Many people think that wearing jewelry is to be beautiful and decorative, but in fact, it is not, although the jewelry itself is indeed very gorgeous, and because things are rare and expensive, every woman will flock to it. In fact, in addition to the gorgeous side of jewelry, many jewelry lovers pay more attention to the special meaning contained in the jewelry itself, so do you know what special meaning pearls contain?
Pearls mean longevity, wealth and health, pearls have a pivotal position in the jewelry world, some people say that pearls are the only living jewelry in the jewelry world, which not only has a high appreciation value, but also has different health value of other jewelry, pearls themselves contain high nutritional value, is widely used in beauty and other industries, many of which contain pearl ingredients. It has whitening and freckle removal, calming and calming effects, as early as ancient medicine has been an example of pearl medicine.
Pearls have a long history as a beloved piece of jewelry, and since their discovery, they have been used as a symbol of nobility and status. As a high-grade ornament, pearls have dazzling brilliance, and pearls can also be used in medicine in addition to having a very high ornamental value. In the famous ancient medical books, it has been recorded that pearls have the effect of calming, calming, detoxifying, and curing ulcers. So as a pearl with a beautiful appearance and connotation, how was it formed?
In fact, there are two different ways of pearl formation, which can be called internal and external causes. External factors can also be divided into two different formation mechanisms. First, when the pearl shell is invaded by foreign objects, such as sand, etc., then the shell itself will spontaneously produce a protective mechanism, and in the place where the foreign body is invaded, it will form a mantle membrane and surround it, and the cells of the mantle membrane epidermis will be through continuous fission, and then wrapped, slowly forming a package with a foreign body as the core, which is what we call the pearl capsule.
The pearl sac itself continues to secrete pearls, once again wrapped in the invading foreign body, and over time, the pearls become thicker, which forms a pearl with the invading foreign body as the core. This kind of pearl formed due to the invasion of foreign bodies is what we call a nucleated pearl.
Second, when the pearl oyster is invaded by an external foreign body, the epidermal cells will proliferate abnormally, and will be surrounded by the mantle membrane, and the epidermal cells wrapped in the middle will continue to fission, so that over time, multiple pearl sacs of nacre will be formed, which is what we call a seedless pearl. In addition to the above pearls formed by external factors, there is another kind of pearl that is formed by internal causes. The pearl formed by this internal factor is related to the lesion of the shell itself, and the cells of the mantle membrane of the pearl shell are diseased, and some of the epidermal cells are decomposed because they are stimulated, thus enveloping the keratin secreted by themselves and being wrapped up by the mantle membrane. The outer epidermal cells slowly form a pearl sac, layer by layer uninterruptedly wrapped together, this pearl formed by its own lesions is actually a kind of seedless pearl.
Next, I would like to introduce you to one of the most expensive pearls in the world, which is the Regent's Pearl. This is the largest pear-shaped pearl in the world, weighing 302.68 grams. At that time, Napoleon I obtained this charming pearl by chance and gave her to his wife Queen Mary, which became the main ornament of her pearl crown. Later, it was passed to Louis XVIII and hung on his crown.
Until 1878, it was exhibited as a royal ornament at the Louvre in Paris, attracting the attention of the world. Later, France decided to auction the jewelry, which attracted many famous people to come to the auction. After many changes of hands, this charming pearl sold for a high price of 24.84 million US dollars, becoming the most expensive pearl in a single pearl, beyond everyone's expectations.
In history, pearls as jewelry are also very valuable, the previous pearls are natural, so precious is also innate, most of the pearls are now artificially cultivated, as the saying goes, "things are rare and expensive", now there are many pearls to flood, so many pearls appear to be very affordable.
