Are the pearls taken out by those who killed live mussels in the street true?

pearls are really real by killing mussels, but the quality and size of pearls are uneven, and there are basically no so-called upper pearls.

I have lived in Qingdao seaside for several years, and I have seen "killing mussels to get pearls", and I know something about it. Most of the people I met bought live mussels from merchants and killed them to get pearls. Most of them were tourists who came to Qingdao. Locals hardly bought these mussels to get pearls. Tourists buy this kind of live mussels, some have no pearls after opening, while others have more than ten pearls after opening, but these pearls are not very good in appearance and uneven in size. If tourists are interested, they will make bracelets for children. If they are not interested, they should spend money to buy them for fun. After all, these mussels are not expensive.

But the pearls in these mussels are all real, just different from the pearls naturally produced in the past. These are all artificially raised mussels. In the process of mussel growth, people often put foreign objects in the mussels to get more pearls faster, and then think that it will promote the growth of pearls.

In the past, pearls were very expensive. Why? Because pearls in the past were all naturally produced, there was often only one pearl in a naturally growing clam. Such pearls were perfect in appearance and large in size, so they were expensive because they were rare. But now that people have mastered the skills of raising mussels and producing pearls, they have produced a large number of pearls, which greatly reduced the cost of pearls. Therefore, apart from a small amount of natural pearls, pearls will only become cheaper and cheaper now.

The live mussels that people buy in the street are often mussels with poor appearance or poor pearl quantity left by merchants after a series of screening, and then they can be used for people to "kill the mussels and get the pearls" in the street at a cheap price.

I have seen it in a friend's house in Huangdao, Qingdao before. Whether their mussels produce good pearls or not can be identified by farmers through experience observation, but they can't be identified individually. People may miss it in the street, but it is rare. And mussels with good pearls and big pearls will be sold to jewelers for more profits. So the live mussels we bought on the street are actually mussels with poor pearl quality.

What are the disadvantages of pearls in these mussels sold in the street?

For example, pearls are too small to be made into bracelets and other accessories; For example, there are threads on pearls that are not smooth enough, or there are flaws on pearls, so they can't be bought at a good price after being made into ornaments, and often a pearl costs three or four dollars. Therefore, all the people I met in Qingdao who bought live mussels and took pearls were tourists, and the locals would hardly join in the fun.

The really good pearls often grow in the muscle tissue of mussels, and are covered with a film, so it is difficult to take them out, and the price is naturally not low. So you should understand why killing live mussels to get pearls on the street is real, but the price is very cheap. If you really like pearls, it is still recommended to go to a regular merchant to buy them. Don't be greedy and buy pearls taken out of this live clam on the street.

Speaking of the live mussels taking pearls, I thought that when I visited a scenic spot last year, I saw a lot of vendors taking pearls from live mussels, and each vendor was surrounded by a group of tourists. I also joined in the fun to have a look. The mussels were chosen by myself, and the pearls were all tourists'. If you want to use pearls as jewelry, you can make them by hand. So this is now.

In fact, taking pearls from this live clam is similar to gambling on jade, because it's all luck that you can't see whether there is anything in it. Some mussels have many pearls, while others have only one or two pearls. In fact, although these pearls are real, they are not valuable. In fact, pearls are only secreted by mussels after foreign bodies appear inside them. At present, mussels on the market are basically cultured artificially. In order to produce pearls in mussels, people will deliberately add foreign bodies to the water during cultivation, so there will be more or less pearls in cultured mussels. These cultured pearls are not valuable, so many people take pearls from scenic spots or large collections after seeing consumers' ignorance of pearls, which is to seize people's curiosity about new things.

In addition to selling mussels, these vendors who open mussels for pearls will also make pearls into bracelets and other jewelry. I once saw a woman open more than a dozen pearls at a time, and at the instigation of vendors, she spent 4 to 5 yuan to make a bracelet, so these vendors who open mussels not only sell mussels to earn money, but also process pearls to earn manual fees.

Nowadays, there are more and more vendors who open mussels for pearls in rural streets. Many people are curious to buy a mussel to see how many pearls can be produced. Although the pearls are real, the quality is actually very poor, large and small, so there is no need to pay for their curiosity. What do you think?

Are the pearls taken out by those who killed live mussels in the street true?

