Black pearls are nacreous spherical concretions formed in black butterfly shells (also known as black lip shells). The output of black pearls is very low, only tens of kilograms are produced in the world every year. The main producing area of black pearls is Tahiti (also known as Tahiti, under the jurisdiction of Germany) in the South Pacific. In addition, a small amount of production is also produced in places such as Cook Island in Australia. There is a new black pearl farm in Guangxi, China, which had been produced in small batches in 1996. At that time, a 35g necklace made up of 66 black pearls with a diameter of 6-7mm was priced at RMB 6,000, which was much lower than the international market.
The chemical composition of black pearl is: calcium carbonate 93%, organic matter 5%, water and others 2%; density 2.65~2.75g/cm3; refractive index 1.532~1.685; hardness 2.5~4.5; good toughness. The naturally formed black pearl color is a dark series consisting of black, black gray, black blue, blue green and darker colors. The most valuable are pure black and blue-black with strong pearl luster.
Due to the large size of the black pearl oyster, the cultivation time of black pearls is long, and only one nucleus is implanted in each black oyster, the black pearl bead layer bred is thicker and the particles are also larger, generally 10-12mm; The largest can reach 20mm. This extra-large black pearl is expensive, selling for more than thousands of dollars each in the international jewelry market.
How to classify artificial pearls?
Artificial pearls, also known as “imitation beads”, can be divided into the following three categories:
(1) Wax-filled glass imitation beads, namely hollow round milky white glass beads filled with paraffin wax.
(2) Solid glass imitation beads, that is, white solid glass beads are soaked in “real pearl semen”.
(3) Plastic inlay imitation beads, that is, the white plastic beads are coated with a thin layer of “real pearl semen”.
A black pearl is inlaid in jewelry. Since it is luxurious and refined, it is a hot choice for the upper class.
