Rainbow Mabe Pearl
The
rainbow pearl derived its name from its rainbow color;
likewise, other pearl which color looks like natural champagne
is named Champagne pearl. Its luster is better than South Sea
Pearl and Tahiti Black Pearl. This type of pearl was originally
produced in Australia. Due to its radiant luster and rare
production, its is highly valued and expensive. The mother
shell of Rainbow Pearl, Penguin Oyster was subsequently brought
to South China Sea for cultivation. The first 3 years of trial
culturing process was extremely difficult as the wild Penguin
Oyster had to adapt to a new environment. However, after 13
years of dedicated hard work, the first batch of healthy
Penguin Oyster was successfully harvested and with it the birth
of the highly valued and beautiful Rainbow Pearl, which had
been careful, cultured and nurtured for 10 years. Nearly all
Rainbow Pearl sold today are Half-Round Pearl or Mabe Blister
Pearl. Its culturing techniques is similar to those used for
the Tahiti Black Pearl and South Sea Pearl. However, the
irritation object the seed in it is not round but half round
(sometime is oval shaped or heart shapes) and attached to the
shell. In view of its radiant gloss, a different cutting
technique is employed from the traditional Mabe Pearl (which
cut only the bubble part). It is instead cut together with the
shell base and hence the design of the pearl may very. Because
the size of the pearl is bigger, it produces better luster and
color.
