How to form cultured pearls

Princess Diana once said, "if a woman can only have one piece of jewelry, it must be a pearl." The following editor will introduce how cultured pearls are formed. What's the difference between natural pearls and natural pearls?

I. how to form cultured pearls

According to the theory of the origin of natural pearls, shellfish and mantle are cut into small pieces by artificial method and transplanted into the tissue of another shellfish. After a series of changes, the transplanted mantle piece forms a pearl sac and secretes pearl to form seedless pearl. In addition, the pearl nucleus made of clam shell or other materials was implanted at the same time of mantle transplantation. After a series of changes, the pearl sac was formed around the pearl nucleus, and then the pearl was deposited around the pearl nucleus to form artificial pearl.

At present, there are only four kinds of wild pearls, namely, conch beads, Merlot beads, abalone beads and mustard beads.

Artificially cultured pearl

Compared with the rarity of wild pearls, cultured pearls are much closer to the people. Artificial cultured pearls are mainly divided into seawater pearls and freshwater pearls, the quality of freshwater pearls are very general, the price is also different. There are four kinds of → Nanyang seawater pearls, Japanese akoya seawater pearls, Mabei pearls and Guangxi Nanzhu pearls.
