International Pearl Exposition and Auction has recently been held in Guangzhou, China. Merchants and bidders, both at home and abroad, were deeply impressed by the rare and valuable pearl jewelry from all over the world. However, it’s hard to find the well-known domestic Zhejiang freshwater pearls among the glittering jewels.

With the fame as the “No. 1 global bidding”, International Pearl Exposition and Auction is held two or three times every year. This year, we had the honor to hold the exposition and auction in Guangzhou. It should have been a very good opportunity for the local sellers to display their pearls without traveling abroad. Nevertheless, some 40 local buyers came just to bid with those of the same trade.

“Most of the displayed pearls are from oversea producer.” Said Mark Wu from (Topearl Jewlery Inc. http://www.topearl.com/), “China leads the world in production of saltwater akoya pearls, freshwater pearls also account for 90 percent of the world’s output. But we had very few qualified entries.” This is nothing new but a reflection of the current situation of the international pearl market. Since medium and low grade pearls are in the majority in China, we only hold 10 percent of trading volume in the world’s pearl market. Each year, China mainly exported low-valued un-finished pearl beads and strands, not high added-value pearl jewelry such as pearl necklace, bracelet and pearl earrings etc. The absence of Zhejiang Pearls simply reflected our embarrassment among the general Chinese pearl industry.

The key to choosing cultured pearls is being able to recognize high quality pearls when you see them. While evaluating the quality of cultured pearls is similar in many respects to evaluating the quality of diamonds, it is far more important with cultured pearls.  Diamonds, as you frequently hear, “Last Forever”. Pearls however, do not. This is because all pearls are relatively “soft” and they will start to show wear with time. The quality of the cultured pearl has a direct bearing on how long that cultured pearl will retain its luster and beauty. The nacre of a cultured pearl is the source of that cultured pearl’s luster and beauty and it is easily worn off if it is thin. The reason that the luster and beauty of a low quality cultured pearl will not last as long as with a high quality cultured pearl is because the low quality cultured pearl has thin nacre. There are seven basic quality factors that are considered in grading pearls. These factors include Nacre Quality and Thickness, Luster, Color, Size, Surface Complexion, Shape and Matching.

Pearl Quality

 Nacre Quality and Thickness
The primary factor in pearl quality is nacre thickness. The thicker the nacre, the more intense the luster and iridescence, and the longer the cultured pearl will retain its beauty. Nacre thickness grades are:  

Luster
Luster is what gives the pearl an intense brightness or brilliancy that comes from the interior of the pearl. Luster is caused by the reflection of light through the layers of nacre.  High quality pearls will appear to have a luminous ball inside the pearl. This luminous ball is an optical illusion caused by contrast between illuminated and shaded parts of the pearl.

Color
Pearl color is composed of both body color and overtone. The most desirable pearl colors will vary depending on the type of pearl and the culture of the buyer. The body colors available in cultured pearls have a wide range and include white, black, gray, cream, yellow, brown, green, gold, pink and blue.

These are some of the rarest, most valuable pearls available and range from 9mm to 20mm in size making them the largest pearls available.  Much larger than the average pearl, the smoothness and roundness of these pearls are exceptional. These are the rarest and extraordinary pearls you’ll find in jewelry.

The largest of the pearls, Pinctata Maxima, is a good name for the largest of the oysters that are used to culture pearls. Because of the rarity and sensitivity of this type of oyster, cultivation of these pearls is much more difficult, making them more expensive.
This oyster can grow to 12 inches across the shell. That is really big compared to the akoya oyster which ranges in size of 3 inches to 5 inches. This large size oyster not only grows to be the biggest oyster; but, also grows the largest pearl. Generally speaking this oysters pearl sizes are marketed from the smallest of 9mm on up to about 20mm.
