Loved this so very much I am going around now and putting my pearls to my teeth. My dear late parents visited Japan in the 70's and visited the Mikimoto factory. I have a few pieces but there was one item a Silver 6 pearl broch and I put it to my teeth and immediately felt the grittiness . THANK YOU.

This is the first time I've heard it explained WHY pearls should be worn and how doing so will maintain their luster. It makes so much sense! When you said this, I immediately paused the video and ran to put my pearls on! They spend 99% of their time in their case, rarely worn. It's time to revive these babies! Thank you so much for such a clear, informative video! ❤

What I learned when I lived in Newport, Rhode Island, is in the late 1800s Mrs. Ogden Goelet is the woman who owned the building that is now The Tiffany Building. It was indeed a fair trade. Mrs. Goelet also built the magnificent French Style Ochre Court in Newport, Rhode Island. That is where I attended Salve Regina.-The Newport College.

I wonder if you discuss the process of Mikimoto pearls and Mallorca pearls and why are they so expensive. As I understand them, they are nothing but a glass bead covered in a man made nacre. I really enjoyed this video and my husband has gifted me a strand of Tahitian black pearls and a strand of South Sea golden pearls!

@catzkeet4860 Жыл бұрын

Using a man made nacre would result in faux pearls, not cultured pearls. In the mikimoto process the nucleus, a small glass bead, is surgically inserted into the mantle of the chosen bivalve. This is done under very strict hygiene conditions. The shellfish is then grown on. This process takes YEARS and there is no guarantee that the pearl in the end will be perfect. Each shellfish lays down its nacre it's own way, and colour can vary widely too. Once the pearls are harvested, they are graded for shape, size and colour, then those wanted for jewellery are fully or half drilled. This is a painstaking process. The reason that mikimoto cultured pearls are still fairly expensive is because producing them is a time and labour intensive process, that is never guaranteed.

I like the natural saltwater baroque antique pearls.🤗 They dont need to be round, just a nice shape. Where to go to get the best valuate and age of antique pearls ? Most experts dont know. Ps, Also when fit in jewellery, like from Fabergé they are multiplied in value.

What ever happened to those ancient Panamanian and Venezuelan pearls? Are any of them in notable collections today.

@Iswearitsnotanalt 16 күн бұрын

Interestingly, the baroque movement in the arts was actually named after a misshapen pearl and not the other way around-- great video though
