The essential difference between seawater cultured pearls and freshwater cultured pearls lies in the different surgical methods. The culture of seawater pearls is called “nucleation”, which means that a round bead nucleus that has been processed in a shell is inserted into the mother-of-pearl. The operation of cultivating pale pearls is called “insertion”, which is to cut off the mantle of the mother-of-pearl (actually a piece of flesh) and insert it into another mother-of-pearl. After the operation, the pearl component secreted by the pearl oyster wraps the “nucleus” or “sheets” to form a pearl. It is also for this reason that seawater pearls are large and round, and their value is also high; freshwater pearls are rare.
Both Japan and China are the most important countries in the production of cultured pearls. Japan almost monopolizes the production of seawater pearls, while the domestically produced freshwater pearls account for more than 90% of global production.
What is Caixia half pearl?
