I could agree when it comes to fashion, but when it comes to things like pearls, the scarcity of good pearls cannot be manufactured. The nuclei used in making pearls has to be perfectly spherical cause any imperfections will show up very clearly on the finished pearl, moreover, as explained they farm these oysters in open water. It's hard work and they deserve every dollar they get. I've met a few of these fishermen in Indonesia. Tough, hardworking guys that hang the nests in the ocean and usually a lady or two to insert the nuclei. Personally I don't like the one featured here as it lacks any iridescence like some of the other ones. The nuclei have gotten bigger as the smaller they are the more their imperfections are magnified for a given diameter pearl. However, this also means that pearls are getting bigger for a much lower price.

Gold was often found out in the open. Platinum and other PGMs are rarer and much harder to refine, but the price doesn’t reflect that.
@user-sc5gr8zr3q11 ай бұрын
@@Menuki Well I didn’t think I’d be this guy, but i’ve seen similar remarks floating around and i feel as though it is incumbent upon me to comment. Anyone who has a better understanding of the subject, feel free to chime in. Here goes. First, gold doesn’t oxidize. Since it doesn’t form oxides, it remains pure when you have it laying around. When oxides form, rust develops and flakes away. So if you leave copper, tin, and gold bars lying around, eventually the copper and tin bars will lose their weight as rust forms and flakes off. If you’re using it as a currency, you’d want it to remain relatively stable and uniform. Next, gold is more rare than copper. In terms of all of the gold and copper on earth, by roughly two orders of magnitude. This is a consequence of copper having a lower atomic weight. Generally, the higher the atomic weight of an element, the rarer it is. This follows from the following. Most hydrogen and helium was formed from the primordial soup of subatomic particles following the big bang. Heavier elements are formed during stellar nucleosynthesis. The heavier the element is, the more energy is required to form it. Intuitively (and as a direct consequence of entropy) regions of higher energy are rarer than regions of lower energy. So heavier = rarer (this isn’t 100 percent correct, there are exceptions because nucleosynthetic theory is slightly more complicated than that. Has to do with stability during synthesis) I didn’t mention diamonds (???), and i’m aware of their artificial scarcity. While lead could be used as a means of currency (disregarding toxicity) because of its similar atomic weight (and hence rarity) to gold, it is difficult to extract lead in its pure form (relative to gold, in ancestral times this discrepancy in difficulty was obviously augmented due to technological bottlenecking). Gold occurs commonly in its natural elemental (pure) state. Even without any tools to empirically test the purity of substances, it is readily apparent to any miner of gold and lead that lead is almost always mixed in with other substances while gold is not. If you look into it, lead is rarely found in its pure form. It’s mostly found in ores, this is not the case with gold. The key take away here is that pure gold can be harvested fairly readily using primitive means of extraction and no purification is required. If you’re going to base a currency off an element and have no way of testing purity, logically you’d choose a substance that occurs more readily in its pure form in nature. Otherwise, the whole integrity of the currency is called into question because of discrepancies in purity from one bar of copper to the next (or whatever standardized form of it you choose to create, coins of certain dimensions etc). The quantity of copper that is mined is about 3 orders of magnitude greater than that of gold. If you considered just naturally occurring pure copper, not in ores or sulfur compounds etc, then based on the lower bound of estimates of the occurrence of native copper in nature (difficult to determine an exact figure but between .01% to 1%), at best pure copper would be about 10 times more rare than gold. My math could be off, feel free to correct me. But, after smelting was discovered, all that became irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if naturally pure mineable elemental copper is rarer than naturally pure mineable elemental gold. This is a logical conclusion from the following considerations. Even in the modern day purification of copper is a fairly arduous and expensive process compared to extracting gold yes, but this discrepancy in cost of extraction between the two elements (and hence the additional value attributed to copper based upon the costs of producing it) is nowhere near great enough to make it more valuable than gold. The discrepancy in atomic weight (and hence rarity and implied value) is too great for this contribution to be appreciable. There’s simply far more matter than contains copper than there is matter that contains gold, and the prevalence of pure forms in nature is fairly inconsequential if purification techniques are available. The smelting you mentioned for copper and tin that is required to isolate their pure forms demonstrates that immediately following their extraction, they are usually impure. Other than measuring the density of the substance (after archimedes) there was no reliable methods to determine the purity of a substance. How can you reliably use a substance as a form of global currency if it’s not fungible? The difficulty of purifying tin and copper from extracted matter has nothing to do with their scarcity. It’d be trivial for any advanced society to have an army of forced laborers smelting away. If you isolated all the pure copper, tin, and gold from all matter on earth, there’d be far less gold. As a coarse analogy, it took more work to build a cathedral than it did to paint the mona lisa. But cathedrals aren’t more rare. They just require more effort. Also, gold has some novel qualities which can be used in a pinch to determine authenticity (malleability). Ofc this is only relevant prior to the modern era. I recommend two google searches. “How much gold is there in the entire earth” and “How much copper is there in the entire earth”. The prevalence of copper compared to gold remains the same even if you only consider readily mineable sources of the elements, or even just global stockpiles of the respective elements. Again, it follows from the above that prevalence of pure forms is irrelevant. Yes, platinum is rarer than gold, and sure it could be used as a global currency in theory. Why it’s not used a currency backer or why it’s less expensive in financial markets is a more complicated question than the copper vs gold debate. Much of the world’s platinum is concentrated in certain regions. From my perspective, it wouldn’t be in the interest of world leaders to adopt a form of global currency that might not even be readily available on their own continent. Gold’s found on every continent. Platinum is mostly from south africa. There’s a ton of elements that are more rare than gold. However gold has that sweet spot of being just rare enough to have strong scarcity based value, but not so rare that it loses liquidity in a global marketplace. Yes, the value of gold is indeed augmented by subjective perceptions of aesthetics and historical value, but to say it has no value other than being pretty is a big reach. Throughout the above, I may use the terms currency and currency backer interchangeably. Obviously they’re different. Should be clear from context which i’m referring to. I’ve just regained my virginity for this comment, i hope you appreciate my sacrifice.

