How to Tell If a Piece of Pearl Jewelry is Worthy for The Value


There are so many shecy pearl to choose on our shooping website. Then some people would like to ask how a Piece of Pearl Jewelry is Worthy for The Value. There are some advice below.


1. Seawater pearls are much more valuable than freshwater pearls. Pearl size, shape, surface, color and overtone are also the causes for price difference. As a result, prices of pearl jewelry vary dramatically. In fact, these causes are only basic. To tell a piece of pearl jewelry is worthy for the price or not, there are some other more important factors.

2. Sense of art
Pearls are the beauty from nature. A piece of splendid pearl jewelry demonstrates spirituality of nature and designer’s inspiration and sense of beauty. It seems living and full of verve. It is unique, abstract but always strikes a chord with appreciators.

3. Craftwork
Without exquisite craftwork, even the greatest pearl would loose its brilliance in a piece of jewelry. A good craftsman counts all delicate detail, but whose exquisite craftwork is invisible, which means under the craft, the whole piece of jewelry feels so fluid and natural, and does not show track of the craft processing except craftsman’s emotion and thoughts.

4. Setting
Valuable pearls should be set in valuable metals, such as platinum and gold. Diamonds are always the ideal accompaniment for pearls. Diamonds’ natural sharp brightness and pearls’ soft shininess set off each other perfectly. With diamonds, pearls exude more dignity; while with pearls, diamonds show more elegance.



Jewelry is a combination of art, human intelligence, spirit and natural beauty. How valuable a piece of jewelry is depends on how good this combination is. So when selecting a piece of pearl jewelry, think it is work of art rather than expensive luxury.

Pearl Luster and Sizes VS Prices


Pearl jewelry is the first choice of an elegant and good taste lady. But when purchasing a pearl jewelry, there are always a few questions make our cleaver Mafia confused. Such as why the luster of the pearl looks the same or there is only a little difference between the sizes but they cost at various prices? Is there any big difference between high luster and very high luster? Should they cost different even they look similar on the candle light dining table or under the party light? Here we go the right answer for these tricky questions and let our elegant Mafia become an educated consumer.

Do you know, for a gemologist, it is very easy to distinguish diamond from zircon only by distinguish their adamantine luster and sub-adamantine luster with unaided eye? Their luster look the same in your eyes, right? But the tiny difference between adamantine luster of diamond and sub-adamantine luster of zircon shows a strong identified clue for trained eye. They looks do really different under trained eye, which means totally different types of gemstone and various market prices. The reason is the same for why luster of pearls looks similar but cost totally differently.

The luster of a pearl is one of the quality factors for a pearl and it is the most important of all the value factors to the beauty of a pearl. Both natural and cultured pearls are composed of crystalline layers from which lights is reflected at the near the surface. The luster of cultured pearls with a nucleus depends on nacre thickness and the surface characteristics. More than 90% of all pearls with good nacre thickness and slight growth characteristics will show a good to high luster.

The nacre thickness is indicated by the length of the time that a pearl is kept in the mollusk. The longer it is kept in the mollusk, the thicker of the pearl nacre and the larger size of the pearl will be.

The nacre growth rate depends on water temperature, the time of the year and the time of the day. For example, the Akoya cultured pearl-producing oyster from the Ago Bay in Japan, produces an average layer of 0.15mm per year. The growth rate is higher in the south of Japan which can reach 0.3mm per year. Normally, the cultured pearls are kept in mollusk for 18 to 24 months to get an ideal nacre thickness. For Tahitian cultured pearls, the average nacre thickness can reach 2mm to 2.5mm after two years for pearl below 10mm in size. Apart from the fact that it influences luster, nacre thickness is the main determining factor for a pearl’s durability.

Normally, size doesn’t have a strong influence on the price of a pearl than the other quality factors. The general rule is that the larger pearl is more expensive than a smaller one under the same condition with all the other quality factors are equal.

So the better luster and the larger size of pearl, the longer period of time will be spend on the pearl culturing process.

Let the beggars match beggars, Mr. Charm match Miss Perfect, an elegant lady is deserved to match with a piece of larger size pearl jewelry with high luster. That’s the way we are shining in the grey modern city.

How to Tell If a Tahitian Black Pearl's Color Is Dyed or Natural

Tahitian Pearls are cultured in French Polynesia. Because of its natural black color, they are also called black pearls. Tahitian Pearls are very valuable due to the level of complication involved in their production. Because the “right black” color is not always smoothly obtained, some of them need to be dyed to be “right”. The value of dyed black pearls is much lower than the natural black pearls. It is common for speculators to mix up dyed black pearls, even freshwater or fake pearls, with natural black pearls.

Here are some tips for how to differentiate natural or dyed black pearls.

Color
The natural colors of Tahitian Pearls are from grey to black, such as green, blue, lavender, brown and so on. All natural color pearls have overtones. If you roll a Tahitian Pearl, you will see an overtone circle above its surface. The overtones of Tahitian Pearls are mostly purple, pink, violet, blue, and so on. Tahitian Pearls tend to not only have one single color of overtone. The multi-overtone is called “rainbow” or “peacock”. Overtones vary between individual pearls. The dyed black pearls tend to not have other colors of overtone but black. If the color around the pearl hole or blemish area is darker than the body color, then it is a dyed pearl.

Size
The average size of Tahitian Pearls is 12 mm. It is normal to see size over 13mm. The smallest Tahitian Pearls are around 8mm. Black pearls smaller than 8mm are mostly artificially colored.

Shape
Tahitian Pearls are classified into round, semi-round, pear, oval, baroque and circle. The perfect round black pearls are extremely rare and valuable. It is less likely to find them displayed in an ordinary counter at a jewelry store; otherwise they are not the natural color.

Price
Tahitian Pearls are defined as the most valuable pearl type. It belongs to South Sea Pearls. It is impossible to find natural color Tahitian Pearl jewelry at a low price. The lowest price for an 8mm natural color Tahitian Pearl is not less than $100.

It is suggested that purchasing pearl jewelry from a reliable jeweler may save time and effort on checking the quality.
