a small percentage produces the pearls since this comes as a reaction of body to the irritation. Nonetheless, the creature will always remain useful.

Excessive fishing has threatened the population of these creatures significantly. Specialists searching for the special gems have gone an extra mile in their urge to maximize the profits. The population has dropped drastically which has made some states to enact rules to stop the harvesting from their shores. This is meant to increase the population for the coming decades thus keeping the population of these creatures at the recommended level.

With this rate, conch harvesting should be regulated hence allowing them to reproduce and reach a certain number. At this stage, harvesting may be initiated in a moderated manner which will see the existence is maintained. The people have to protect their environment for the sake of future generations. Protecting such endangered species will keep their numbers high hence enabling the creatures to continue thriving.
