Pearls In Art And Literature

The formation of pearls is a unique phenomenon of mother nature--not only for their origins, created by certain mollusks in the ocean and accessible only in deep-sea, but for their unusual, beautiful luster, their pale color, and their roundness. All of these have contributed to the enduring public fascination with pearls.


Pearls have been celebrated in Western art and literature since they were first brought from the East, many believe by Alexander the Great between 334 and 330 B.C. The Pearl examines the various myths associated with pearls, including the belief that they had medicinal or talismanic powers; the response of the Church to the wearing of pearls and the symbolism of pearls in Christianity; and the various literary references to them.


Myths and legends of pearls in China are always have something with the moon. The first pearl was born because of the moon; one of the four beauties in Chinese history, Xi Shi was born from a big beautiful pearl of the goddess of the moon, Chang Er.

The Question About Restringing The Pearl Necklaces

Some of our customers wrote to us asking the questions about restringing the pearl necklace. In fact, it is a good maintenance to re-string your pearl necklace once every 2 or 3 years, depending on the times or frequency that you wearing.


As the time goes on, the dirt will adhere between pearl beads or in the holes of the beads, these dirt will produce frictions which lead to the breakdown of the line. And those breakdown point are mostly close to the clasp.


Do remember not hang your pearl necklace for a long time, the long chain will deform or breakdown. Make a knot between every two pearl beads is a good idea to prevent the frictions between them. Even if the line is broken, the beads will not spread out and you just lose one of them.

Correcting The Wrong Cleaning Pearl Methods

Someone told me that use the toothpaste to brush the pearl surface can make it to be as bright as a new one. However, it is not an ideal way to do so. The toothpaste contains a high micro-hardness abrasive particulate matter, which is particularly small but hard (almost as hard as the crystal). That's to say, the method of cleaning jewelry by toothpaste will damage the surface which hardness is lower than the crystal, such as the surface of pearl, gold and K gold. The correct cleaning solution of pearls should be use the neutral-active agent (such as baby shampoo). I had made a detailed introduction about it in previous article How to Recover Pearl's Nature Gloss.

The Correct Diameter Measure of Pearls

As the popular saying goes, those pearls with a diameter less that 7mm are just beads, while those with more than 8mm are the right precious treasures. 7mm to 9mm pearls are the most popular ones, it is hard to abtain 10mm-pearl, not to mention those South Sea pearl and the Black pearl with a 11mm diameter.


It is hard and unscientific to define a pearl's diameter just by our eyes. The precise figuure should be measured by a professional measure tool -- Disc Vernier caliper. Measure three times and write down the average maximum diameter and the average minimum diameter.


There are different ways to show the diameter of the different pearls. Use the minimum diameter for those perfectly round, round and off-round pearls, and both maximum and minimum diameter for other shape pearls, like oval, drop and baroque pearls. E.g. A round pearl's diameter is 6.0mm, and a oval pearl's is 6.0 - 7.5mm.
