Myth or reality about classic pink pearls

 The Pink Pearl is one of the rarest and most expensive pearls in the world. 

Have you ever heard of this wonder and did you know about it before? This natural gem still seems unknown to the general public despite its great value.

Furthermore, many jewelers are the object of their desire.

 Here is everything this little wonder hides under its precious shell.

The Classic Pink Pearl A wild gem

The Pink Pearl is produced by a mollusc from the West Indian seas called “Strombus gigas” also called “conch” or “conch”.

 This variety of pearls is exceptional, because to date, no method of growing conch pearls is known.

 According to specialists, only one shell in ten thousand will succeed in producing this pearl, and of this number, only 10% will have gem quality.

This is why as soon as a Conch Pearl hits the market, it immediately finds a buyer. 

Please note that this natural gem sells for up to 250,000 euros each.

The Pink Pearl is formed when a foreign body is introduced into the shell of the queen conch. 

The grain of sand or the small piece of shell is then imprisoned in a limestone concretion which will give rise to the famous gem.

 These magnificent pearls were already found in jewelry from the Victorian era and then they disappeared.

 In the 1970s and 80s, the diver, paleontologist and seabed archaeologist Sue Hendrickson rediscovered them.

Since then, pink pearls have found their place in the most famous jewelry stores. 

Today, the adventurer is considered the greatest collector of pink pearls.

A Classic Pink Pearls like no other

Although the Pink Pearl is formed in the same way as ordinary pearls, it does not have this pearly appearance because it is not made of mother-of-pearl. 

The pearl is designed by the conch in the form of a limestone concretion. 

Which gives it this typical iridescent appearance. The most beautiful specimens have a chatoyancy similar to sparkles. 

These flames result from calcium carbonate needles which reflect light in a different way.

The Pink Pearl is measured in carat and weighs heavier than a traditional pearl. 

It has a baroque or oval shape, because it is non-nucleated. 

The Conch Pearl can be brown, whitish, yellow or orange, however, pink remains the most popular.

Although the Pink Pearl is very durable, jewelers recommend only wearing this jewelry in the evening. 

It seems that it does not tolerate the sun well and that the Pearl tends to tarnish under the effect of ultraviolet rays.

CLASSIFICATION OF CLASSIC PINK PEARLS ACCORDING TO DIGUET

The distinction of snags :Seurat distinguishes the snags. These are irregularly shaped mother-of-pearl concretions that can reach the size of a pigeon’s egg. 

They are caused by irritation of the outer surface of the mantle. Due to the introduction of a foreign body between the internal face of the shell and the mantle, or caused by a perforating animal.

Sometimes the production of the snag has been determined by the presence of a fine pearl,so that by breaking a snag of little value one may be lucky enough to find a fine pearl.

Concerning free pearls, always and in the different pearling regions, their shape has given rise to a hierarchy in the valuation of gems and to a descriptive nomenclature.

According to Seurat, at the beginning of the 20th century on the western side of the island of Ceylon, pearls were classified as follows:

• Anie, pearls of perfect sphericity and shine.
• Anathoria, pearls having a slight imperfection in their sphericity and/or shine.
• Masengoe, pearls with slight imperfections in shape and luster.
• Kalippo, pearls of rather flat shape, also have other important defects.
• Korowell, double beads.
• Kural, very small and poorly shaped beads.
• Thool, seed pearls.
