Key points of purchasing freshwater pearls
1. size
The size of pearls is mainly judged by measuring the diameter of round pearls, mainly in millimeters. Generally speaking, pearls secrete nacre from the mother shell and accumulate layer by layer. Only when the thickness of nacre reaches 3 mm can they grow into gem-grade pearls. In this way, combined with the growth time of the mother shell, it often takes 3-5 years or even longer for a pearl to grow to more than 8 mm. It can be seen that the bigger the pearl, the higher the rarity, but the size of the pearl should be chosen according to your own needs.
Step 2 shape
Due to the different growth conditions of pearls, their shapes have their own characteristics, which can generally be divided into the following shape grades: A round, of course, there are also round, round and nearly round, preferably round. B ellipse, the length-diameter ratio is between 10%-20%, including drop shape, pear shape and long-short ellipse. C is flat, and it is a pearl with one or two near planes, which has symmetry. D-shaped pearls have different shapes, uneven surfaces and no symmetry.
Step 3: Gloss
Gloss is one of the important aspects to evaluate the quality of pearls. Grade A is particularly bright and sharp, with mirror-like skin and clear images. B-class bright, the physical image is evenly irradiated and the image is clear; C-level brightness can see the image of the object, but it is blurred; The surface of D-class diffuse reflection light is dim and there is almost no image.
Daily maintenance of freshwater pearls
1, pearls must be washed with wet flannel. When you wear pearl ornaments, you must maintain the pearl ornaments, so as to keep the pearl-like luster for a long time. The maintenance method is very simple. We only need to prepare a piece of flannel, wet it with pure water, and then wipe the pearl surface with softness.
2. Pearl jewelry must be stored separately. Some ladies who love beauty will put all their daily jewelry in the same jewelry box, but for the "delicate" pearl jewelry (the Mohs hardness of the pearl is only 3), this storage method will undoubtedly make other jewelry scratch the surface of the pearl, so it is best to store the pearl jewelry separately in a velvet box, so that its pearl skin can be properly protected and kept smooth.
3. pearls must be allowed to breathe air. When storing precious pearl jewelry, many people will choose to put it in a velvet box and then store it in a bank safe. Although this ensures the safety of pearl jewelry, it will suffocate. Pearls need to breathe air, so even if we put them in the safe, we should take them out and wear them once a quarter to let them breathe fresh air, otherwise pearls will become yellow-faced women in the safe.
