Hallmark stamp:These earrings are hallmark stamped22KHand-crafted:Our 22K solid genuine Gold jewelry are made using ancienttraditional techniques. Each piece is handmade and is not a machine massproduced item. Each piece, granulation or wire isapplied one by one which make each piece a one-of-a-kind.Enjoy using and wearing our jewelry as much as we enjoyedmaking them. Definition of Granulation:Old-world goldsmithing brings the past into the present withdetailed surface decoration that suits antique and contemporary designsGranulation, the art of creating a surface pattern on jewelrywith tiny gold balls, dates back to the third millennium BC. The technique,invented in the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt and later refined byEtruscan goldsmiths, looks as fresh and inventive today as it must have then.The process begins when wire is cut into short lengths andmelted into round granules that are placed on the jewelry in the desiredpattern. They’re held in place with temporary “glue” made from plant sap. Inthe best examples, the balls are attached permanently with heating (whichevaporates the glue), not soldering. But it’s a difficult process because thetemperature has to be hot enough to fuse the gold ball to the surface, butnot enough to melt the ball into an amorphous puddle.Granulation involves only high-karat gold. The purer thematerial, the easier it will be to achieve the fusion required forgranulation.People are instantly attracted to granulation because of theconnection to ancient cultures.They also react strongly to a pattern created with the richcolor of high-karat gold. The high karat gold granulation is the same coloras the pure gold bar from which it’s made. Colored gemstones look particularly enticing in granulatedjewelry because the rich colors complement each other.Definition South Sea Pearls:South Sea pearls are often referred to as the queen of gems. A SouthSea pearl is a pearlproduced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk.South Sea pearls are among the largest and mostvaluable commercially harvested cultured pearls in the world. The averagesize of a SouthSea pearl is 12 to 13mm in diameter, with most harvests producing a range of sizes from 9 mm to 20mm. They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian andPacific Oceans,primarily in Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines.These waters are the native habitat of a large oyster known asPinctada maxima. This oyster grows up to 12 inches in diameter, and can benucleated with a much larger bead than other saltwater oysters There are two varieties of Pinctada maxima, the silver-lippedand the gold-lipped. The two are distinguished by their distinct colorationof the outer edge of the interior. This type of shell is also known asmother-of-pearl, and is responsible for the coloration of the cultured pearlsproduced, therefore the name.The South Seas are alsoextremely clean, and filled with plankton – the Pinctada maxima's favoritefood source. The clean waters and abundant food supply also speeds the nacreproduction. The growth period for SouthSea pearls is a minimumof two years allowing for a larger size.South Sea pearls have several distinctcharacteristics that are unique to this gem. The nacre is unusually thick,ranging from 2 - 6 mm. South Sea pearls have a unique, satiny luster that comesfrom the rapidly deposited nacre and warm waters of the SouthSeas. SouthSea pearls also have asubtle array of colors; typically white, cream, silver, and golden, that arerare in other pearl types.Valuable pearls occur naturally in the wild, but they areextremely rare! Cultured or farmed pearls make up the majority of those thatare currently sold. Pearls from the sea are valued more highly thanfreshwater pearls.Due to the extremely high cost of production, they remainamong the costliest pearls on the market todayThe colors of genuine cultured South Seapearls are completely natural without any treatment.We are very proud to offer one of the most extensive lines ofloose and SouthSea pearl strands foundonline today.These pearls are madeby nature; nurtured by man, every individual pearl carries with it theadventure, a history and a story, unique only to pearls.
