Pearl

Pearls are primarily categorized into two major types: freshwater and saltwater. Pearls exhibit a wide spectrum of colors, including white, red, yellow, dark, and mixed hues, and they are mostly opaque. Saltwater pearls generally possess higher density, along with stronger and more lasting luster, compared to freshwater pearls. Based on cultivation methods, pearls can also be classified as nucleated and non-nucleated. Approximately 80% of the world’s freshwater pearls originate from China.
