Mabe pearl - Fukui Pearl Knowledge Sharing

Mabe pearls are a general term for half pearls that grow close to the shell. For foreigners, the Buddha pearls with a long history in China are also a type of Mabe pearl. Freshwater pearl oysters are generally used for Mabe pearl farming, which are less exclusive and have a lower risk of death. In addition, larger marine pearl oysters, such as penguin oysters occasionally found in Hong Kong, and white lipped oysters and black lipped oysters that have been cultured once or twice can also be used to cultivate Mabe pearls.

The process of cultivating Mabe pearls : fix the half-bead nucleus to the shell, and wait for the mother-of-pearl to grow along the nucleus. If you have heard of the origin of Buddha pearls, you will think that the half-bead nucleus is not necessarily semicircular. Indeed, as long as the shape of the half-bead nucleus is slightly changed, the Mabe pearls growing along the nucleus will also change accordingly, including heart-shaped, olive-shaped and teardrop-shaped. When harvesting, cut half of the pearl out of the shell, take out half of the nucleus, replace it with mother-of-pearl pieces, and then go through the post-processing of the basic pearls. After many processes, you can get the dream treasure of Mabe pearls .
