Hello everyone ^^
It is a mountainous area of ​​Aye Isuzu east.

Tomorrow is Coming-of-Age Day, isn't it?
Congratulations to all the new grown-up people!

"20-year-old gathering" will be held in Takamatsu city today.

I feel a little sad that the familiar name of the coming-of-age ceremony has changed due to the fact that the age of adulthood has been lowered to 18 from April 2022, but from a global perspective, it is unlikely that the age of 18 will be considered an adult. It seems not uncommon.

How about gifting jewelry that can be used for a long time as a celebration item to new adults who are taking the first step from children to adults?

By giving a long, seven-colored shining gift with all your heart at this time of year, it should be like a talisman that will continue to watch over the future for the young lady.

So, what kind of gifts do most people actually receive?

Among the many types of jewelry, pearls are not only suitable for everyday use, but also play an active role in various scenes such as ceremonial occasions.

Among them, choker necklaces are simple and basic items.
A convenient item that adds femininity and elegance just by wearing it.

However, unlike diamonds, which have different carat numbers and cuts, it is difficult to judge the quality of pearls at a glance.

Today we will introduce how to choose such a profound pearl.

A must-see for customers who choose a pearl necklace for the first time ^ ^
please check it!

6 Ways to Identify Beautiful Pearls

First element [size]

Akoya pearls range in size from 3 mm to 10 mm.

Of course, as with diamonds, if the quality is the same, the larger the size, the higher the price.

But it's not as good as bigger pearls, and a smaller but better quality pearl is more expensive than a larger, poorer quality pearl.

The most important thing when choosing again is whether it suits you. is.

The size of the pearl that suits each person is different, so it is recommended that you try it on according to your age, height, and body shape.

Generally speaking, if you don't need to repurchase and choose a product that you can use for the rest of your life, the most basic bead sizes are 8mm and 8.5mm.

It is a standard size that is most selected as a gift for new adults.

Second element [Scratches]

When a pearl is produced, the bumps and spots that are attached to it from the beginning are called "scratches."

It is often misunderstood that the scratches are caused during handling by the trader, but pearls are much more durable than the general image, so most of the scratches are from birth.

Dimples are sometimes referred to as dimples, but the essence is the individuality of the pearl. So please be careful when choosing.

Third element [Shape]

Because pearls are not man-made but are created by the power of nature, each pearl has its own personality and shape.
Please pick it up and turn it round and round to check it out.
By doing so, defects such as shapes and scratches will be easier to see.

Except for some baroque pearls, the closer the pearl is to a perfect circle, the higher the quality of the pearl.

The fourth element [roll]

A pearl is completed by embedding a ball called a "nucleus" in a shellfish and covering the core with secretions produced by the shellfish itself. “Maki” refers to the thickness of this naturally formed nacreous layer, and the thicker this is, the better the pearl is and the more brilliant it is.

Then, how thick should a pearl be to be a beautiful pearl?

The standard is 0.3mm or more. When it comes to Hanadama pearls, which are said to be of good quality, or Aurora celestial maidens, which are considered to be of high rarity, a winding thickness of 0.4 mm or more is essential.

The fifth element [gloss (terry)]

It is the thickness of the mother-of-pearl layer, that is, the "roll" that produces the "teri".

● “Quantity” of rolls 0.3mm or more is required ● “Quality” of rolls Nacreous layers overlap in an orderly fashion

If these two conditions are satisfied, a beautiful Teri will be born.

The important thing is that no matter how thick the roll is, if the quality of the roll is poor, it will not produce a beautiful "teri".

As for "teri", it's a complicated element with various factors involved in the mechanism, but the point is whether it's beautiful or not when you look at it.

Good "TERI" pearls have the following characteristics.

●I can see my face and lighting more clearly.
-Pink and green colors emerge vividly with the light.

"Teri" is the life of pearls.
If your budget is the same, we recommend that you give priority to "teri" over "scratches" and "shape".

Sixth Element [Consecutive Phase (Finishing)]

Finally, in addition to the above five elements, the “finish (continuous phase)” is also an important criterion for the necklace.

Continuous phase refers to the uniformity of color and quality among pearls, and beautiful pearls have a uniform size and color, and have a refined beauty.

Pearl choker necklaces are jewels that have been loved in Japan since ancient times as tools.

That is why everyone wears a series of choker necklaces with pearls lined up neatly on formal occasions such as ceremonial occasions, kindergarten entrances and graduations.

It is precisely because the design is the same that the quality is clearly visible, so it is best to choose high-quality pearls at a reasonable price.

Lastly, the price of pearls has continued to soar in recent years, and high-quality pearls are flowing overseas.

This time, we have prepared only 3 Hanadama pearl choker necklaces at a special price that can be said to be the last time this year.
