Before the 20th century sea chipses divers searched for oysters on the ocean floors and river beds but pearl hunting was not a very effective method to harvesting pearls since not all natural oysters produce pearls. In fact, within about three tons they found only three or four individual oysters made perfect pearls.

This started to change when the process of culturing pearls was discovered and nowadays, almost all pearls used for jewelry are “doctored” by planting a tiny round piece into the oysters. Normally it takes three years after the pearls are developed to be ready for harvesting but sometimes it take up to six. This process was first developed by Kokichi Mikimoto in Japan, who got a patent for the process in 1896.

The nucleus or core is usually a polished bead made from mussel shell and along with a small scrap of mantle tissue from another oyster to serve as an irritant; it is implanted inside the oyster. Used shells which survive the subsequent surgery to remove the finished pearl are often implanted with a new, larger core and then returned to the water for another three years.

Cultured pearls from Japan are known as Akoya pearls they are grown up to 10 mm in diameter which are extremely rare and highly prized.

Japanese grower have been culturing pears since 1914.

In 1914 pearl farmers in Japan began culturing freshwater pearls using mussels native to Lake Biwa. This lake, the largest in Japan lies near the city of Kyoto. This process gained tremendous popularity so much so that the name “Biwa Pearls” became synonymous with freshwater pearls in general. Production thus increased rapidly reaching the time of peak in 1971, when Biwa pearl farmers produced six tons of them per year.

At this time pollution and excessive harvesting caused the virtual extinction of this animal. Japanese pearl farmers now culture a hybrid pearl mussel—a cross between the last remaining Biwa Pearl Mussels and a closely related species from other Chinese or Japanese lakes. In the 1990s Japanese pearl producers also invested in producing cultured pearls with freshwater mussels in the region of Shanghai, China, and in Fiji. Freshwater pearls are characterized by the reflection of rainbow colors in the luster pearls are organic gemstones similar to amber.

South Sea Pearls.

Extensive research managed to get this round spheere into various color such as purple, gold, silver, black, pink, rose and other.

A simple necklace with golden pearls.

Living creatures such as oysters produce "Golden South Sea Pearls". To form a bead starts when a particle penetrates a marine or freshwater oyster, this can happen naturally or by human manipulation.

Golden South Sea Pearls.

To isolate the intruder it is coated with layers of nacre which is mixture of minerals secreted by the oysters. The sphere is growing and finally forms a round object with different colors. Nacre produces the hue because the thickness of the calcium carbonate layer which is similar to the wavelength of light and varies.

You can get this beautiful gold pearls and much more here.

Novelty Jewelry with Mother of Pearl.

South Sea Pearls.

The most popular bigger spheres are known as “South Sea Pearls” they come in various colors such as gold, silver, black, white, rose, and pink. These little balls are absolute natural and genuine since the job to form the round beauty is done by a organic process means they are also not an imitation.

The only difference is in the natural way the impurity comes into they oyster by a different methode but with the same result.They are some of the rarest gems to find in its natural form; in the past it needed “pearl divers” to bring the oyster up to daylight.

The other positive side is, this cultured approach gives some security to get real spheres because many other pearls are “baroque pearls” which are not round and therefore not attractive. These are organic gemstones, another version of such kind of stone is amber.

Pearl Jewelry includes rings pendants necklaces earrings and other creations. Very popular are items in combination with other gemstones, especially diamonds.

The sphere alone express just purity since they come in some colors such as white, gold, silver, pink and black there are some creative possibilities. Japanese cultured pearls such as from Mikimoto are well known and available as jewelry in great designs.

Actually people from the islands started with cultured products although today most come from China and freshwater balls also from India. Popular loose ones are "south sea pearls" and they come from Australia, Philippines, Myanmar and other places.

Why Pearl Divers?

Why no pearl divers around anymore? Today's growing and harvesting methods are cultured versions. Some pearl divers are still working in the Arab Gulf Area and other exotic places such as in the Myanmar (Burmese) part of the Andaman Sea.

Everything that is on the market is cultured spheres and frankly speaking they often look better anyway and are naturally grown. What is the difference between these two? Into the natural pearl the intruder which functions as the nucleus of the bead is somehow penetrating the oyster coincidentally and the organism tries to isolate it by forming the white substance around. The problem is that this intruder is rarely a perfect sphere which means that the final pearl is also not a good one.

Now people come into the picture, they take the oyster open it a bit and insert a small round particle where the round piece is growing this is a very slow process that can go over some years and needs a lot of expertise but it works. The most perfect spheres are made that way although still plenty of baroque (unregular) round pearls are grown they are sold under the name "baroque" and many people like them.

