The first thing Luo Tian was interested in was the box of pearls. The company naturally had pearl jewelry for a long time, but its share was not large. Now after discussing with Lao Luo, the store to be opened will specialize in Qibao jewelry to attract young customers.
The first one to bear the brunt is the pearl.
Pearl is an ancient organic gemstone, which is produced in the bodies of pearl oysters and nacreous molluscs. It is produced due to endocrine effects. According to geological and archaeological research, it has been found on the earth 200 million years ago.
Pearl. The international gem industry also lists pearls as a lucky stone for those born in June, and as a commemorative stone for the thirteenth and thirtieth wedding anniversaries. Pearls with magnificent colors and elegant temperament symbolize health, purity, wealth and happiness, and have been used since ancient times.
Be loved by people.
Generally, the pearl jewelry seen in the market are round, but not all pearls are naturally round. According to the shape, there are round beads, oval beads, flat beads, Mabee beads and special-shaped beads. The first three are
Both species can clearly understand it literally, while the average person may not know much about Mabiju.
This kind of bead is a kind of half-sided pearl, also called mabe beads, steamed bun beads and semi-round beads, also called mabe beads. Generally, after collecting the cultured pearls, the prefabricated half-shaped bead core is inserted into the inner wall of the shell.
With the convex side facing the mantle of the mother-of-pearl, the flat side
The surface is close to the shell wall of nacre. After inserting it, it is put into water and fed. Over time, the nacre layer wraps the outer bead core layer by layer to form a semicircle. When collecting, it is extracted together with part of the nacre shell wall.
It was polished and polished into a piece of jewelry, so it was huge in size.
Mabee beads are essentially a kind of regenerated pearl. Before this, each pearl oyster can produce two round pearls first, and then 3-7 Mabee beads can be cultured. Especially the output and quality of Australian Mabee beads are excellent.
Very high, characterized by large particles, excellent luster, pure silvery white color and smooth surface. The smallest ones also have
10mm, and the large ones can be 17mm or larger, and come in various shapes such as round, drop-shaped, oval and heart-shaped. At present, Mabe bead jewelry is very popular in the world jewelry market, not only as a decorative pet for ladies and noble ladies.
, and the unique and elegant jewelry created with Mabe beads are also particularly favored by gentlemen.
Special-shaped pearls are, in addition to the previous several shapes of pearls, pearls with pear-shaped, drop-shaped, rice-shaped, potato-shaped, bean-shaped and other shapes are commercially referred to as heterosexual pearls.
We often say that a certain woman is pearly and precious, and we can see from the "jewelry and preciousness" that there is no less. Pearls with less luster will naturally lose their aura.
Luo Tian took out a pearl from the box, and then took out a piece of soft cloth from the drawer of his desk. He placed the pearl flat on the white soft cloth. This pearl overflowed with a warm luster. Luo Tian nodded slightly.
He took his head in his hand again, raised it, and looked at the light. This
At this time, the morning sunlight just broke in through the window. Through this ray of sunlight, Luo Tian saw a colorful rainbow. This was a good omen. If he looked closely, he saw that the surface of the sphere also had a metallic texture. Standing next to Luo Tian
Lao Luo behind him even saw Luo Tian's pupils on the pearly surface.
Lao Luo couldn't help but admired: "This is a grade A pearl!!"
"That's right, the reflected light is very bright, like a mirror. Lao Luo, you just saw that my eyes were very clear on the pearl, right?" Luo Tian smiled and put the pearl down: "It is indeed an A-level luster.
"
Gloss is an important criterion for testing the quality of pearls. The better the gloss, the higher the quality of the pearl. It is generally divided into four grades from A to D, from high to low.
Class A reflected light is particularly bright, sharp, and uniform, with a surface like a mirror, and the image is very clear; Class B reflected light is bright, sharp, uniform, and the image is very clear; Class C reflected light is bright, and the image of an object can be seen on the surface; Class D reflected light
Weaker, objects can be seen on the surface, but the image is blurry.
Luo Tian roughly inspected the samples inside. Most of them were A-grade gloss, and some were B-group gloss. The overall quality was very high, but all the pearls were full-grained and perfectly round. Although the pearls had special shapes and ovals,
In the market, round shaped beads are the most popular. This is the fixed state of the market. Even Luo Tian, who dares to take risks, does not dare to try it easily.
One cent is worth one cent, and the rounder the pearls, the more beautiful they are, and most of these sample pearls are 8 mm pearls. The so-called "seven percent pearls, eight percent treasures", generally pearls below 6 mm are not classified as jewelry-grade pearls.
In the range of pearls, 7-9 mm are generally loved by consumers. Pearls of 10 mm are already rare. Only South Sea pearls and black pearls are available above 11 mm. The higher the number, the rarer the quantity, and the price often doubles.
increase.
The light is large and round, with good gloss. It also depends on whether there are any flaws on the surface. The fewer acne, spots, marks, pits, and spots on the surface, the better. Generally, no flaws can be seen from 0.5 meters away, which is an acceptable standard. Grade A
The standard is that the surface is 100% smooth, and no flaws can be seen with the naked eye. Of course, if it is difficult to see flaws with a magnifying glass, it is the best of the best.
"This box is all white pearls." Luo Tian discovered the last problem: "The quality is good, but the types are too single. Apart from white pearls, black, pink and gold are also very popular in the market now."
"I have also told this supplier about this. They said that this batch of white pearls is high-quality. They just let us see samples. They can also provide pearls of other colors." Lao Luo said with a smile: "How about it?
boss?"
"The one who can make you stay must have passed your level. What I saw is naturally a high-quality product." Luo Tian said helplessly: "He is indeed an expert with many years of jewelry experience."
"When I was in Taihua, I was responsible for the market development of pearl jewelry, so I know a lot about pearls. Among all the cultured seawater pearls, only 10%-15% can be used for jewelry, and the other 30%
About % can be used as craft jewelry, and the remaining 50% or more can only be used as cosmetics and medicine."
Lao Luo saw the look of surprise on Luo Tian's face, and became even more proud: "Among the 1,000 Tongzhu, which is the collective name for all the pearls just picked up, the ones that were finally selected to make pearl necklaces were: first-class, about
2 pieces; second-grade, about 8 pieces; third-grade, about 15 pieces. Each kilogram of pearls can string about 22 pearl necklaces; each
The standard length of a necklace is about 41cm. Among the 1,000 pearls, those with a diameter of more than 7mm, fine roundness, brilliant luster, softness, and flawless perfection, or AAA pearls, are rare, sometimes even less than 10.
; And those that are slightly inferior, even AAB-level ones, will not exceed 30-50."
Luo Tian clapped his hands: "Sure enough, experience is experience, and this cannot be replaced by newcomers."
Lao Luo immediately suppressed his pride. This was a big taboo in front of the boss. He couldn't show that he was smarter in front of the boss. This was one of the keys to being a subordinate.
