That’s why any seafood festival should have a moneylender or something. If someone slurps down a raw oyster, someone should be right there to take the Pearl off their hands for some up-front cash.

Baroque pearls. Delish!

Those are called baroque pearls

Interesting. Maybe I will start using some of my more iregular shaped pearls in my designs then. I'm seeing comments everywhere here that people prefer the Baroque pearls. Nearly all of mine are. But I usually pick out the smoothest ones to use.

Id say practice with low grade pearls. The thing I'm concerned about is the outer layer being shaven. Is that lacquer or natural oils that give pearls their luster? I bought my neice one of the cheaper pearl necklaces under $100.

@@ericolens3 Yeah, definitely I would try on a low grade pearl first. I always thought that the shine was from an unblemished outer layer of nacre. And that it couldn't be fixed in any way. But theoretically that nacre goes all the way to the nucleus. So theoretically I could polish a scratched or misshapened pearl the same way I polish metal. Though my equipment is different than theirs.

Dont support this cruel practise. How would you like to be poked and prodding at, purposely hurt to produce a pearl, then go through it again each time.

Culturing involves surgically opening each oyster shell and inserting an irritant in the oyster. Freshwater pearls are cultured by inserting another oyster’s mantle tissue. Saltwater pearls have beads and another oyster’s mollusk tissue inserted. Fewer than half of the oysters may survive this process. Cultivators further stress the oysters by suspending them in water in a cage, washing their shells, moving them around in different waters, and raising and lowering their cages to subject them to changing water temperatures. After the pearls are extracted from the oysters, one-third of oysters are “recycled” and put through the culturing process again. The others are killed and discarded

Lower quality pearls you can pearl back the nacre layers to expose nacre with better luster

Lack of support I guess, they probably don't know how to produce these nuclei and no one studying it yet.

Japan is the origin of the oyster farming for pearls. So I guess the owner wants it to be as high quality as it gets.

I also like "wonkier" pearls.

@@cyantn1634 actually the vast majority of pearls including these are not natural, because they contain a fake core. for the cheapest freshwater pearls, I think they use plastic balls that only get a millimeter or two of nacre coating, and in this case they use mussel shells, which are a similar material to oyster pearls, but still fake filler material and made round and big to give the pearls a big headstart in growing big and round. until a few hundred years ago, all pearls were natural, grown around randomly implanted grains of sand or shell. natural pearls only occur in a small percentage of oysters, fewer per oyster, they take a lot longer to reach the same size because their original core is very small, and they are much less likely to be round due to the lack of a round core as a starting point and the lack of manual turning of the oyster. nowadays, pearls are checked I think with x-rays to show wether they are made of concentric layers of nacre all the way to the center and thus natural, in which case they are far more expensive due to their rarity. plastic cores are certainly easy to identify, whereas these mussel shell cores may be an attempt to fool testing equipment with a similar density to oyster nacre. though I think there probably are ways to identify the lack of concentric layering. but at least the weight of the pearl will be convincing, as opposed to pearls with plastic cores.

@@CRneu no

they become food

It is mentioned that naturally occurring pearls are heavily deformed. So they fetch a lower price. After 3 harvests, the oyster usually dies.

Nuclei are often sourced from shells of sacrificed mussels, so they can cut the nuclei to certain specifications (obviously limited by thickness of shell from sacrificed mussel). It's a pretty wasteful, but quick and relatively consistent process

Yes, climate change, hot temperature makes the water acidic due to release of ions so the shells not just from mollusk but also other sea species like corals have thinner calcium framework.

@@whitepouch0904 You know, now that you you state this, I have noticed that the seashells that I have found on the beach close to a high traffic water area are thin, smaller, not too colorful, and easily breakable.

Well, either these farmed oysters die in this farm or their wild brethren will get hunted to extinction just for the wild pearl.

The color of a pearl is dependent on the shell inside the oyster (mother of pearl). It has a spectrum of colors where some of them will be on the pearl. So a black pearl will likely come from a species of oyster with many dark hues on the mother of pearl. For example black lipped oyster
