CULTURED
PEARLS
CULTURED PEARLS
Other than the naturally grow pearls, we also farm pearls ourselves. In order to cultivate the best pearls, we have a lengthy time cycle for pearl cultivation and nurturing. From the seeding to cultivation to harvesting process, it generally takes 4-6 years or even longer. Among the harvested pearls, only 5% possess the roundness, luster, and surface quality required for high-end pearls. We do not compromise on quality and refrain from selling pearls with poor luster to consumers.
SEEDING PERIOD
The seeding period generally takes around 2.5-3 years. When the oyster matures and grows to a certain extent, the implantation procedure can begin. This involves implanting a small piece of mantle tissue or a nucleus into the oyster to stimulate the secretion of nacre and form a pearl. During this time, the oyster needs a certain amount of time to adapt and rest.
CULTIVATION PERIOD
The cultivation period generally takes around 1.5-3 years. For example, in the case of Akoya pearls produced by Pinctada martensii, they can secrete an average of 3 to 5 layers per day, with each secretion covering a thickness of only 0.3 micrometers. This means that the daily thickness of secretion is approximately 0.9-1.5 micrometers. Over the course of a year (365 days), approximately 1000 layers can grow. The thickness of the pearl layer is only about 0.3-0.4 mm, so it takes 3 years to grow to a thickness of 1 millimeter.

- Luster and Brilliance: Good pearls should have a bright luster and vibrant colors. They should reflect light and produce a bright sheen when illuminated.
- Surface Quality: Good pearls should have a smooth surface without obvious flaws or uneven areas. However, the natural pearl has unique growth patterns.
- Roundness and Shape: High-quality pearls are typically perfectly round or near-round, while lower-quality pearls may have irregular or flat shapes. Please note that this quality grading is closely related to its price range, the higher the price, the better the quality.
- Size and Color: The size and color of pearls are also important factors in judging their quality. Larger pearls and rare colors generally have higher value.
