What are the characteristics of Tahitian pearls ?

Luster

Luster is widely considered the most important factor in judging pearl quality. It is the term used to describe the reflectivity of a pearl's surface. The higher the luster of the pearl, the more sparkle it will reflect light and objects more clearly. For a pearl to have a deep mirror-like reflection, it must have a very smooth surface formed of many uniform nacre layers.

Coating

The second most important indicator of a pearl's value is the thickness of the coating. Pearls are made up of layer after layer of a substance called nacre - calcium carbonate and protein. The thicker the nacre, the more durable and valuable the pearl.

Shape

Pearls come in eight basic shapes: round, semi-round, button, drop, pear, oval, baroque, and circled. Perfectly round pearls are the rarest and most valuable shape.

Tahitian pearl size

Black pearls range in size from 8mm to 16mm. In some cases, black pearls can reach non-standard diameters (18mm to 21mm).

The Value of Tahitian Pearls

The value of Tahitian pearls depends on several criteria such as colour, size, number of blemishes, luster brightness and thickness of mother-of-pearl. Black pearls with no blemishes on the surface are more expensive than those with blemishes. Black pearls are divided into 5 grades, and the higher the grade, the harder it is to obtain and the higher the value.

Pearl color

Pearls come in a wide variety of natural colors. Basic colors include cream, white, gray, green and pink. A pearls color does not affect its value or quality grade as much as other factors. The most important aspects of a pearls color, in relation to judging its quality, are the saturation and even distribution of its color. While color demand is primarily based on personal preference, rare and intense fancy colors are often sold at a premium.

Pearl care

In fact, with a little care, the brilliance and beauty of truly fine pearls can be preserved for a lifetime. Naturally formed with a calcium-based mineral layer; pearls are susceptible to acidic and alkaline chemicals. Therefore, never use strong soap or detergent solutions to clean pearls.

1. While keeping it properly, prevent direct contact between pearls and other hard gemstones.

2. After each wearing, gently wipe the pearls with a soft cloth. Occasional cleaning with warm water and a little alcohol or a very thin soap solution is recommended, and the pearls should be dried with a soft cloth.

3. To prevent perfumes and cosmetics from harmful effects on pearls. It's a good idea to wait at least 30 minutes after wearing your perfume or makeup before putting on your pearls.