Baroque Pearls.

They come from the warm waters of the south sea that is a belt along the equator notably Australia Indonesia Myanmar Thailand and other places. The most spectacular object is grown around Tahiti. These is black pearls but today they grow these very dark ones in almost every "pearl farm".

Probably the most important in this process is to have the knowledge and expertise to handle this. It takes a long time and many attempts to handle the grow process of cultured pearls.

Actually it's finally worth it as it can be seen looking at the fascinating little sheresn in white gold silver, black / dark and pink colors they are finally sold.

There are almost no natural pearls anymore harvested from the sea-bed. Although there are a few pearl diver left off the Arab Peninsular and the Myeik Archipelago in Myanmar they are a total minority. Actually the way the man-made are grown is just the same as what is called "natural" only the impurity inserted into the oyster is a different one, read more.

This gem is for sure something special since it comes from a living organism. Somehow also unique there are some major players in the freshwater saltwater cultured and natural peal business out of this certain branding was done, especially by Japanese companies that managed to get Izumi and Akoya pearls worldwide recognition. They are very good in establishing brands and in the marketing of it afterward just think about all this electronic and camera giants and they also did it in the jewelry business.

Since the Chinese and Korean never sleep there is fierce competition. There are also Tahitian pearls, usually the black ones but they are very expensive, the thing is every time French people are involved prices often grow into unrealistic figures.

How come South Sea Pearls with Colors, they are some of the most famous in particular the bigger. All these is genuine and natural because the growing process is always the same, it won’t matter if they are freshwater, saltwater, cultured or whatever it’s still somehow natural not like it is in the diamond business and with other precious stones where they get the stuff from the lab.

A very valuable pearl species are Myanmar (Burma) "Gold Pearls" from the Myeik Archipelago. Usual sizes are from 10mm to 16mm. They look real marvelous as you can see at the picture here. This beads are quite rare and not often spotted outside the country. They also make artificial pearls by processing mother of pearl and some remains when making jewelry with an astonishing outcome.

South sea pearls are cultured versions.

South sea pearls are cultured pearls raised in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean in a controlled environment and they make beautiful jewelry indeed. These are great luxury usually on a string, several colors are available among them is the classic white, others are black, gold, silver and pink. Prices range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars for real high end products paired with other precious stones such as diamonds. Some come in gold settings others just on the string. They are sought after since long time, although before the pearl divers brought them to the surface and today it’ a controlled environment they are grown. This pretty spheres come with a perfect surface but also other of not a perfect form are available they are called “baroque pearls”. They are most popular for necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pendants.

At about 1930 divers discovered the pinctada maxima oyster at the north coast of Australia and other places such as in the Andaman Sea’s Myeik Archipelago where the business was already started before the 17th Century when the local “Sea Gypsies” found them in the sea bed and changed them for other goods with Chinese Traders who came to visit regularly long time ago.

This ended when the British conquered this part of the world and started to cheat the natives. They gave them alcohol and opium in exchange and made them addicts to get the balls for almost nothing. It was just the same as they stole the rubies and teak wood from Burma and gave almost nothing in return.

Since naturally grown South Sea Pearls are very rare some companies started to make cultured which actually are even better than the natural ones since they grow in a controlled environment and actually there is no real difference between the two. Growing experiments started by the end of the 19th century with not much success but in 1954 a Japanese company started to team up in a Joint Venture with a Myanmar (Burmese) government enterprise to give it a try again, that was in the Myeik Archipelago about 600 km north of Phuket Thailand. The problem was that the Japanese mentality was not compatible with ideological hardened communists who naturally have a different behavior. This cooperation went on and off over many years you not successful at all so they split but in the 198x the Burmese started again on their own and after some years produced reasonable products which are almost perfect today. Parallel to these similar operations in Australia, Indonesia, Philippines and elsewhere started. The Philippine South Sea Pearls from around Mindanao are also very pretty.

The pinctada maxima oyster.

The pinctada maxima oyster grows to a size of 30cm in diameter and that is much larger as the Akoya pearl. Currently sizes between 5mm and 15mm are usual sometimes even up to around 20mm. Average growth time is up to two years when the nacre gets it’s silky shine.

Most popular colors are gold, silver, white, light pink and ranges in between, in Myanmar (Burma) they also produce black and some variants.

About amazing mother of pearl creations it’s always an mystery how they handle this since the material is not easy to deal with, but after the manufacturing process the items look real good. Usually they make tableware and boxes from. Just watch the pictures from the shops here.
