Summary
⟡⟡⟡
"The quality of a pearl is judged mainly from four aspects: color, size, shape and smoothness. Color refers to the refraction, diffraction or interference of light waves caused by the subtle physical structure of the biological body surface. The shape and size of the pearl is related to the thickness of the nacreous layer and the deposition mode of calcium carbonate crystal, and the smoothness of the pearl is closely related to the structure of the pearl layer."
Everyone knows that pearls are made in accordance with their owner’s wishes. Pearl, though, belongs to No One.
