Top 4 Popular Pearls In The World | Buy Pearls | Black
Pearls
Pearls have always been adored
as a sign of wealth, luxury and
exquisite taste. They represent
one of the most precious gifts
nature offers us.
Pearls are organic gems created by a living creature
and this makes them unique.
It is widely known that pearls can be natural and
cultured. The natural color of pearls ranges from
white, lilac, pink, cream, grey, gold (South Sea pearls) to
black for tahitian pearls. These days, over 95% of the
world pearl production is cultured. Anyway, each pearl
has a different origin and, obviously, a different story to
reveal. Are you ready to explore the world of the most
popular pearls?
Akoya Pearls
Akoya pearls are the most purchased pearls in the United
States. These pearls grow in the cool saltwater off
Japan’s coast. Why are Akoya pearls so special? They
have the richest luster in the world. Did you know that it
may take one year or possibly even two years, for these
precious pearls to reach a large size? Most of the cases,
these pearls have 9 millimeters. Akoya pearls come in
different colors: pink, grey, silver, white, cream, gold and
blue. Some of these pearls achieve a black color
through a process called irradiation.
Anyway, you should know that rosy hues are the most
expensive pearls. Akoya pearls were the first pearls to be
cultured in the early 20th century. Since then, so many
generations of women have strands of Akoya pearls in
their jewellery boxes.
South Sea Pearls
South Sea pearls can be brilliant white or golden. In case
you want to buy pearls as an investment, you should
know that Australian white South Sea pearls represent the
highest quality pearls in the world.
These pearls are large. The cultivation process is ample
and ranges from 20 to 24
months, but, unfortunately, many pearls are at risk of
dying before cultivation. Golden South Sea pearls are
different shades of gold that grow off the shores of
Philippines. They also grow slowly.
Freshwater Pearls
The unique culturing method makes freshwater pearls
special. What is their story? Freshwater pearls are not
bead-nucleated and this is the main reason they are less
round.
A small square of mantle tissue is taken from a donor
mussel’s inner lining. It is inserted into the lining of the
harvesting mussel to start pearl formation. The form of
these pearls is also spectacular. Imagine that only 2% of
these pearls are round or near round.
Tahitian South Sea Pearls
These pearls are extremely rare and this “quality” makes
them extremely expensive. Tahitian pearls grow in the
black-lipped oyster. Their color is charming.
They can be found in shades of black, dark green,
peacock and silver. Did you know that only 1 in 10,000 of
these oysters can produce a pearl? This complex process
(22-26 months) makes black pearls a real miracle.
Moreover, a full-size pearl has between 8 to 18 millimeters.
It is true that specialists judge pearls on their luster, color,
shape, nacre, type and surface quality. What matters
the most is that pearls represent a divine sign. Miracles
happen, and yes, pearls represent one of the meaningful
messages nature offers us.
