The Rich History of Pearls

Since ancient times, the pearl has been a symbol of unblemished perfection. It is the oldest known gem, and for centuries it was considered the most valuable. A fragment of the oldest known pearl jewelry, found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess who died in 520 BC, is displayed in the Louvre in Paris. To the ancients, pearls were a symbol of the moon and had magical powers. In classical Rome, only persons above a certain rank were allowed to wear pearl jewelry. The Latin word for pearl literally means "unique", attesting to the fact that no two pearls are identical.

No one will ever know who were the earliest people to

collect and wear pearls. George Frederick Kunz,

whom I like to call America's first gemologist, in his 1908 masterpiece, The Book of the

Pearl, states his belief that an ancient fish-eating tribe,

perhaps along the coast of India, initially appreciated the shape and lustre of saltwater pearls, which they discovered

while opening oysters for food.

China's Cultured Pearl Revolution

Now China is in what I call its Third Pearl Wave. Starting in the 1990s, China surprised the market with products that are revolutionizing pearling. The shapes, luster, and colors of the new Chinese production often match original Biwa quality and sometime even surpass it; certainly the new orange and peach-colored pearls are unique. As testimony to China's achievement, their freshwater pearls are round enough and good enough to pass as Japanese akoya. China already sells round white pearls up to 7mm for perhaps a tenth the price of Japanese cultured saltwater pearls.

A great irony of pearl history is that the least expensive cultured pearl product in the market today rivals the quality of the most expensive

natural pearls ever found. The price-value anomaly is obvious to

consumers as they hasten to buy Chinese freshwater bargains.

Indeed, pearls from freshwater mussels lie at the center of the

liveliest activity in pearling today.