@@user-sc5gr8zr3q cool explanation, you just flaunted your vocabulary to say it’s shiny. You didn’t at all touch on what value it had in preindustrial civilization beyond it doesn’t oxidize.

Because a prevailing culture valued it, other cultures adopted the same concept to get what they wanted. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Persia, medieval, renaissance….what was it used for??? You’re only reinforcing my point that scarcity, real or imagined, dictates the price. Why isn’t platinum more expensive, especially since it’s so important to saving the planet.

When I was 7 years old living in CA, a lady dived for $5.00 to get a pearl for me. I gave the Pearl to my grandmother, who's name was also Pearl. She died back in 2006. What I didn't know is that I am now 55 and this past August 17th 2023 my mother died. I was left some stuff and one thing is she had the pearl I gave my grandmother all those years ago. I got it back over 45 years later. Its a blue pearl, more valuable to me than anything.

We value things of the earth because that's all we have. Concrete is just mixed up minerals that we make our buildings out of, even plastic in factories is essentially the same as a bee making a hive and honey. We contort it and change it but it's all earth, and in the early 1900s we didn't even have complex variations usually just straight up wood or refined metal. So they valued exotic stones and such. Nothing you and I value is any less of the earth, it's all animal byproducts because we are animals. Humans just being animals. Artificial and natural has us very confused on what we are and the fact that anything we've made so far has been limited to and only.made up.of the elements of earth. You can refine and heat up and blend together and cause chemical reactions to something all you want but it's still just like a bee pushing out honey from flowers.

The oyster itself will sustain life for you. Instead sellers value the pearl within that doesn’t. People really want to be sold something. But they won’t buy into God who’s absolutely free. Wisdom comes with age. During our youth, we haven’t a clue as to what’s really valuable. It’s all associated with material wealth and perceived value. I’m older now and have lived in the light of life for quite some time now. I’m vibrant and healthy and set free from the illusion of SELF. My quest and thirst of me me me was quenched a long time ago. My friends and associates still dye their hair and adorn themselves in the faux realities of a proposed/supposed happy life though a visual material existence.

Good quality pearls have always been valuable. Especially when they were not cultured. It is easier to produce same exact pearls when you are artificially germinating them, however when high quality pearls of same color and shape are found by collectors and somehow land in the hands of a jeweler in a large number that they can be assembled into a necklace or other jewelry, then you have something fit for a queen.
