It's real pearls, but it's not easy to produce precious pearls by yourself.

What a coincidence! There were mussels sold by the roadside a few days ago, because I had seen the live video of opening mussels to get pearls before, and then I bought some to open them myself to show you the results.

It's not easy to produce precious pearls by buying mussels and getting pearls by yourself:

Looking at the picture, you can see that some pearls are very small and not so round, and these values are very low. If you want a pearl necklace, it is not as cost-effective as buying a pearl necklace directly. Generally, the price of a clam remains around 21 yuan -81 yuan. The higher the age, the more pearls you open, the more expensive it is. However, the chance of opening a good pearl is very small, and it takes processing fees to make a necklace or bracelet yourself. It is not cost-effective to buy a pearl necklace directly.

What pearls are the most precious:

Generally speaking, the quantity over 11mm is small and the value is higher, but the range of freshwater pearls is below 11mm, and the mussels I bought by the roadside are still far from 11 mm.

In addition, round pearls are more expensive, and the more round pearls are, the more valuable they are. For freshwater pearls, the proportion of round pearls is very small. Usually, round freshwater pearls are not used as strings, because the number is too small to collect and match, and they are more used to embed single pearl pendants, rings or matching earrings.

So it's true to open mussels to get pearls, but it's not recommended to buy mussels to open them, because the mussels you buy can hardly produce good pearls.
