> Pearl: 10 Fast Facts.
1. A 'natural pearl' is one that forms without any human intervention in the wild,
and is very rare.
2. Cultured or 'farmed' pearls make up the majority of those that are currently sold.
3. Today, almost all pearls
used for jewellery are cultured
by planting a core or nucleus
into pearl oysters.
4.
The unique iridescence that pearls display is caused by the overlapping of successive translucent layers which breaks up light falling on the surface.
5.
Pearls are usually harvested after 2–4 years for Tahitian and South Sea, and 2–7 years for freshwater.
6. The value of the pearls in jewellery is determined by a combination of the lustre,
colour, size, lack of surface
flaw and symmetry.
7. Pearls come in eight basic shapes: round, semi-round, button, drop, pear, oval,
baroque, and circled.
8.
Perfectly round pearls are
the rarest and most valuable shape.
9. Pearls from the sea are
valued more highly than freshwater pearls.
10. Pearls are often given as
gifts to
celebrate the 12th wedding anniversary.
