How to choose a grade A pearl?
2010-07-30 08:19:39
As the queen of gemstone, pearl is versatile and classic. Pearl is always a worthwhile investment that can both soften formal suits and add more elegance to dresses. Like other precious gemstone, pearls are divided into several grades, with grade “A” in the best quality. Here are some instructions as to how to choose a grade “A” pearl.
First, you should learn how to distinguish real pearls from false ones. You may touch the pearl lightly with the biting edge of your front teeth, and real pearls feel slightly sandy rather than smooth. Another way is to examine and feel the pearl; those in flawless appearance and in lighter weight may not be real.
Second, choose a pearl shape. Since pearls are formed in distinctive pearl oysters that produce different kinds of excretion, pearls are in different shapes, including round pearl, coin pearl, drop pearl, oval pearl, and so on. Among all the shapes, the perfect round pearls are the most expensive.
Third, consider the pearl size. While round pearl is measured by its diameter, pearls in other shapes are measured by its shortest width. The larger the pearl, the dearer it is.
Fourth, inspect the pearl luster. Quality pearl should have a shiny surface and reflect the light well. It is also the best expression of a pearl’s beauty.
Fifth, check the pearl colors. Pearls are in different colors including white pearl, yellow pearl, black pearl, and so on. But it can be either natural pearl or dyed pearl; the natural colors are better and more expensive.
Now that pearl jewelry is a classic, collectible jewelry that will accompany you for long time, you had better pay special attention to the choosing process.
