The third wave of China's Pearl

Currently, China is in the fact that one might call the third wave of Pearl. From the sparkling in 1990, China surprised the market with products that revolution. Forms, brightness and color of the new Chinese production often match original Biwa quality and sometimes even exceeds, at least the new orange and pearl fishing is unique. China's success as proof of their freshwater pearls round enough and good enough to pass the Japanese Akoya. China already sells round white pearls up to 7 mm for possibly the tenth the price of Japanese sea cultured pearls.

Bleaching, dyeing, polishing is usually done. In addition to the old practice of sun bleaching in the Persian Gulf of natural almost never been addressed. Chinese pearls, nearly white or mottled are usually bleached, so it is white and uniform. What methods developed by the Japanese, Chinese, use diluted bleach, bright fluorescent light and heat. They polish surfaces tumbling pearls in pumice or similar substances. The idea, as always, is to promote the aspects of matching pearls. Many Chinese pearls used in the 1980's bright red, blue, lavender, yellow or even black. In response to modern tastes, they offer a good selection of natural colors.

The Chinese have also begun to crystallize some of their freshwater mussel shell nucleus implants in both organizations, and the creatures in their coat. This practice, which is perceived as a "culture techniques of salt water, are the new cultural revolution. How to respond to customers who have told me, freshwater pearls, mother of all the products have been?" Will they buy Chinese pearls if roundest examples are nacre-coated glass beads instead? As these new products will be positioned in the market? anyone, including gem testing laboratories will be able to differentiate between the fabric and beads emerging freshwater pearls without a nucleus?

These important new ideas. More disturbing is the second innovation. The Chinese fetus mussels with their own tissue freshwater pearls, pearl-round lead all or nearly round. Aspiring to a higher percentage of turns, the Chinese even to reject the restructuring areas of freshwater pearls, the embryo mussels with them.

Together these two innovations amazing event onset. Once again, the Chinese have radically changed the culture of fresh water, so the distinction between marine and freshwater methods. They also introduced a new type of culture, without origin balls underlying tissue. Some of the new Chinese pearls are all nacre, some seed pearl-set, and not all are marked. After a natural experimenter used small off the set of nuclei, he sent the resulting freshwater pearls gemstones lab and received a report of it as "Naturals". If farmers can grow Pearl this test, as natural, perhaps, the market for wild ride.
