When we are choosing pearls, we often hear the terms “seeded pearls” and “seedless pearls”, but what exactly are seeded pearls and seedless pearls? Which should we choose? Let me introduce it next!
Seedless pearls are freshwater pearls, and seeded pearls are seawater pearls. The main differences between them are as follows:
- Gloss, the gloss of seeded pearls is better, because the nacre density of seeded pearls is greater than that of seedless pearls;
The metallic luster of seeded pearls is better than that of seedless pearls, and the luster of seedless pearls is softer.
- Shape. Seeded pearls are artificially cultivated in seawater. Generally, they are mostly round, more round and plump. Seedless pearls are freshwater and are artificially cultivated in freshwater areas. Their shapes are rich and diverse. There are few perfect rounds, and the common ones are oval, oblate, and special-shaped. Seedless pearls have no foreign objects to support their shape, and it is difficult to form the same roundness of size and quality as that of cored pearls, so they have the same round shape. The shape is more diverse;
- Color, seedless pearls cover almost all the colors of pearls, but some colors are extremely rare, such as the commonly known black pearls, the black seedless pearl necklaces seen on the market are basically produced by dyeing; The color of seeded pearls is not available, but black is a unique color of seeded pearls.
Seeded and seedless pearls are only the difference between different cultivation methods of pearls. For the same pearls, there is no essential difference between them. If you like pearls that are larger and brighter, it is better to choose seawater pearls. For example, if you prefer purple and pink pearls, and you like delicate ones, then choose freshwater seedless pearls. seeded pearls and seedless pearls have their own advantages, which mainly depends on which characteristics of pearls the buyer prefers. The most important thing is to choose the one that suits them. However, from the perspective of consumption, pearls are a kind of loss. The wearing time of pearls is not distinguished by seeded or seedless. Although a seedless bead chain will not peel off, once the luster fades to a certain extent, it will lose its actual wearing value. In the case of proper maintenance, the actual wearing time of a good seeded bead necklace will never be lower than that of a seedless pearl necklace of the same quality.
The above are the common ways to identify pearls. If you are interested in pearl jewelry, you are welcome to buy cheap wholesale jewelry on jewelrykg!
