Pearl jewelry worn or stored for more than several decades may turn dark yellow. For pearls whose yellowing is limited to the surface layer, they can be slightly soaked in 1%-5% dilute hydrochloric acid or hydrogen peroxide. After the yellow shell is dissolved, take out the pearl quickly, wash it with clear water and dry it, and the pearl will regain its luster.

Introduction and more information of seawater pearls;

1. China's seawater pearls are produced in the Beibu Gulf and the southeast coast. In history, Hepu Pearl in Guangxi was taken as the representative, and the title was "Hepu Pearl is called Nanzhu, and the one who went to Europe was Zhu Xi, and the one who went to the East was Dongzhu". Internationally, it has always been believed that "the West Pearl is not as good as the East Pearl, and the East Pearl is not as good as the South Pearl". Seawater pearls are generally round in shape and are the most ideal pearls. In ancient China, it was called "walking beads", that is, you can roll freely with a little movement on the disk. Hepu Nanzhu has good roundness, bright lines and can walk freely on the disk. The probability that seawater beads are round is higher than that of freshwater beads, which is determined by their concentric ring structure.

2. The beauty and elegance of seawater pearls are largely attributed to their luster. High-quality seawater beads are translucent, giving people a soft and hazy beauty. They have bright light blue, white, yellow and pink fluorescence under short-wave ultraviolet, and yellow-white and green phosphorescence under X-ray. The colors of seawater beads are mostly white and light yellow, and their body colors are red, blue, purple, brown and black. The diameter is 3 ~ 5 mm, accounting for about 65%. Anything over 8 mm in diameter is a rare treasure. The price of excellent seawater beads with good quality is judged by grams, and its value far exceeds that of gold.
