The Beautiful Luster and Color

A iridescent pearl is produced from a pearl oyster. The luster of the real pearl is unique and depended on the reflection, refraction and diffraction of light on the translucent layers of the pearl. If the layer of the pearl is thick and numerous, the luster will be better. When the light falls on the surface of the layers, it fans out and displays the iridescent color.

The demand of the pearl is increasing, many jewelers begin to produce the fake or imitated pearls to sell. Those imitated pearl are widely sold at very low price with poor luster. While the real pearl has its own physical property. The luster is a basic feature of it. So the fake pearls are easily distinguished from those true pearls. The luster of the fake pearl is not iridescent enough.

The color of the pearl is also quite different. It is often the white or cream, but the color will be various according to the nacre of the different mollusks. So the pear can be black, white, cream, light pink or other color with light pastel shades.

In addition, pearls can be dyed to yellow, green, brown, pink, purple, blue or black. It is a common usage on the freshwater pearls. The colorful cultured freshwater pearl is very popular now. Someone can not identify the freshwater pearls from the salt water pearls. Though the freshwater pearls seems quite similar to the saltwater pearls, they come from quite different place.

The freshwater mussels live in the lakes, rivers or other fresh water. They can live in different climates. The freshwater pearls are just produced in the freshwater mussels. Of course, most freshwater pearls are from China today because China has the natural condition to culture them.

The difference between the natural pearls and cultured pearls is the process of the pearls. One is by nature, another is by human aid. The cultured pearls are also made in various colors. The cultured pearls in black are as high quality as the tahitian pearls. As they are rare and never greatly produced in culture farms, the black cultured pearls are also very expensive. However, the production of the black cultured pearls are still more than the south sea pearls, which are more valuable.
