Pearl FALCO’s Insider Buyer Guide to Blue Mabe Pearl Jewelry

Your Guide to Blue Mabe Pearl Jewelry

Mabe Pearls’ defining characteristic is a pearl formed with a unique, hemispherical dome shape. Mabe Pearls are commonly cultivated from Akoya Mother Oysters in Ise Shima Japan.

Incorporating Pearl FALCO’s signature “Shizuku” Design Concept, made even more glamorous with a selection of 0.03 Ct Diamonds and 18K White Gold.

Shopping for Pearl Jewelry. Nothing Like Shopping for Toaster Ovens!

While each and every pearl is truly a beauty to behold, choosing the right pearl jewelry to suit your personal aspirations doesn’t need to be a daunting process. The various options available in the jewelry market can seem overwhelming at times, and we at Pearl FALCO Are Available for Free Consultations. 

For Pearl FALCO, it is paramount that our customers fully appreciate their buying options. This is especially relevant as every now and again there is a story of a jeweler not fully disclosing the true value of the pearl jewelry they are selling. Pearl FALCO is here to help avoid that from happening at all costs.

Distinguishing Qualities and Features of Mabe Pearl Jewelry

Pearls of the same type are further classified by a grading process that examines, ‘Luster,’ ‘Shape,’ ‘Size,’ ‘Surface Quality,’ and ‘Color.’ Born in nature, genuine pearls have imperfections which is a natural part of the cultivation process. These imperfections are what set genuine pearls apart from synthetic pearls.

Your Mabe Pearls’ Luster and Shine

As Expert Pearl Buyers worldwide will explain, a single pearl’s ‘value’ is primarily concerned with the intersection of ‘surface brilliance,’ ‘radiance’ and ‘shine.’ Next time you are able to visit a Pearl FALCO Gallery, ask about comparing ‘surface brilliance, radiance and shine’ and ‘chalky’ vs ‘high luster.’ 

These qualities are where Akoya Pearls are unmatched, just as with Pearl FALCO’s Blue Akoya Pearl Necklace Design. Made even more special with its deep, dreamy blue hues, blue pearls being among the rarest of pearl colors.

Surface Quality

Quality pearls will have few blemishes,  even when observed under a loupe. There should also be less visible ‘mottling’ or patterning on the surface due to the result of inconsistent nacre layering caused mainly by environmental disturbances during the cultivation process. 

While these kind of blemishes may not affect the durability of the pearl, its overall beauty,, some discriminating customers may consider such imperfections enough to take away from the jewelry design as a whole.

Size and Shape

Regardless of pearl type, a pearl’s size can be a strong determinant of value. Mabe Pearls which typically range from 6mm to 12mm, with 6mm Mabe’s comprising the vast majority of the market. Mabe pearls above 6mm in size are considered exceptionally rare. 

As one can imagine, pearls that are closest to being ‘perfectly round’ are highly-valued for obvious reasons.  Mabe Pearls on the other hand, while not symmetrically spherical in shape, are special due to their rarity, unique shape and formation which Pearl FALCO Discussed in a Previous Blog.

Color and Overtones

Among the colors pearls are available in, blue pearls are among the rarest of pearls. In addition, blue pearls also have overtones of silver, rose or cream which is observed when viewed under refracted light, the highest quality pearls display crisp and sharp tones.  

Pearl FALCO’s Blue Akoya Pearl White Gold Earrings are an excellent example of the selection process involved in crafting luxury pearl jewelry. These earrings are not only another one-of-a-kind Pearl FALCO design, but exceptionally rare due to the color, size and luster of the pearls incorporated.
