Why are conch beads so expensive?
Only one conch bead can be found in every 50,000 conchs, and the conch beads found rarely reach the quality of jewelry, with an annual output of only 600-900. Moreover, because Taihō snails can only grow naturally and cannot be cultivated artificially, it is difficult to catch them, which makes them become the new favorite of the royal family and the fashion world. It's better than high-quality diamonds.

1, the output is scarce.

Relevant data show that only about 50,000 conch beads can be used, and only 20%-30% of only 2,000-3,000 conch beads found every year can be used for jewelry processing. In other words, only about 600 conch beads can be made into bright jewelry every year in the world.

2. It can't be cultivated and imitated artificially.

Conch beads have a unique identity flame pattern, which is difficult to copy. At the same time, so far, there is no successful artificial cultivation of conch beads. Nature endows conch shell with unique shape and structure, and the spiral modeling of golden section ratio is too complicated to implement artificial nuclear transplantation. Moreover, this kind of conch is as sensitive as a sentimental girl, and it is almost impossible to get conch beads without hurting the life of conch. Therefore, the existence of conch beads is entirely natural, not man-made.

3. Strict control

Because the conch that breeds conch beads is not only the maker of beautiful treasures, but also a rare delicacy. Nowadays, large-scale hunting has led many conch-producing countries to formulate strict control schemes, either completely banned or strictly restricted. This is also one of the reasons why conch beads are valuable and have no market.
