Rare mussels, cultured from this black saucer mussel, have varying degrees of gray, with
There are different phantom colors, which makes pearls even more unique. In addition, the breeding environment and the requirements of the pearl fishing process are very strict. For every one hundred black disc clams that are cultured, only fifty can be successfully cultured.
Only five of the pearls are flawless, so each pearl is extremely precious.
According to legend, Oro, the god of peace and fertility, came to the mortal realm on a rainbow and dedicated the pearl oyster teufi to mankind. There are also legends that Oro gave the pearl from the oyster to the beautiful princess Borabora as a symbol of his love for the princess. There is also another
According to legend, the coral spirit Okana and the sand god Uaro clothed the teufi pearl oyster in a brocade robe, making it shine with the colors of thousands of fish in the Polynian waters.
It is also said that the nectar of the moon falls into the world. When the nectar drips into the black butterfly oyster, under the nurturing of the ocean, it gathers the essence of the sun and the moon and transforms into the charming Tahitian black pearl. Therefore, most natural black pearls are dripping water.
Shape. The heirloom pearls collected by European royal families also confirm this.
In the last century, it and countless other oysters were harvested in large quantities in the salt lakes of Tuamotu and Gambia, two of the five archipelagos in French Polynia, to feed the European button industry.
When naked shellfishers were fishing for pearls in waters nearly thirty meters deep and often infested with sharks, they would accidentally find extremely precious natural black pearls. But this kind of discovery is very rare: only every 15,000 oysters are opened.
A natural pearl. Black pearls had a reputation of being rare and precious long before artificial cultivation.
Royal nobles from all over the world have always liked to wear jewelry inlaid with black pearls, which gave it the reputation of "Queen's Pearl" and "Queen of Pearls". The most famous of these natural black pearls is called Azra, which was worn by the Russian Czar.
The centerpiece of a necklace in royal jewelry. In ancient China, black pearls symbolized wisdom and were guarded between the dragon's teeth. Whoever wanted to get the black pearls had to conquer the dragon first.
In the early days when Tahitian black pearls entered the market, the response was not enthusiastic due to the fact that there were already white pearls on the market that were artificially dyed black or gray. However, as the American Jewelry Association officially recognized Tahitian cultured pearls as natural
color, and the International Association of Jewelry and Jewelry Alliances (cibjo) began to use the commercial name "Tahiti cultured pearls", its internationally known
Its reputation has been greatly enhanced. Between 1977 and 1994, French Polynia's pearl export volume soared from 6 kilograms to 2,815 kilograms. At the same time, the export value of its products increased from
US2,000 increased to US20.8 billion. Although the sales of Tahitian cultured pearls have grown unexpectedly, their production is less than one percent of global pearl production.
"The production of Tahitian black pearls is less than one percent of the global pearl production??" Cheng Zhen said in disbelief: "Ah, I don't think I will have the courage to wear this piece of jewelry in the future. Luo Tian, what do you mean?
These things are too burdensome for me.”
Luo Tian was stunned: "Your reaction is so different from that of ordinary women. Which woman gets such a precious black Tahitian pearl and still looks as sad as you?"
Cheng Zhen shook his head: "No, you don't know. I grew up with my mother, but because of her relationship, I didn't live a particularly comfortable life. Although my father took care of us privately, I still
I didn't live a life of wealth and wealth like my sister. It wasn't until I grew up that my father consciously asked me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, so I lived a wealthy life for a while.
But in this way, a lot of fun will be lost. Receiving a sports car and receiving a birthday song sung to me by someone I love are of equal value. So which one is more important, the sports car or the person I love? Gifts
It's very expensive, but aunt...oh, mom's thoughts are more important. She spent so much thought on me, and I accepted it. This is the most important thing."
"Okay, I understand." Luo Tian said, "Whether you wear it or not, my mother will be very happy."
Cheng Zhen stood up: "I'll put them away, or I'll wear them on an important occasion in the future." As soon as Cheng Zhen finished speaking, he immediately ran upstairs.
Luo Tian suddenly understood what Cheng Zhen meant. It turned out that the important occasion was... Luo Tian secretly made a wish in his heart that Cheng Zhen would wear this set of Tahitian black pearl jewelry one day early.
The cell phone rang untimely, interrupting Luo Tian who was immersed in happiness and yearning. When he saw that the caller was Ouyang Tian, Luo Tian touched his nose and then answered: "Dad."
"Where is she?" Ouyang Tian's voice was a little low and a little tired.
"Yes, you received a call from mom?" Luo Tian was very happy that they had a conversation.
Ouyang Tian's voice was a little crazy: "How can there be such a woman in the world? What's so good about that old guy? I just scolded that old guy, and she got angry with me. You said, this is just a prank."
!!”
"Dad!!" Luo Tian's voice increased a lot: "Can you please stop calling Old Jack and Old Maozi like that? We have to be dignified, right? Also, Dad, Mom is not angry because you scolded Old Jack. Please be careful.
Think about it, what’s the point of bastard? If you scold Old Jack, doesn’t it also mean you’re scolding Mom?”
There was no silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. Ouyang Tian seemed a little annoyed: "I'm really going to faint. How could I forget that bastard has such a meaning? This misunderstanding has become bigger. How dare I scold her? I
It's almost enough to treat her as an ancestor, Luo Tian, do you think I am unjust or not?"
"No injustice." Luo Tian said angrily: "No matter where you are now, come back quickly and don't worry about it outside. By the way, you find someone to imitate the Pisces jade pendant. That person is my master. Look at you.
How many people are involved in this mess?"
Ouyang Tian thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll do everything I can when I come back. It all depends on what she thinks. But that Master Lu is actually your master. What a coincidence.
His craftsmanship can be said to be the best in the country. It's a pity that he is retired now. Otherwise, his unique skills would impress many experts. Well, I won't tell you anymore. We'll see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Luo Tian pressed the phone, feeling helpless, but at this moment, the phone rang again.
