Choosing high quality pearl

The most important thing about pearls is the luster, a shine with a color.
If there is an above certain nacre, pink or green substance color can be seen by the action of the luster.

Examine " Nacre thickness"and"Luster"

When it comes to looking for a pearl, it is key to exanine its nacre thickness, luster, color, shape and size. We would like to focus on the nacre thickness and the luster of the pearls. When foreign particles enter the mollusks, the oyster will internally try to secret the same components as the inner lining of its shell and integrate and wraps itself around these particles which eventually become a pearl. (The particles that are integrated are called “nacre” and this is what encases around the foreign objects.) When we look at the pearls, we can determine the thickness or thinness of the nacre thickness. However, it is considered that the thicker the nacre thickness is, the deeper and more luster the pearl has. Every year, the nucleating process is carried out between the seasons of spring and summer, however the pearls that are extracted that winter is called a “one year pearl,” whereas the pearl that has been extracted the winter before is known as “the crossovers.” These “crossovers” have a higher tendency to have a thicker wrap and a more beautiful luster; however, a much more meticulous management of the mollusks is required and the volume of harvest is relatively scarce.
