CTA5-zeMBA261 Product Number Pearls are generally formed by inserting a nucleus, which is the base of the pearl, into a shell, and covering it with a pearl layer of about 0.2mm to 0.4mm. These are freshwater pearls, and because they are cultured without a pearl nucleus, they are entirely composed of pearl layers. Freshwater Pearl (Cultured) Necklace Size: Approximately 8mm to 9mm It takes 5 to 7 years in the mother shell to reach this size. Through the long years, the pearls have gained a deep luster and shine that seems to draw you in. Only 2-3 pearls are selected from 1,000 beads. Necklace length is 41-42cm. Choker 40cm (43cm including the clasp) The color, luster, and size of the beads are checked one by one before being assembled. The higher the quality, the higher the price. I hope you will pay attention to the four elements regarding the value of pearls: Size (the larger, the more valuable) Shape (the closer to round, the more valuable) Flaws (the fewer flaws, the more valuable) Luster (the stronger the luster, the more valuable) The key to pearl care is actually just one thing: "Wipe it with a soft, clean cloth after use." That's all. If human sweat remains on the pearl, the weak acidity will destroy the pearl layer. Therefore, wipe off the sweat after use. After normal use, wipe the entire surface quickly. When you feel you've sweated a little, wipe each pearl carefully as if massaging it. Suitable for: Weddings and receptions at first-class hotels Official banquets and seated celebratory parties Funerals, from the third anniversary (generally from the seventh anniversary) and sudden mourning; it is safer to avoid overly flashy items. Entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and reunions, where they are worn relatively frequently.
