In the modern world, pearls are favorite collection of ladies and gentlemen in the upper level. The fascination round pearls attract numerous admirers in social gatherings, as well as interests aroused by their shapes and colors. Pearls are organic gems, created when an oyster covers a foreign object with beautiful layers of nacre. Having cultivated by different types of oysters, they can be classified as follows:
Freshwater PearlsPearls cultivated in mussels which can find in fresh water lakes and rivers, originated in rivers of Eastern China at Yangtze River. Freshwater pearls generally are elongated in shape and have a milky translucent appearance. Their wide range of interesting shapes and colors make up in fashion appeal for their relatively low value than the other types of pearls, making them quite popular. Freshwater pearls are also quite durable, resisting chipping, wear, and degeneration.
South Sea PearlsPearls are cultivated by white-lipped oyster (Pinctada Maxima) and found in the area extending from Philippines and Indonesia down to Australia and across to French Polynesia. South Sea pearls also have a subtle array of colors, typically white, silver, and golden, which are rare in other pearl types. They range in size from 9 mm to as large as 20 mm and command premium prices because of their relative rarity and large size...
Tahitian PearlsPearls cultivated by the black-lipped oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) in the islands of French Polynesia. Tahitian pearls are black and the natural dark color makes these pearls very unique and valuable. Truly black pearls are extremely rare, and of the colored overtones, the peacock-green variety is the most valuable. They range in size from about 9 mm to over 16 mm.
Akoya PearlsThey are the classic cultured pearls of Japan. The akoya oyster is the smallest pearl-producing oyster, so Akoya pearls also tend to be small, ranging in size from about 2 to 11 mm.
