Freshwater Pearl - Chinese history of pearl farming

Although it seems that the culture of pearls is a relatively new thing, and China's entry into the pearl culture is only 40-odd years ago. In fact, the truth is that the culture of pearls in China began long ago as 700 years ago.

Records from that period describe the methods blister pearl. Blister pearls or Mabe pearl is made against the inside of the body. China played a relatively small Buddha and put it into the body and the mantle of the mussel would Buddha with mother of pearl. Most of the time they would reduce these figures and jewelry to cloak the figure for use in other pearl jewelry. Sometimes, the shells were sold whole, without reducing the other. Those today. The technique has been used to support the shell and slide the figure between the mantle and shell. Farmers should be able to care for them for six months or so and then.

Then began a new era in the late 60's or early 70's. Outbreak of the China market with tons of pearls, mostly small dry Keshi pearls with the name of Rice Krispies or glamorous potatoes, pearl name of the game. But not all the pearls were less than 2% of those tons were made. Soon realize that the notes of the best rhythm, their energy has been found, pearl farmers began to imitate the technical center now extinct Pearl Lake Biwa, Japan.

Using methods similar to the Japanese freshwater pearl farmers, they will move soon culture of the upper classes and their relation to the pearls, they turned their production quality and greater quantity. At present, China continues to improve the quality of freshwater pearls and quality of competing cultures of marine oyster Akoya. Without a doubt, with rising costs steadily in Japan, if the quality continues, China is the world leader in the cultivation of pearls of high quality.
