As one of humankind’s oldest gems, pearls have inspired many theories about their formation:
To the ancient Romans, they were the frozen tears of oysters or the gods.
The Greeks attributed pearls to lightning strikes at sea.
To the Arabs and Indians, pearls jewelry were solidified rain or dew drops, captured by the clams.
In scientific terms, a pearl is produced when a foreign material enters an oyster and the latter in a gesture of self-defence secretes an organic substance which coats over the foreign body. This substance is called nacre or mother of pearl. The resulting pearl may take years to develop. The only difference between actual and cultured pearls is that the foreign body accidentally gets into the pearl oyster in actual pearls and is implanted by man in oysters in cultures ones.
Until early in the twentieth century, most of the world’s marine pearls came from the Indian Ocean, specifically the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mannar and India. These regions dominated the international pearl trade for more than forty centuries, yielding the famous pearls belonging to Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Marco Polo. Now, in the realm of cultured pearls, China and Japan dominate.
Pearl set in Jewelry is expensive and exquisite. Pearls in Pearl jewelry are examined for their value and are considered valuable according to factors like luster, color, size, lack of surface flaw and symmetry. The luster of the pearl in pearl jewelry decides the worth of the pearls. Perfectly round pearls that are large sized are expensive than the smaller ones. Pearl pendants are made of teardrop-shaped pearls. Pearls with thicker nacre and freshwater pearls without a mother of pearl nucleus are less susceptible to wear than pearls with thin nacre. Essentially, the thickness of the nacre protects the pearl for a longer period of time.
As to Gem Grade – A completely round and imperfection-free pearl with magnificent luster.
AAA Grade – A pearl that is flawless on 90% or more of its exterior and has very high luster. Only 10% of the surface may exhibit minor flaws in concentrated areas. Only a single deep imperfection is allowed on a pearl. Once the pearl is either set or strung, it should be clean or mostly clean.
AA+ Grade – A pearl that is flawless on 80% or more of its exterior and has high to very high luster. Only 20% of the pearl’s surface may show minor flaws in concentrated areas. Only one or two deep imperfections are allowed. Once the pearl is either set or strung, it should be just about clean.

Pearls are very soft and need special care. They never should be tossed on top of or next to other gems in a jewelry box. Store them in a jewelry pouch.
Some women’s skin is more acidic than others. If a pearl necklace is regularly worn, as it should be, some of the pearls will constantly be in close contact with the woman’s skin on her neck at the shoulder line. Pearl pendant do not always have such constant contact with a woman’s skin. The pearls in the necklace will gradually absorb acid from the skin and the acid will slowly eat into the spherical pearl. Over time, the pearl will not only lose its luster but will become barrel-shaped. You can slow this process by wiping the pearls with a soft cloth after wearing them.
Except being soft, pearls are easily damaged by chemicals like perfume, vinegar, and lemon juice. Heat can turn pearls brown, dry them out and make them crack. Dry air can also damage pearls. Most safe deposit vaults have very dry air and can damage pearls.
When taking off a pearl ring, grasp the shank, or metal part, rather than the pearl. This will prevent the pearl from loosening and coming into contact with skin oils on your hand, because of their delicate nature, special care must be taken when cleaning.
The best way to clean pearls is to soak them in warm water and a mild detergent such as Ivory soap. The best way to distinguish between a natural or cultured pearl and an imitation pearl without sending them to a GIA Lab for X-ray is to use the “tooth test”. Rub a pearl on the edge of your teeth. If it feels smooth , the pearl is probably imitation. If the pearl feels rough or gritty, it is probably natural or cultured.
Keep hairspray, cosmetics etc. away from pearl jewelry. A good rule is to put your pearls on last and take them off first. Whenever you wear your necklace, check to see if the silk the pearls are strung on is stretching and if the knots between the pearls are becoming dirty. If either of these things happens, it’s time to restring.
It will have a jewelry professional verify that the pearls on your jewelry are securely mounted or that the string is still good in about every six months.

4, 000 years ago, a Chinese discovered the first pearl in oysters. The inner of an oyster’ shell is covered with a smooth shiny coating which is called mother-of-pearl. When oyster is opening its shell for eating in the sea-bed, an irritant, such as a grain of sand, goes in suddenly, the oyster immediately takes action by closing its shell, then the sand or irritant gets caught inside the oyster’s shell. To protect the body, oyster coats the irritant with its secrets layers of mother-of-pearl. Finally, the coated grain of sand becomes a pearl.
The substance of pearl and oyster is the same. Its shape is changeable, but generally can be divided into two types: regular shape and irregular shape. The regular shape consists of round, semi-circular, bun-shape, oval, long circle shape, clavate, flat circular, pear shape and so on. The shape of irregulars is determined by its core, the pearl with core is changed with the shape of core, in none core pearls, in except of those describable shapes, the rest all belong to irregular shape. The hardness of pearl is 3.5-4.5, which is higher than copper’s 3 and similar to iron’s 4. The specific gravity is about 2.70; quality pearl is much bigger in 2.65-2.68, while the poor one is smaller. The index of pearl elasticity is determined by its inner Keratin content in the shell. When a pearl free fall on the glass from a 70cm height, normally it can bounce to 37cm height, the quality one can jump even more higher.
To judge a pearl’s quality, color and luster should be the most important symbol. The color and luster is produced by the reflected light from the pearl’s outer and inner; in addition, it is also related with the body color which is in the pearl’s color and metal element. According to the spectrometry, the pearls in golden yellow and cream color contains more copper and silver; pink and flesh color with more sodium and zinc; white and pink with more manganese. Therefore, the color and luster of pearl can be divided into white series, pink series, yellow series and blue series. A round pearl’s color and luster is created from spherical surface, it is different from the category, status and background of light source, and changes with the observation angle.
Thus, the color and chemical element in water is closed connected with the species and amount of plankton, different water and depth of pearl can produce different quality and color pearls, with the growing of oyster, the older the oyster is, the deeper color the pearl will be. If the shell of oyster is yellow, then the pearl it produces is mainly in yellow series.
