How to Choose a Pearl Necklace

From time immemorial in the countries of the East pearl necklaces were considered sacred, and in the western states - ideally created and refined natural creation. There are no things that would be more beautiful and refined than small beads of mother-of-pearl shades, which are strung on a string. However, for jewelry to evoke positive emotions, it is necessary to select them correctly.
There are no specific rules for the certification of pearly peas, because it is impossible to find identical in form pearls. Certification applies only to artificial pearls.
Often, when making a choice, buyers pay attention to the exterior, the price and only then - the quality. And the latter should pay attention first. You should know that real necklaces of pearls can be purchased only in the jewelry salon or from the manufacturer, but not at the marketplace. In the salon, upon request, a certificate will be issued for the product. To distinguish fake pearl necklaces from the original ones is not so difficult, it is enough to scratch the pearl with a needle (although it is unlikely that the seller will allow it): if a trace of a different color is observed, then the purchase should be abandoned - artificial pearls.
Natural pearls exist in several types: cultivated (in marine or river plantations) and natural.
It is natural - the most valuable and expensive, it is never sold in ordinary salons. These pearly pea are very rare, because they are grown without human participation - a grain of sand penetrates into the mollusc and fades layer by layer with mother-of-pearl.
More often you can find pearl necklaces and other ornaments from cultured pearls. Such a product should not be considered artificial, because pearls also ripen in the same molluscs. Only the latter are grown on special farms under the supervision of specialists.
Cultured pearls have many shades (about 120 kinds), both natural color, and tinted. However, artificial coloring only enhances the quality of raw materials (pearls). A variety of colors gives the opportunity to look for different shades to the type of skin of the future hostess, and the time of year: cold shades - for the winter period, warm - for the summer. When choosing pearls, it is necessary to examine them against a light background in order to assess the saturation of the color.
