In fact, the style of the pearl is diverse in its rounded appearance and extremely inclusive luster. Regardless of which gems are used, pearls act as softeners, easing strong color contrast and refracting luster.

Nowadays, the most IN match is nothing more than the use of trendy clothing with precious jewelry. This idea comes from bvlgari, a mix of precious jewellery and cheap jewellery. As long as the color matching is comfortable, the style is OK, and there is no price difference between them. Modern people wearing pearls have long since deviated from the quaint and traditional past, and the matching is more and more novel, more and more creative, but the elegance is consistent.

Pearls also have different combinations for different face types and skin tones. Generally, the contours of the face are clear, and the women with large sense of facial features are more suitable for pearls with large particles, or the more complicated structure of the laminated structure, which can highlight the atmosphere and wealth of women.

Five indicators

For many jewels, the long torment is waiting for the most beautiful crystallization, but the pearl is “flowers are straight and foldable.” If it is not the pearl that is secreted at the best age of the mother, it will not only affect the luster, shape and The texture of the surface is also affected, so it is very rare to get a round pearl with a diameter of more than 10 cm before the first artificially cultivated pearl is raised. In the Qing Dynasty, this round pearl was called "walking beads" and was used to indicate the spherical shape of the pearl. Of course, even if the pearl can be artificially cultivated today, the diameter and shape are still one of the important indicators for determining the value of the pearl. Pearls with jewel value must first have a good body. The shape of the pearl is divided into a round to round (A/A+), a round (AA/AA+), a fine round (AAA) and a shaped pearl. Generally speaking, for creative designers, shaped pearls are the best design materials, which can fully utilize the space of imagination and make the pearls live vividly. These types of pearls are mostly used for wearing.

Secondly, we need to look at the smoothness of the pearl skin.瑕疵 It is a big challenge for pearls, because there are no small pits, sputum, and pearls with even growth lines are very difficult to find. Therefore, the classification of pearl mites is generally calibrated in five different levels, from “general (A), 75%-90% 暇 (A+), 90%-95% 暇 (AA), 95% 暇 (AA+) to 98% - all innocent (AAA). At the same time, it must have a good reflection effect. The best reflection effect, like the mirror surface of the metal, regardless of the size of the beads, the color, size, structure and edge of the reflector can be clearly visible on the surface of the pearl.

Once again, it also has excellent gloss. In the pearl family, the best gloss is akoya pearls from the Japanese sea. The pearl particles generally do not exceed 10mm in diameter, but the gloss is excellent. The best lustrous akoya pearls, like natural porcelain, shine like a bright, metallic glow, with good (A), high (A+), very high (AA), highest (AA+), gem-quality ( AAA) assessment.

After that, look at the thickness of the pearl. If the pearl is very thin, the price of the pearl will not be too high, because it will increase the risk of its preservation. There is an old saying in China called "People's Old Pearls", which means that the bio-jewels of pearls will be slowly oxidized or weathered as the years go by, so the thicker the pearls, the longer they are preserved, the possibility of being oxidized and weathered. The lower, of course, the higher the price. Generally divided into thin to medium (A), medium to thick (AA), thick (AA+), very thick (AAA).

Finally, the most important indicator is the color of the pearl. However, the indicator of colorness needs to be determined by the "beads". For example, the AAA-grade akoya pearl produced in the Sea of ​​Japan is a soft color of baby-faced baby, while the best color of AAA Nanyang White Pearl is a pure and pure white, AAA. The grade of Tahitian black pearls has a peacock green color, while the AAA Indian Ocean gold pearls have a rich gold color.

If a pearl has a round shape, flawless surface, excellent mirror effect, gem-quality luster, and superior color, it is known as the most advanced pearl. Of course, if you want to reach the highest level of pearl string, you need to match each one to perfection, so a perfect bead chain can always be encountered.

For collectors who love pearls, in addition to the above five indicators, the pearls with collectible value are the size of the diameter. Pearls with a certain collection value, the diameter of akoya pearls should be more than 10mm, the diameter of white pearls should be 16mm or more, and the diameter of gold pearls and black pearls should be 15mm or more. If the white South Sea pearl with a diameter of 18mm or more is a rare treasure, the annual output of the world is extremely low.

