So, apa sih bedanya mutiara yg mahal sama yg enggak? Secara fisik, gw gak bisa bedain. Misalnya nih, antara merek Mikimoto, Honora, sama mutiara yg gw beli di Pasar Batu Jatinegara.

Yah mungkin ada bedanya dikit, misalnya kadar keputihan (apa istilahnya? yg jelas bukan pektay), atau kesempurnaan bentuk, dst, tapi apa itu aja?

Atau hanya sekedar pada naturenya? Yg satu freshwater cultured, sementara yg ribuan dollar itu mutiara air asin yg bukan cultured?

Pls educate

kl ga salah nih y..mutiara air asin yang bukan culture itu lebih mahal karena prosesnya yang lama dan tingkat kekerasannya lebih keras dari mutiara hasil budidaya, dengan istilah lain mutiara hasil budidaya lebih rapuh dibanding mutiara alam, dan dari warnanya juga berpengaruh terhadap harga, tingkat kesempurnaan bentuknya juga, semakin halus permukaannya maka makin mahallah harga mutiara itu.

nah sekedar berbagi ini ada sedikit ulasan tentang mutiara dan jenisnya semoga membantu

Maksudnya mutiara palsu itu apa? Plastik?

Selain plastik sih gak ada yg palsu ya. Freshwater cultured kan buka palsu. Sama ada lagi shell (yg disebut mother of pearl), itu juga bukan palsu.

Hola!
wah gw sempet post pertanyaan soal pearl di tret "Cara Merawat Perhiasan", tapi kurang info sharing FD-ers.
Gw ada freshwater beli di Chomel (Singapore brand) Pondok Indah Mall, each bead 9-10mm in diameter, princess single strand, milky color, gompel alias flaw <10% ( kira2

)

Yang saltwater pastinya pricey, semisal from mediterranean (bisa Rp. 30 juta/necklace, while freshwater's with similar color costs around 1juta), akoya japan (tapi udah rare karna water-nya polluted), apalagi tahiti (black pearl).
Semestinya pearl sekarang mostly cultured karena permintaan pasar makin banyak.
Trus ada juga yang dibuat dari shell yang dihancurin (not bead-nucleated), tapi ini ketauan sich agak2 ringan&kinclong, sementara pearl umumnya kan agak berat&blur (apacoba bahasa gw???)

Cara ngerawat masih kurang tau nich (so far cuma ditaro di velvet box dari toko&di-lap pake lap kacamata biar gak nempel keringet)
-are they ever gonna change color/decrease in lustre quality?
-can they break/chipped when fall?

I adore pearls since it's my birthstone as a cancerian (gak penting)

MissQ Atau maksudlo palsu itu suntikan? Gw sering denger istilah mutiara suntikan walopun gak ngerti sebenernya apa sih ini. Sakit apa tiramnya pake disuntik? *graux*

Rianna What's with Tahitian pearl?

[Lena]

pearl kan dihasilkan oleh oyster, karena dia kemasukan benda asing e.g. pasir (for the bencongs: irritant, coy!) maka dia mencoba mengisolasi tuh benda dengan membungkusnya dengan semacam getah yang makin lama makin besar dan keras dan jadilah mutiara. kalo di budidaya, iritantnya itu disuntik, diinjeksi, jadi artificial untuk membuat si kerang bikin mutiara. kayaknya soal menginjeksi ini ada seninya juga, mesti pas supaya kerangnya sempurnya.

ANYWAY, gue justru suka pearls yg gak sempurna bentuknya, dan gak putih, biasanya beli kalo lagi travelling, seneng deh liat warna2 ijo, bronze dll. setiap kali beli banyak, pasti dimintain orang ato gue kasi2 orang, yang tinggal sekarang a couple warna ijo dan pinkish-orange one (looks amazing on with a tan). the price is very low (100rb upwards) for a strand, but it really helps locals when you buy directly. i can't really differentiate between saltwater of freshwater. i'll take photos of them sometimes.

fyi, pembuatan pearl ini mengandalkan kondisi air laut yang bagus (gak polusi) dan sekarang jadi salah satu option untuk kerjasama dengan kawasan laut yg dilindungi (e.g. taman nasional). the pearl farm gets a pristine environment to work in, and the national park gets a source of revenue for their operations. on paper it's a win-win solution (in reality still some bumps). di taman nasional bali barat di bali, ada pearl farm namanya disthi, dia buat diving excursion ke pearl farm, juga ada rencana membuat pearl museum di sana (dulu gue ke sana belum operasional, baru beres gedungnya).

Nah Len, kalo freshwater, berarti di air biasa, no? Kok tiram bisa hidup di air tawar? Tiram mutan..

Soal warna2, gimana pula itu ceritanya. Iya I kno

The Tooth Test

- Let me preface my remarks by stating an important point: This test is NOT reliable! To use the tooth test, you rub the surface of the pearl over your teeth. Supposedly a real pearl feels gritty while a faux pearl feels smooth.

- The premise behind the test is valid: Real pearls are made up of layers of nacre that are deposited rather like sand on a beach.The slight waves and irregularities in the nacre can produce a gritty or bumpy feeling against the teeth. On the other hand, many synthetic nacres are applied smoothly onto perfectly smooth beads. These pearls would feel smooth against the teeth. The test is pretty good for distinguishing rare natural pearls from glass pearls, but it isn't as good at identifying cultured pearls, which have fewer layers of nacre and may feel more smooth. If the pearls are dyed, the dye can fill in natural depressions in the pearls, making them feel smooth.

- Also, some synthetic pearls are made to look and feel like real pearls. Mabe pearls may have a protective coating applied to them, which makes them smooth even though they may be genuine. The formulation of the nacre can closely resemble that of real pearls. The nacre could be applied to a natural base, like a shell bead, making this test completely unreliable. wadoh, susah juga yak

- The tooth test is a nice test, but don't base your judgement of authenticity on this test alone. If you think it's reliable, I swear I could find pearls that would fool youboth real and faux.

black pearl adanya di perairan tahiti, denger2 paling rare&pricey.

akoya pearl itu freshwater secara di-produced di danau.
cultured pearl bentuknya memang gak bisa bener2 round, kalo injeksi (bisa dimasukin irisan daging oyster atau kulit kerang) yang bikin bentuknya beda2 karena hasil jadinya bisa nempel di dinding/gak di tengah, jadi gak bulet bener, ada yang oval, bentuk nasi juga ada.

gw sering liat freshwater di bazaar2 suka banyak cacat/gompelnya, bentuk & warna gak seragam, harganya murah.
kalungnya (princess necklace) Rp. 500-600ribuan dapet.
