The rounder, more lustrous, and larger the pearl, the better the pearl necklace.
1. The rounder the pearl shape, the better the pearl necklace
As the saying goes, "pearls are round and jade is moist." Due to natural factors such as water quality and weather, pearls are cultivated in various shapes, including round, pear shaped, egg shaped, teardrop shaped, button shaped, and arbitrary shaped. There are not many round pearls, and rarity is considered precious. The rounder the pearl, the higher its value. This is the principle of "one cent round, one cent".
2. The higher the glossiness of pearls, the better the pearl necklace
Gloss is the soul of a pearl, a pearl with little or no light is like a stone. The beauty of pearls lies in the faint halo luster on the surface of each pearl. A glossy pearl surface is like a mirror that can reflect a person's shadow. Therefore, when choosing a pearl necklace, people can face the light source and place the pearl in front of them to see if they can see the figure clearly.
3. The larger the pearl size, the better the pearl necklace
The ancient saying goes, 'Seven pearls are worth eight treasures,' and the larger the size of a pearl, the higher its value. Generally speaking, 7-9mm is the normal size of pearls, while pearls larger than 10mm are much more expensive than regular pearls. Pearls larger than 11mm are only available in Southeast Asian pearls and Tahitian black pearls.
