Shanghai, China is renowned for
the quality and abundance of pearls produced in the area. In 2015, I visited a
pearl outlet as part of guided tour and found it fascinating. Before entering
the showroom, a staff member gave us a demonstration and showed us the
difference between a freshwater and saltwater oyster. The different colour of
pearls was also explained with the black colour being caused by sediment. The showroom
was amazing with showcase after showcase of glistening pearl jewellery. Strands
of white, peach, pink and black pearls lay in silk cushions and earrings and
bracelets were also available. Truly a miracle of nature.
