How To Buy Pearls And Pearl Jewelry
Pearls have historically been one of the most sought after and treasured of all precious gems. They are unique among gems - produced by nature in their perfect, finished form. Historically, pearls have been appreciated to a level approaching worship - They were thought to have magical properties and were considered to come from God. Pearls have been know to represent the highest concepts of human virtue. Even Jesus compared the Kingdom of Heaven to a pearl of great value that a man would sell all that he owns to possess. The Greeks and Romans believed that pearls were a gift from Aphrodite and Venus - their Goddesses of love and beauty. In modern times pearls are simply wonderful gifts from nature to be enjoyed and appreciated for their beautiful lusterous surface, their astonishing colors, sensual shapes and transcendent beauty.
Cultured pearls are the product a long and arduous process undertaken by pearl farmers which begins with the collection of oysters, sometimes from infancy, through the raising of those oysters, keeping them safe from predators and disease, selecting the ideal oysters for culturing pearls, surgically implanting the nucleus of the pearl in the oyster, allowing the pearl to grow slowly and naturally over a time period that can stretch into several years, then harvesting, what is hoped to be, but seldom is, the perfect pearl. Only a small fraction of oysters provide pearls of sufficient quality to end up in our fabulously beautiful, original pearljewelry.
Saltwater Pearls - Facts And Information
The most common cultured sea pearls are from three different oysters. Akoya pearls produced principally in Japan and China come from the Pinctada Fucata oyster. They are generally white or cream colored with pink, green or blue overtones. Akoyas are generally smaller than either Tahitian or South Sea pearls, typically ranging between 5-9mm sometimes reaching as large as 13mm. This is the most widely available type of pearl.
Tahitian "Black" Pearls are produced in the tropical lagoons of French Polynesia and come from the Pinctada Margaritifera oyster. They come in shades of grey, black, silver, green and mixed colors of predominently green with purple called "peacock". Sizes generally range between 9mm and 18mm.
South Sea pearls come from Australia, Indonesia, The Philippines and surrounding waters. They are produced by the Pintada Maxima oyster and are known for their deep lusterous quality and large size. South Sea pearls are mainly gold or white with pink, green or blue overtones. These pearls typically range in size between 9mm and 20mm.
Freshwater Pearls - Facts And Information
Freshwater Pearls are produced not by oysters but rather by mussels. China is the primary producer of cultured freshwater pearls. While previously thought of as inferior, new and improved techniques of cultivation have produced freshwater pearls that easily rival thier saltwater counterparts at a fraction of the cost. Freshwater pearls are priced well below saltwater pearls because often several pearls can be produced in each mussel cultivation cycle, production costs in China are lower and various market forces are working to the consumer's benefit at this time.
Being virtually solid nacre, freshwater pearls offer high luster and durability. Of course as with all pearls some are better than others. The few best of a harvest command the highest prices but very beautiful freshwater pearls are available at surprisingly affordable prices.
Freshwater pearls represent the best value in pearls today. We are convinced that as the public re-evaluates and subsequently modifies its preconceptions about Chinese freshwater pearls, we will see prices rise over the coming years, but for right now, these pearls are a wonderful bargain.
