Pearls come in many different colors and sizes, and these variables help determine their value. The most expensive pearl ever sold was Marie Antoinette's pendant. It went for $32 million in a 2018 Sotheby's auction. Celebrities like Rihanna, Uma Thurman, and Cardi B all adorned themselves in pearls for last year's Met Gala.

It was weird to me when they said “the more round the better.” My grandma always told me that bumpy/more oval/imperfect pearls were worth more because they were natural and “one of a kind” since there would never be a pearl that ever looked like it. She said how you knew it wasn’t artificial because real oysters couldn’t make perfect pearls. Technically all real pearls are natural and that uncultured pearls that are perfectly round are possible, but the mindset never left me because whenever I buy pearls they have to be imperfect, otherwise they just look fake

Maybe because round pearls in nature are much more rarer and looks better to the eye that they are more expensive
@emilyblack7342
@emilyblack7342 3 года назад
As far as cultured pearls go (especially for Tahitian and freshwater pearls) the round pearls are far harder to produce. They’re considered more valuable because they’re rarer, and that perfectly spherical line of pearls is what a lot of people want. However, baroque pearls tend to have better luster and orient than round pearls. That meant that when colourful pearls catch the light, they show off the most beautiful rainbow of colors. I may prefer round pearls, but your grandma has good taste!

No, there is a job called Gemmology, and you have to get a degree to do it, as the Gemstone Jewellery business is big business, so knowing about the physical properties, grades, and how they can be processed to increase their quality is a mix of knowledge coming from geology, chemistry, engineering, marketing, and art and design. A niche discipline, but a necessary one because of the money concerned.

koko naoo I really want to deny you since I love pearl and I am not rich. But surely I have to admit pearl is just for jewelry (but they use pearl powder for beauty treatment too, at least). Actually, I used to love pearl because it is kind of mystery, long history and expensive, but when I had my first and only mikimoto pearl bracelet I was in love with pearl as itself (still don’t know why but it was so interesting, shiny, high quality as itself, so miracle in my eyes)

@phuongnguyen-yd3bn
@phuongnguyen-yd3bn 5 лет назад
JRRnotTolkien yes, I heard that 99% freshwater pearls come from china. It was easy to make freshwater pearl but make salt water pearl was still a big challenge, and mikimoto was the first pioneer to success in it (named it akoya pearl), to make salt water pearl became less expensive and quality. But still, the most expensive pearls are natural sea pearls like the south sea white pearl, the golden south sea pearl and black pearl. For fengshui, those sea salt pearls are good for us more, but of course, we need to be bored rich people who always want to keep our rich forever to demand such kind of high quality pearl.

If I remember correctly, the luster, after purchase and for more long-term usage, is also influenced by how much you wear it. Pearls shouldn't be tucked away in a jewellery box for months or years at a time, they grow duller that way. They actually maintain their luster when they rub against your own skin.

Pearls are symbolic of the beginnings of human culture, which is the beginning of human slavery, and the interference of groups like ‘the Illuminati’ and ‘the Freemasons’ traveling around the world with there treasure chest filled with books of holy scriptures from the original bloodline from ancient Egypt on how to manipulate and control(culture) the bodies of man into a moldable carbon copy shell to be used for commercial exploitation. Very much like an oyster. It all starts with TRAUMA! The oyster was the beginnings of MKULTRA trauma based mind control. Which has now been systematized into everyone citizen of a first world nation.

Maybe I'm crazy but I've always found mother of pearl inlay way more beautiful and intriguing than just straight up pearls. I find pearls rather boring and simple they're just a white milky sphere. And the one in the video, Marie Antoinette's pendant is even worse with it's weird shape. I get that the process of how they are formed makes them rare and unique, so obviously the value goes up but still I'll never understand why they're so desired. At least diamonds which have a similar reasoning can be beautiful sparkling masterpieces.

The south sea strand of pearls is listed for $32000 not sold for $32000. If it sold for 32k it would not be listed anymore on the website. Actual value of that is probably $3200, the rest is profit for the store to pay its bills anf taxes. About 32/33 pearls in the strand x $100 per pearl. + some extra for the gold and string used total value $3500. You pay $35000+ after taxes and shipping fees.
