Do you know how pearls are formed? I believe that many people are just as curious as me about how pearls come from and how they form pearls? In this article, we will learn how pearls are formed. Pearls are an ancient organic gemstone produced mainly in oyster and mussel mollusks. Pearls are produced in the bodies of semi-plugged animals such as oysters and mussels in seawater, lakes, and rivers. When foreign objects (such as sand, parasite eggs, and other foreign objects) invade the body of oysters and mussels, they will secrete a kind of nacre under the protective mechanism when stimulated by foreign objects and layer the foreign objects that fall into them. Wrap it around and round it to gradually form a pearl capsule, which eventually forms a pearl. Natural pearls are naturally formed when foreign bodies enter the mussels with water flow, and cultured pearls are artificially implanted with foreign body cores. Such foreign bodies in the body are called nucleated pearls.
Another is that after the outer epidermis of the mantle is stimulated by pathology, a part of the cell divides and then separates, then wraps the organic substances secreted by itself, and gradually sinks into the connective tissue of the mantle to form pearl sacs and then pearls. Because there is no foreign body as the nucleus, this kind of pearl is also known as the seedless pearl.
Pearls come in various shapes, most irregular, round, and pear-shaped, and the most typical and most valuable are round pearls. Because pearls are a product of nature, each pearl is different in size and irregular in shape. If you look closely at the pearl, you can see that there will be tiny holes on its surface. If you observe the luster, you can also see that its luster is like a seven-color rainbow with a variety of colors, and the pearl will have a sense of transparency when placed under the sun. These are the ways to identify pearls and their unique advantages.
Nearly 99% of the pearls on the market today are cultured, whether they are marine cultured pearls or freshwater cultured pearls. Most of these pearls are cultured to produce a rounder and smoother quality.
Pearl is a gem that has witnessed thousands of years of historical and cultural changes and still maintains a glorious position. Whether in history or the future, it occupies an irreplaceable position.
Pearls are easy to pair with jewelry, exuding nobility and elegance. Be it simple pearl stud earrings, pearl necklaces, or pearl bracelets. All have their characteristics. Even if you don't wear it as an ornament, enjoy it; pearls are pieces of jewelry that can enchant all women. Each pearl is unique and colorful, which is why many women love it. So before we buy pearls, we must first understand the relevant information about pearls. Next, I will help you to learn more about pearls.
