When it comes to pearls, many people will think of Australian white pearls, Australian white pearls are native to Australia, but the Australian government has a limited amount every year, and it is extremely rare and widely respected.
Nanyang white pearl, referred to as Nanyang white pearl, its three major production areas are the northwestern part of Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines.
The size of nanyang white beads is generally above 10mm, the larger size can reach 18mm, and the top one can reach 20mm. South Sea white pearls are very picky about the living environment, such as the water temperature should be stable, can not be cold nor hot and other harsh conditions, but a very small part of the northwest coast of Australia can meet.
In order to allow the mother oysters during pregnancy to receive careful care and let them successfully give birth to pearl babies, the people of the region have done a lot of work, but no more than 83% of the mother oysters can successfully give birth to pearl babies. And a large part of the mother oyster can only produce low-quality pearls, and some even work hard but do not produce anything. Only a few female oysters can give birth to true beads. It can be said that it is as difficult to get a near-perfect Nanyang white pearl as chasing dreams.
Due to the very limited natural resource conditions, the Australian South Sea white pearl is even more precious. The Australian government has customized relevant quotas and regulations for the annual catch of white butterfly shellfish to maintain the balance of the local ecology.
Due to the small number of female oysters, coupled with the long growth cycle and high difficulty, the number of Nanyang white beads produced each year is extremely limited, and the high-quality Nanyang white beads are even fewer.
Therefore, whether it is in terms of preciousness, or the size and color of the pearl itself, or the price level, Nanyang white pearl is a well-deserved "king of pearls".
