Above, we have experienced countless styles of pearls. Next, we will talk about some professional knowledge about pearls to help you better understand and choose what is good and suitable for you.

Pearl is an ancient organic gem, which is mainly produced in mollusks such as Pinctada and Pinctada. However, mineral beads containing calcium carbonate are produced by endocrine action.

In the international gem circle, pearls are also listed as lucky stones for June birthdays and commemorative stones for 13 and 30th wedding anniversaries.

Simply put, pearls are divided into freshwater pearls and seawater pearls.

The difference between freshwater pearls and seawater pearls is that the former is seedless pearls and the latter is nucleated pearls. For this reason, freshwater pearl is the best raw material for beauty pearl powder, which has excellent skin care effect and can whiten and lighten spots.

The output of seawater pearls is very low, and the cultivation process is extremely difficult and the cost is high. A pearl mussel only produces one pearl and can only harvest it once a year; However, the output of freshwater pearls is high and the cost is relatively low, and a freshwater pearl oyster can form about 13 pearls.

This is why the price of seawater pearls is higher than that of freshwater pearls.

Besides, seawater pearls undoubtedly grow in the sea. At present, the more popular varieties are as follows:

Arcoya

Akoya pearl is a kind of seawater pearl. The Japanese pronunciation of "ぁこや" is Akoya, the Chinese homonym is Aguwu, and the Japanese name is Zhu Zhen. The origin is mainly the Seto Inland Sea in Mie, Kumamoto and Ehime Prefecture of Japan. The mother shell that breeds Akoya pearls is Malpighia, which is produced in Nanhai, China. Generally, one Malpighia can only harvest 1 Akoya seawater pearl.

Akoya seawater pearls have the strongest luster among all pearls. Even in very dim places, they can still emit bright luster by reflecting weak light, so they are called "small bulbs".

The quality classification of Akoya seawater pearls can be divided into three types: Puzhu, Flower Pearl and Goddess Pearl.

Flower beads: Flower beads are the top products of Akoya seawater pearls.

Goddess: the best among the flowers. After being identified by a light transmission instrument of a professional organization, we can see pearls with three classic interference colors of Akoya, giving them the name of the goddess.

The classification of Japanese Akoya seawater pearls is like a pyramid. Most of them are ordinary Akoya as the bottom of the tower, flower beads as the top, and goddess pearls as the top.

If you buy a pearl ornament with a pearl grade of A 1A+A 1A, you can say that you have bought a jewel-grade pearl. Only pearls with extremely high quality can reach 4A level.

Nanyang Zhu Jin

Because it is golden, it is called Nanyang Jinzhu. It is a kind of pearl that grows in the berries of Kingdee. It is only found in a small part of the northwest coast of Australia. It is also called the South Sea Pearl of Australia. Its texture is very good, and it is the top grade among pearls, so it is very precious.

Tahiti black pearl

Tahiti black pearl is a special product of French Polynesia Salt Lake in the South Pacific, which is precious and unusual, and enjoys the reputation of "the queen's pearl" and "the queen among pearls". It is very difficult to cultivate black pearls in Tahiti. The process of cultivating pearl oyster is very long and easy to die. Coupled with the influence of weather and water quality, finished products are very scarce.

grotesque

Baroque describes the irregular and unique shapes of objects, while most pearls are regular, such as circles and meters. Irregular pearls are hard to get, and shells are easy to die in the process of breeding, which is the rarity they all use, so they are called baroque pearls.

fresh water pearl

Freshwater pearls refer to pearls produced in rivers. China is a big producer of freshwater pearls, accounting for 95% of the world's output. Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province is the largest freshwater pearl breeding, processing and sales base in China, accounting for more than half of the country's output, and is known as the "Pearl Town of China".

There is a kind of freshwater pearl that has swept the whole jewelry industry in recent years, that is:

Edison Pearl

Edison pearl is a kind of fresh water pearl with excellent quality, which is developed by high technology and cultivated ecologically. Edison Pearl is called because Edison had more than 2,000 inventions in his life, but he once said, "There are two things that my laboratory can't make, and that is pearls and diamonds." In order to make up for Edison's regret, it was named "Edison Pearl".

Edison pearl is a kind of natural pearl, which is larger and rounder than ordinary freshwater pearls. Because Edison's pearl contains a nucleus, and the cultivation time is long, generally reaching more than five years, the diameter can basically reach 1 1 mm or more.

Moreover, the roundness of Edison pearls is high, and many of them can reach the standard of perfect circle, which greatly makes up for the shortage of round freshwater pearls. Edison's pearl culture technology can be said to imitate Nanyang pearls, and its appearance makes freshwater pearls and Nanyang pearls more competitive.

Edison's pearls are rich in colors, including the common colors of freshwater pearls: white, flesh color, pink, purple, orange and other natural colors. Rich colors have also become its competitive advantage based on the international market.

In terms of price, generally speaking, seawater beads that meet the perfect standard, with a diameter of more than 1 1mm, are over 10,000 in many brand stores, while in the wholesale market, seawater beads with a diameter of more than 14mm are also over 10,000, and it is normal for a single bare bead to cost thousands.

In contrast, the price of freshwater pearls will be much closer to the people and the public can afford it.

And many big brands are using imitation pearls to pursue the effect of jewelry. This is because it is difficult for a big jewelry brand that pursues perfection to find so many pearls with the same quality and color. The substance of pearls has almost natural uniqueness.

Well, having said that, do you prefer pearls?
