Why is there a small pit on the Pearl normal? How to deal with a small pit on the Pearl

For some perfectionists, it may be difficult to accept that some friends buy Pearls with small pits. They think that pearls should be round and smooth. Is it true that pearls with small pits?

It is normal for pearls to have small pits.

As the saying goes: 'flawless Pearl' natural pearls are very precious because they have no defects. In a macro sense, pearls are flawless, but in a micro sense, precious pearls are flawed. In terms of physical structure, the morphology of pearl is reflected by the accumulation of calcium carbonate crystal and shell keratin on the pearl surface. In the ideal state, its surface should be smooth and clean, but in fact, due to the complex and changeable external environment and the different health degree of mussel (shell), the pearl surface often deviates from the ideal state and has some defects.

The reason why there are small pits on pearls

If the temperature and ion concentration in the water change little, the crystal growth is stable, the structure is clear, and the surface of the pearl is relatively smooth. On the contrary, the crystal is prone to mutation and defects. We know from our common sense that water quality, water temperature and ion concentration are unlikely to be absolutely consistent, so the ideal state is difficult to exist, and the idealized requirements for defects should not be absolute.

There are various microorganisms growing. Mother of Pearl shellfish may also be affected by some bacteria in the growth process of several years. At the same time, the nuclear insertion technology may also affect the formation of pearls and their cortex. Therefore, there are few pearls that are truly smooth and flawless.

Therefore, flawless pearls become very expensive. Most cultured pearls are more or less covered with some 'blisters',' waistlines', 'wrinkles',' pits' and other defects. This is also the theoretical basis of the old saying that "flawless does not become a pearl".

Is there a small hole in the Pearl false

We can't arbitrarily say that it's a fake. We can only say that the quality of pearls is a little poor. After all, each shell is different, and many mother shellfish can only secrete one pearl in their life. It has different quality and has various shapes, but the most typical ones are round and pear shapes with various colors. Some pits on the pearls you said are obviously not fake, If it is synthetic, it must be round and shiny. It can only be said that what you buy is true, but the quality may be a little poor.

How to choose pearls

1. Fine round is the most beautiful

The shape of pearls is also very important. Generally speaking, fine and round pearls are recognized as the most beautiful pearls and are desired by all. At the same time, water drop pearls are also very rare and attractive. The pursuit of fine round pearls does not mean that other shapes do not have their unique charm and value. For example, baroque pearls are popular because of their unique shape and size and random characteristics. At today's auction, the price of some special-shaped pearls is often higher than that of spherical pearls. Nanyang beads have different shapes, including round, semi-circular, circular, oval, Baroque, water drop and other shapes, each of which is unique. Therefore, when buying and collecting, you can choose according to your personal preferences.

2. Perfect and flawless

Pearl surface quality includes defects and finish. Pearl defects refer to the internal and external defects that lead to the unsmooth and unsightly surface of pearls. The finish refers to the total degree of Pearl defects. Common defects on pearl surface include waist line, bulge (papule, tail), depression (flat head), wrinkles (groove), damage, notch, spot (black spot), needle clip, scratch, peeling mark, crack and Pearl scar. Because they are naturally formed, many pearls have more or less defects. The less defects, the smoother the bead surface, which is the most precious.
