Pearl: Part 1 This is dark and a stormy night ... No, it is not. This is a beautiful sunny day ... not. May be troublesome ... On a rainy day when heavy rain does not rain the sky roars and people close in the hut. already! . So now, I seem to have recovered my memory for a while, and I will talk to you about the horrible season of the Oyster meeting. What is unknown about oyster society?

The pearl oyster of pearl oysters - oysters of pearls - living in the ocean, and another - a group of very different bivalves - living in freshwater, these are mussels like freshwater pearl mussels. Seawater pearls can grow on some ocean pearl oysters in the Pteriidae family. Freshwater pearls grow on some (but not all) freshwater mussels of the Unionida, Unionidae and Margaritiferidae family. The unique gloss of the pearl depends on the reflection, refraction and diffraction of the light from the translucent layer. The thinner the pearl layer, the shinier. The rainbow color of pearls is caused by the overlapping of successive layers destroying the light striking the surface. In addition, pearls (especially cultured freshwater pearls) can be dyed in yellow, green, blue, brown, pink, purple or black. The best pearl has a metallic mirror-like luster

The pearl creates a strong and deep shine called gloss. This effect occurs when multilayered calcium carbonate ultramicrocrystals constituting pearls reflect light. This material is called the nacreous layer. When choosing a pearl, you can think that the larger the pearl is, the more pearls, so it will also show a shinier finish. Comparing the 5 mm freshwater cultured pearl with the 10 mm Nankai cultured pearl, the difference in the number of pearls is clear. The difference in gloss is as clear as the difference in pearl size

Mollusks produce pearls, so the nacre layer does not always smoothly adhere. Spots and bubbles may appear in the stratification process. Pearls with the smoothest surface are the highest quality, the most popular pearls. Blue Nile offers various prices and offers various surface quality pearls. Parents can last a lifetime if you look after them properly. The best way to care for pearls is to wear frequently so that the body's natural oil makes the pearl shiny. However, it is important to keep it away from household chemicals such as perfumes, cosmetics and hair gel. The chemicals contained in these common products can darken the gloss of the pearl. When you are ready, we recommend putting the pearls last and using them as the first thing to do after returning home. Please wipe it with a soft cloth before placing the pearl and keep it separate from other jewelry so as not to damage the soft surface.
