Pearl珍珠

珍珠作为已知最古老的宝石,自古以来就备受珍视。在历史上,珍珠被佩戴在社会上最精英的成员的颈项上,象征着权力和智慧,并被缝在服装上展示财富和社会地位。它们对许多世界各地的文化都非常重要,甚至在一些古代宗教文本中也被提及。 珍珠是由牡蛎创造的,也是唯一来自活生生的生物的宝石。它们有许多形状和大小,其中圆形最受欢迎。珠宝中使用的大多数珍珠由一种叫做“珍珠母”的材料层组成,这种材料由有机和无机物质组成。这就是为什么有珍珠贝母的珍珠具有独特的虹彩光泽。 天然珍珠非常稀有且有价值;今天市场上大多数珍珠都是培育的,这意味着它们是在人造农场中生产的。所有的珍珠都是淡水或海水,尽管这些组别内有许多不同的品种。淡水珍珠是由河流、湖泊和池塘中的贻贝制造的,而海水珍珠则是由几种海洋牡蛎制造的。有些珍珠可能需要一到三年的时间才能生长,每只牡蛎通常只能产生两到三颗珍珠。 珍珠 珍珠是六月份的生日石,传统上也是第三个结婚纪念日的礼物。它们被认为可以为佩戴者带来好运和保护,这也是它们受到皇室和贵族青睐的另一个原因。如今,它们用于各种珠宝,但依然美丽时尚。由于珍珠母的柔软性,它们比较脆弱,因此在珍珠珠宝方面需要额外小心,以确保其不会被划伤或损坏。珍珠耳环是展示这种独特宝石之美的经典和流行选择。 珍珠适合作为订婚戒指吗?  珍珠容易受损,因此不是日常戒指的理想选择。珍珠非常适合用于偶尔佩戴的戒指或礼服戒指。

七月的诞生石 红宝石

七月的诞生石,红宝石被认为是爱之石。它的名字来源于拉丁语“ruber”,意为“红色”。根据古老的传说,许多人认为这种颜色浓烈的红宝石内含有神秘的力量。红宝石的颜色丰富度、反射光的亮度和宝石的清晰度决定了它的质量。 精品红宝石超过三克拉非常罕见,比所有其他有色宝石更有价值,除了某些亚历山大石。它通常比等价的白钻更有价值。 在评估红宝石时,颜色是一个非常重要的因素。颜色分为三个组成部分:色调、饱和度和明度。色调是指我们通常所说的“颜色”。 在红宝石中,主要的色调必须是红色。所有其他的刚玉宝石的色调都被称为蓝宝石。红宝石可能会呈现出一系列的辅助色调。棕色、紫色、紫罗兰色和粉色都是可能的。 红宝石 红宝石在哪里开采? 世界各地的矿山生产各种不同的红色。例如,缅甸的莫戈克山谷以其“鸽子血”或粉红色而闻名。泰国和柬埔寨的红宝石通常具有浓郁的深红色,而非洲的红宝石则往往是红棕色。 传统上,最高质量的红宝石来自缅甸(缅甸),采自莫戈克和蒙古叙的传奇地区。从伦理角度来看,高品质红宝石的更好来源是泰国、马达加斯加、坦桑尼亚和斯里兰卡。 红宝石是否经过处理? 大多数红宝石通常会被热处理,以改善清晰度并减少不良的棕色色调。这是一种被认为是可以接受和正常的处理过程。被证明未经处理的高品质红宝石将会命令非常高的价格。少于5%的精品宝石属于这一类别。宝石的处理必须在所有销售环节中都必须透露。 另一种改善红宝石外观的常见处理方法是玻璃填充或断裂填充。这种处理方法稳定性较差,被认为是欺骗性和不可取的做法。对填充断裂的红宝石施加热力或将其放入“宝石裂缝”中通常会导致石头表面出现一层模糊的白色涂层,无法逆转。
