The pearl<\/strong>. A gem with organic origins and a fascinating yet contrasting nature: at first it may seem a simple<\/strong> thing as far as beautiful it may be, but its own birth<\/strong> is a fascinating and almost miraculous event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since always considered the quintessence of simplicity<\/strong>, the pearl has fascinated men for ages, from the simple natives to the greatest emperors of history, and its market<\/strong> is nowadays constantly changing<\/strong>. For this reason the China Gold News<\/strong> has kindly asked me to be interviewed as pearl evaluator in Italy.<\/p>\n

\n

Despite the miraculous developement<\/strong> of this sector in the last 20 years<\/strong>, the gap<\/strong> is still big because of the drastic changes<\/strong> that happened is so little time; the Akoya<\/strong> pearls and the australian South Sea<\/strong> have always been the base of the pearl market<\/strong>, especially the first ones since their cultivation has firstly been developed from the heart and mind of Kokichi Mikimoto<\/strong>, the founder of the pearl cultivation itself.<\/p>\n

But in the middle ’90s<\/strong> freshwater pearls<\/strong> have challenged this leading position, forcing the already solid Akoya to give up a slice of market to this new breed of pearls grown in the south of China, becoming famous thanks to their captivating price<\/strong> and consequent economic accessibility, beginning a true industrial revolution in the pearl field.<\/p>\n

Nowadays everyone can buy a pearl necklace<\/strong> thanks to the freshwater ones. But why? Because the needed condition for the cultivation<\/strong> are less harsh then the other types of pearls, and this benefits the productors, dealers and clients; it is undeniable the fact that this quick develope is due to the stronger and stronger inner demand<\/strong> which represents a further motivation for the cultivators. And, as I had the chance discover on my own, most of the costumers now say “I love freshwater pearls<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

The years pass by and the Chinese production skills get sharper<\/strong> – thanks to the huge invenstments on new tecniques <\/strong>-, finally improving the final product to the – light – detriment of the material quality. But, if the freshwaters suffer a little decrease, the Akoya ones undergo a harsher drop because of the strict inspections applied during the production, which have lead to a further improvement of the final product.<\/p>\n

Although China<\/strong> has begun to produce the fine Akoya (called South pearls<\/strong>) and the same freshwater production needs less time – with a steadier avaliability -, the market is still unstable<\/strong> and even a person with 20 years of experience like me can hardly guess what the tendency of this field will precisely be.<\/p>\n

However, I have a clear opinion on a possible future tendency, thanks to the certainty that this field can only grow in a constant way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not only the pearls but even the jewel design<\/strong> can change depending on the market they have been introduced into: in Italy<\/strong> the European style (the simplest one without many precious stones besides pearls) dominates the market, but generally the single piece of jewellery collects the influence of different cultures<\/strong>, pointing out not only the preferences of the costumer but the global espression too.<\/p>\n

One thing that I particularly like to talk about is the new 3D tecnique<\/strong> which is used to show the final product to the costumer<\/strong>, so he\/she can concretely see it before its realisation in order to prove the fullfilment of his\/her demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
