Freshwater Pearl Necklaces

By Derek J Lamington


Pearls are natural and are formed by Oysters when they cover an object in Nacre.Some time past, pearls were important financial assets, comparable in price to property, as many oysters would have to be looked for only 1 pearl. These were rare simply because were made only out of the blue.

Many of today's pearls are cultured and created by man, they insert bits of sand or other items into oysters on purpose. Later, pearls are harvested from the the oyster when it has covered the bead with layers of nacre. Most cultured pearls are produced in Japan. Inside the warmer waters with the South Pacific, larger oysters produce South Sea cultured pearls and Tahitian black cultured pearls, which are larger in space. Freshwater pearls are cultured in mussels, mostly in China.

Fine pearls do not have any flaws or spots while in the nacre: there's an even, smooth texture. Variables which affect value are the regularity in the shape, size, and colour: rose tints are the more popular.

Cultured and natural pearls might be distinguished from imitation ones by the really easy test. Consider the pearl and rub it (gently!) contrary to the side of a tooth. Cultured and natural pearls will feel slightly rough, like fine sandpaper, as a result of texture of natural nacre. Imitations will feel as smooth as glass because surface is molded or painted for a smooth bead.
