Though I have owned a baroque chocolate brown pearls that looks like wood or a beaded bracelet from a buddhist monk. I like wearing it bcoz it get's a lot of attention especially from men. And usually people who knows me follows my fashion sense and style.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But! I personally believe that white pearls are still the most beautiful that is why they are always in demand, resulting in higher prices. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And as what they said that a true Golden South Sea pearls are rarest but still they are not the highest prized. Why is that? There's a lot of good reasons...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;1. A white pearl will look bigger than a colored pearl of the same size. That is also the reason why weighty people are advised not to wear white t-shirts and wear black instead. Black has a slimming effect and white has a fattening effect.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;2. Throughout history. White is considered the color of perfection and beauty.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;3. There are few collectors for cultured pearls except for natural pearls and usually people buy cultured pearls as accessories and they only by white pearls bcoz it is the most beautiful and that is why they became the most expensive.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A perfect white diamond is the most beautiful diamond but they are not the most expensive. Red being the most expensive but still white diamonds are the most popular.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;4. Rarity does not really make the price. Red diamonds being the rarest makes them more expensive than white diamonds but when it comes to pearls. Golden pearls are rarest but white pearls are the highest price. And the reason for that is beauty and collectors. Collectors pays premium prices for fancy colored diamonds but there are fewer collectors for cultured pearls so the price for pearls are determine for beauty, fashion, rarity. They said that white diamonds are as plenty as peridots but would ytou buy a peridot for the price of diamonds? No! bcoz diamonds has more beauty than peridots.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472622061301074167/2804670990413241113/comments/default/505630216340835573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472622061301074167/2804670990413241113/comments/default/505630216340835573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.pearl-professor.com/2008/08/ballerina-pearl-company-what-have-you.html?showComment=1219245960000#c505630216340835573' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.pearl-professor.com/2008/08/ballerina-pearl-company-what-have-you.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472622061301074167.post-2804670990413241113' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472622061301074167/posts/default/2804670990413241113' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-451707733'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472622061301074167.post-1937782867182864272</id><published>2008-08-19T09:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-19T09:41:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh, but I do;) Check out the title on my profile. ...</title><content type='html'>Oh, but I do;) Check out the title on my profile.
