Why Pearls Are So Expensive

Why Pearls Are So Expensive | So Expensive

День тому

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.

@tortillawhisperer5811 4 роки тому

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

@barryb.benson7122 4 роки тому

@Jaywin228 4 роки тому

Maybe because round pearls in nature are much more rarer and looks better to the eye that they are more expensive

@emilyblack7342 3 роки тому

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.

@blackdogslivesmatter1568 5 років тому

Exactly.

@phuongnguyen-yd3bn 5 років тому

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)

@liiillllliiilllliilllliii9461 5 років тому

That's what makes all things expensive supply demand

@phuongnguyen-yd3bn 5 років тому

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.

Can you take a pearl from one type of oyster, and put it into another, and grow layers of different colors, from different oysters?

I actually visited a black Tahitian pearl farm four years ago and it was a really cool experience, we got some cheep one pearl necklaces, my dad still wears his pearl charm on his necklace every day and my sister wears her jewelry set every once in a while (read like at least twice a week, it has a pretty purple shine to it). It really was a wonderful experience, and I recommend going to french polynesia is you ever have the chance.

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. Including you and me!

Cmac 99% pearl in the world market now came from China. So maybe they have some offer for bad quality pearl. I got a pearl in a very ugly shape but about 20 mm in a Chinatown shop for $20. That pearl weight lighter than one mikimoto akoya pearl at 6-7mm. The high quality has standard itself.

The best way to clean pearls is to let them soak in a bowl full of vinegar overnight! jk it will dissolve them.

Rich people plays the money game to wine while the poor people plays the money game not to lose. The goal of a true rich people is to have massive wealth and the poor sees surplus as an opportunity for consumption instead of investing it Change your mindset and do what the rich does, which is investing a motivational speaker ones told me this.

The Dead Gachatuber exactly! The oyster is only a mirror to our own human existence. Just like all of nature. A symbol for the elite masters to posses and war-ship as a guide on how to maintain power and control over there subjects. Like an ancient form of black magic/sorcery or voodoo the precious metals contain the trauma of the soul of the victim which is a super natural link to the victims children through cosmic energy, those children are US!

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.
