The price of pearls in the market ranges from tens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Of course, there are grades. To be precise, 4A pearls are the best, and which 4A is 1. Firstly, the gloss of their surfaces (pearl luster grade: A is extremely strong, especially bright, sharp and even, and the skin looks like a mirror) 2. Roundness, the farther away pearls are, the more expensive they are (shape grade: perfect circle A/kloc). Seawater pearl: the difference ratio between the longest diameter and the shortest diameter is ≤ 1%3, and the flaw degree (flaw degree level: flawless A, 100% surface is smooth and perfect without any flaws) means that the less flaws on the surface, the better. Matching degree (there are only two or more pearls) I'm not going to explain this more. Generally, paying for a pearl is 3A pearls. Besides, it depends on the size (generally speaking, the bigger the pearl, the more expensive it is) and the color ... Personally, I think salty water beads are better than fresh water beads, because salty water beads don't fade, such as Nanyang pearls are good, and the color is peacock green, etc., but be careful when buying salty water beads. .......
