Common Types of Pearl Flaws

Luster is one of the dominate factors in judging a good pearl. Different from the harsh diamonds, pearl is eye-catching with soft shine. The value and beauty of pearls depend, of course, on a number of factors. The degree of finish can be a decisive factor. The so-called finish degree simply means the defect size and distribution.

The common pearl flaws we can see are as follows:

Bump and Welt
Irregular bumps are formed from excessive secretion of nacre. They do not affect the basic pearl shapes, but we can see them easily with our naked eyes.

Pinpoint and Pimple
Generally speaking, protruding dots, pinpoints and pimples are small on the pearl surface. They are not easy to be seen unless you observe carefully.

Dark spot
It is caused by the imbalance in the secretion of black skin. The dark spots often concentrate in one point and they can be washed away in the bleaching process.

Dull spot
The uneven secretion of nacre weakens the luster, but it does not affect the pearl durability. However, if the dull spot is formed by human body, cosmetics or hairspray, the nacre will be fade off and durability will be affected as well.

Clip
It is common to see clips in the part of drilled hole of the pearl surface, especially for the pearls with thin nacre. It not only affects the appearance, but also gathers dirt.

Crack
Small cracks look like wrinkles and large cracks are same as hairs. The cracks in the pearl nacre affect the durability in a severe way.

Memorable Thanksgiving Gift from shecypearljewelry

A number of Thanksgiving years run through my mind as I recall my youth, yet whenever I see a Christmas card with a sleigh on the cover, it brings back a vivid picture of that day with my grandparents and loved ones. l always be grateful that God allowed Grandma to share that last Thanksgiving with us and for the memory of the family sleigh ride, with the bells ringing and the horses that took us through a glistening white blanket of snow.
Thanksgiving Day is also the 45th wedding anniversary of Grandma and Grandpa. Years have gone with endless sweet and bitterness .Grandpa loves Grandma without uttering the three words I love you. However, I know that they love each other more deeply than the couples who did.
My grandfather had been in good spirits and happy to have his family around. It was fun to talk with him, because he had so much history to share about his olden days. But after the food had been prepared, and the turkey was roasting in the oven, Grandpa gathered us all around and said he had a surprise. We knew most every inch of the old house, and could not imagine what the surprise could be, or if something was hidden! But soon we heard the sound of bells. Grandpa told us to get our warm coats, hats and mittens on and everyone was to gather on the front porch.
Grandma would bring in dishes of sweet, sweet, sticky candy, or a great bowl of grapes or peaches, and would converse gravely about happenings on the farm, and, more rarely, of the outer world.
She never embraced us. She would greet us and take out hot little hands in her own beautiful cool one, with blue veins standing out on the back of it, as though the white skin were almost too delicate to contain them.
• When we ask Grandma to tell about the love story, there was a curious little smile pursing her mouth. She took a dedicated box from cabinet with a pair of callous hands. Then, she slowly opens the red –wrapped box. These pearls have a beautiful luster to exhibit an iridescent shimmer of colors. Grandma continues this is the first gift that Grandpa gave her. Its brand is shecy. I was delight to help Grandma put on this necklace. Grandma looks younger as her maiden. Pearl definitely makes female looks more elegant. Some one (I can not remember who she is accurately) once said that every woman should hold at least one pearl necklace. She said that a pearl necklace is symbol of status. Yes, to our female, most of the time a pearl necklace is not only symbol of status ,but a symbol of woman ,a symbol of mother.

Pearl in Emerson's Poetry

This high atmosphere of precious supremacy and reverence, which surrounds the gem now as it has for more than twenty centuries, is a legacy of Rome. The east loved pearls as beautiful and precious trinkets; while Rome gave to them imperial honors and drew around them the mystic circle of patrician favor. And since that day, in every land where an aristo¬cracy existed or came into existence, pearls have been the familiars of the exclusive.

This natural fitness of the gem for refined associations is recognized by Emerson in his Friendship，He says:

Thou foolish Hafiz! Say! Do churls know the worth of Oman's pearls? Give the gem which dims the moon to the noblest, or to none.

It is a late echo of the scriptural saying, "Cast not your pearls before swine." No modern poet shows more knowledge of the nature, or a more just appreciation of the delicate beauty of the gem than Emerson. In his "May Day," speaking of the tardiness of the spring, he writes: "Slow grows the palm, too slow the pearl."

Evidently he knew of the slow process by which the successive coats of filmy nacre increase the size of the growing gem. Likewise a couplet in "Nature " betrays the poet's obser¬vation of the iridescent nature of the colors in mother-of-pearl, and in the gem occasionally when those fleeting tints are added to the beauty of its luster; the lines are a dainty illustration:

Illusions like the tints of pearl, Or changing colors of the sky.

The Luster of the Pearl

In all countries where woman has been enthroned in the respect as well as the affections of man, the pearl has been inseparably connected with her. The pearl as a peculiarly fitting accompaniment to feminine loveliness is deeply rooted.

In the romantic dreams of youth, which hide betimes the harsh realism of life under a golden haze of imagery; where belted knights and fair ladies live and move unfettered, and all the impossible delights of sweet desire free from untoward consequences are reasonable; where invincible swords have no thought of the horrors of carnage, and unimpeded love is without cold calculation or following of sorrow, pearls everywhere shimmer. And when in his exalted moods man paints the shadow picture of the goddess of his life, he finds one gem alone befitting with which to deck her, namely, the pearl. This has come to pass probably because the ideal qualities of woman and the sea gem are alike, purity and modesty. The beauty of the most lustrous pearl is unobtrusive and its quality is virginal. In our visions of the spectral past, the shades of the consorts of the mighty all wear them.

Pearls hang pendent from the ears of Egypt's voluptuous queens, and Rome's proud matrons. Pearls clasp the dainty flesh of Moslem hour is and rest in the soft folds of draperies that cling about those daughters of the Orient, the com¬mon mortals of their day might not look upon. Great pearls hang festooned and pendent round the necks of lightly draped Diana of the warm south lands, and coiled about the brown arms of the daughters of the chiefs in far-off islands of the South Seas.

Upon reclining figures in the ancient palaces of Persia and Arab tents: wherever the proud women of the conquering Occident move in

stately measure across the high terraces of noble placement: in all dreams of fair women and brave men, are swords and pearls. And this is so because in all the ages, women of high position have loved pearls and writers have told it. In our old world so far, neither earth nor sea has yielded ought to else so fit to lie in the bosom of woman, or to symbolize her character and beauty, as the chaste and dainty pearl.

Pearls in Myths

Pearls have long been attributed with having great powers, and have been incorporated into the mythology of virtually every culture that has encountered them. And no wonder! Given natural pearls' rarity, as well as their mysterious beauty, who could argue that pearls might not indeed be a gift from the gods?

Islamic tradition holds pearls in high regard and the Koran speaks of pearls as one of the great rewards found in Paradise, and the gem itself has become a symbol of perfection.

Christianity also adopted the pearl as a symbol of purity. Many of these ideas have come down to us in pearl lore and legend, and persist even today. For example, pearls are often associated with brides and weddings -- a concept possibly dating all the way back to Krishna and the wedding of his daughter. Pearls are also said to symbolize tears, to provide love and fertility, to symbolize purity, and to ward off evil.

In addition -- and perhaps deriving from their mythological significance -- pearls have often been attributed medicinal qualities and used to treat a wide variety of physical ailments.
