Pearl History in China
As early as 4000 years ago, Chinese people
discovered a kind of delicate gem with soft brilliance when searching ocean for
food. This is pearl. Since then, countless pearl jewelry and artwork have been
created by talented Chinese people. Hence, pearl has been one of the important
parts of Chinese culture.
The first book note of pearl is four thousand
years ago in China. And people in China have been collecting, growing, and
harvesting pearls for over two thousand years - we have the oldest pearl
production tradition anywhere in the world. China was also the first country to
develop cultured pearls, around 1082 A.D.
Chinese pearls are the highest
qualityIn China - especially in the southern region
where our pearls are from -
breeding conditions for pearls are
ideal.Our country is huge, with diverse waterways that provide
many different environments for oysters. We have vast watersheds that provide
huge
breeding areas for oysters, and millions of tons of
natural food. In the South, our waters are just the right
temperature and salinity to encourage oysters to grow. In addition, we
experience few earthquakes and violent storms, making ours a
peaceful
place for oysters to
grow large pearls over a long
period of time. In addition, the
China pearl industry is
ancient. We combine cutting-edge technology with knowledge accumulated over
thousands of years to grow the best pearls in the world.
Chinese pearls are
undeniably important.Nowadays, with production volume of 96% of
pearls sold worldwide, the industry would come to a standstill
without
pearls from China. China is, in fact, the main pearls
exporting country to Japan. In fact, a large quantity of China pearls are used
for Japanese pearl jewelry.
