plus in white, cream, black, pink and other, they fit any personal color preferences, clothing and styles. The color come because of different types of mussels and the denser and thicker the so called nacre is (that's the substance the oyster encloses the impurity which entered the mussel) the better the color. The colors also are influenced by the environment and the location of the impurity inserted.
South Sea pearls colors depend on the oyster mantle tissue,
the species is the Pinctada maxima mollusk of two different varieties, silver lip and the gold lip. Silver lip creates white, rose and shiny silver pearls while the gold lip creates gold colors and some other shades of the same spectrum. Gold pearls are very rare and because of this fetch high prices, Myanmar is a major producer of the gold version and they can be spotted at many pearl shops at the Bogyoke-Market.htm" class ="txt3">Bogyoke Market in Yangon.
Black pearls production started in Tahiti long time ago
the creator is the Pinctada margaritifer mollusk, also called black lip oyster, the mantle of this species is almost black, that causes the black color. Actually the mantle is a main factor which color finally is produced plus the color of the imputiry inserted.
As with any object where people can make money with manipulation comes up.
There are people who dye the pearls, heat them and do other things with it. It's the same with jade and other precious stones all kind of manipulations are made to cheat the buyer to fetch higher process, but naturally the seller never tells about the manipulations. The result is a pretty piece of jewelry for about two to three years and after it turns not so pretty anymore, a genuine stays beautiful all time.