"family" huge

In the akoya family, pearls with gem-quality luster, 98%-100% flawless, round, very thick pearls and perfect string matching are called "flower beads" and are named hanadama. The pearl called hanadama is printed with the most valuable logo. Even the "MIKIMOTO" with the reputation of the king of pearls, the hanadama owned by each year is extremely limited, the world's top Akoya pearls are called the Thebestofbest series. The price of each 7mm or more bead chain is not less than RMB 140,000 (6.1397, -0.0053, -0.09%). By using fiber and x-ray detection, hanadama's nacre depth is not less than 0.4mm, and pearl luster needs to be analyzed by TERI value. As a result, glare can be set at this level. For organic jewellery, “perfect and flawless” is basically a fantasy, but when you buy akoya pearls with hanadama certification, it proves that you have bought the best pearl in the world.

The annual output of Akoya pearls is generally around 20 tons, of which hanadama is only about 20%, which is about 4 tons. Such low production is very rare for the global market of Nuoda, and it is difficult for monsters to dilute. It is expensive.

The production of Nanyang Pearl is about 40 tons a year, including Nanyang White Pearl, Gold Pearl and Black Pearl. Most of them are produced in Australia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, etc., especially Indonesia's Golden Pearl and Tahiti Black. Pearl production and exports are strictly controlled by the local government. Most of the freshwater pearls are produced in China, and the annual output can reach 800 tons. Due to the continuous maturity and optimization of technology, more and more freshwater pearls have more color, luster, size and shape than seawater pearls, and the output is larger. Excellent characteristics such as large profit margins, and the outstanding ones soon became the guests of the major luxury brands.

Of course, all the pearls mentioned here refer to the gemstones that grow in the bivalve mollusks such as Marsh's pearl or the cockroach and pleated crown. However, the family of pearls is not limited to these babies from bivalve molluscs.

There is a pearl from the pink sea snail living in the Caribbean, known for its unique pink flame. Arabs and Europeans have a soft spot for this kind of pearl. In recent years, it has also been increasingly sought after by Asian buyers.

This conch pearl is also known as Kong Kezhu. So far, its production has still been given by nature. There is no artificial method to produce it. Its production is extremely rare, and only about 50,000 conch can get one. A maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 conch pearls can be found each year, and up to 20% to 30% of this can be used to make jewelry. Due to the environmental pollution caused by the population growth, many places in the Caribbean are increasingly unable to adapt to the survival of conch, which is the reason for the rapid increase in the price of Conch in recent years. At international auctions, Conch Pearl is often sold at unexpectedly high prices, and it has always been a collector's heart.

Typical conch pearls generally range in color from light rose to bright pink, sometimes greyish green, ochre or white. It weighs about 2 to 6 carats, and the larger conch pearl weighs 20 carats. Among all the pearls, only the conch pearls have a color-changing effect, and the rose-like color is unforgettable.

In June 2003, at the Hong Kong Baohan Auction, the world's largest Kong Kezhu (100.4 carats) was sold at a price of 2.7 million US dollars, and the price record of a single pearl was once again refreshed.

Another exotic flower in the pearl family is not the unique Merlot pearl of Vietnam (commonly known as Dragon Ball). At the 2013 Beijing Luxury Fair, I was fortunate enough to witness the flame of Dragon Ball. This kind of pearl, like the fireball ejected from the Dragon King's mouth in ancient Chinese mythology, under the orange-like appearance of a ceramic-like brilliance, implies a special flame-grain structure like a cloud. There is no jewel in the world that is comparable to the rarity of Merlot pearls. There are currently only about 200 in the world. Almost all of the Meridian pearls that survived the world came from the royal treasures of the last generation of Vietnam. As a dragon ball, Merlot Pearl is only for the emperor's collection and has never been perforated. The royal family did not lag behind, and these treasures were exiled to France with the last emperor of Vietnam. Since then, the exiled Vietnamese emperor has maintained his life by selling a variety of Merlot pearls. He has slowly sold it one by one. After many years of searching, the scattered Melaleuca is only Put it together.

All the pearl experts in the world know that in the natural world, no matter which kind of pearl, even if you don't look at the shape, luster, color, enamel, pearly, the size is over 20mm, it is very rare, and the world's largest Merlot pearl. The size is far beyond what we are familiar with. Among all the Merlot pearls in the world, the largest can reach 397.52 carats.

Between 2003 and 2010, the largest Merlot pearl was bid twice for $7 million and $7.5 million, but the owner has not yet sold it, so this huge Merlot pearl is still waiting for the price. .