The Spring Festival is coming to an end, and the rural market towns are getting busy. In the market town on the farmer's hometown, the market opens after the sixth day of every year, and many people will come to the market to sell goods. The most lively event in the month is the Lantern Festival, and people from nearby villages will come to the fair, which is very lively. Among them, some vendors will sell live mussels and kill pearls now. So is the pearl taken out like this true?

I can tell you for sure that the pearls taken out by these live mussels are genuine pearls, but their quality is not high. The farmer used to spend tens of dollars to open a few live mussels out of curiosity, and then put the pearls out to string a bracelet for his daughter. It is estimated that many people have bought them, and it is not expensive to process these killed live mussels with pearls. Only one live mussel is in 3 yuan, and there will be many pearls among them, the number is within 1, and there are more than ten. Although the number is large, the particles are not large. So if you are making bracelets, you only need to buy a few, and the more you buy, the cheaper the price will be.

In many people's impression, pearls are very expensive. Why are these pearls so cheap? And there are so many pearls in a live clam, is it true? It is estimated that many people are very clear about the reasons for the formation of pearls. When mussels eat pebbles, they will normally excrete them, but some pebbles cannot be excreted. At this time, mussels will secrete some nacre to wrap the foreign objects and make them smooth. As time goes on, they will gradually form pearl sacs and then form pearls. In the past, pearls were mainly natural, and because natural pearls were scarce, they were expensive. Now, most of the pearls sold in the market are cultured pearls. Some foreign bodies are put into mussels by surgery, and then cultured. Due to the large number of cultured pearls, the prices of these pearls are not expensive. However, the pearls taken out of the clams that are now killed in the market are all cultured artificially, and the culture cycle is short, and the cost is low because of large-scale culture. Therefore, although these pearls are true, they are not expensive because of their small size and low quality. This is the same reason as rural native chickens and feed chickens in farms. Although they are all chickens, the quality of meat is different and the processing is also very different because of different breeding methods.

hello, developing agriculture through science will help you.

pearls are very popular among many female friends, and some women use pearl powder for beauty. Pearls are precious in the eyes of many friends, but we can often see people selling live mussels in scenic spots and streets.

The first time I saw this kind of street selling live mussels was during a trip, when I saw it near a tourist attraction in the northern inland area. At that time, I thought it was absolutely a lie. There was no suitable environment for mussels to grow in the local area, and the price was quite cheap. At that time, there were quite a few people who bought it, so I went to have a look and found that pearls could really be opened, and the boss could also process pearls into jewelry, which many female friends liked very much. At that time, I felt that it was a bit like gambling stones. Later, it was found that there were quite a lot of cases of taking pearls from live mussels, and even live mussels were sold online, and it was guaranteed that pearls would be released from them. These live mussels can usually produce more than five pearls, and sometimes they can produce pearls with unique colors.

I believe many friends will be as curious as I am as to whether these pearls are real? Why is the price so cheap? In fact, this is related to the cultivation of pearls. Most of the pearls produced by these live mussels can be said to be true, but the quality of pearls will be much worse than that of expensive ones.

There are many kinds of pearls, including freshwater pearls, seawater pearls, natural pearls, cultured pearls, etc. Different pearls will have different prices according to their different qualities. At present, the vast majority of pearls on the market belong to cultured pearls. Expensive pearls are generally excellent in color, size, roundness and color, and such high-quality pearls generally need to be carefully selected. Moreover, at present, the technology of artificial breeding of pearls is quite mature, and the characteristics of pearl mussels such as large pearl production and short pearl production time make the cost of artificial breeding of pearl mussels lower, and the price of pearls is also lower. Some pearls with poor quality will naturally be cheaper.

The live mussels we buy on the street are generally bad mussels that have been rejected, and some are even inferior pearls that have been opened by unscrupulous merchants and put in after taking out high-quality pearls. Because most of these businesses that open live mussels are in scenic spots, this is a good place to "kill customers", and businesses without profits will not do this business. Therefore, it is not easy to produce high-quality pearls through live mussels. (3)

Q: Someone killed a live clam in the street to get pearls. Is the pearls taken out real or fake?

From this question, Kalopanax septemlobus can obviously feel someone's wrong cognition of pearls.

When it comes to pearls, many people think that they are rare treasures, and the same is true of juniper, which is largely influenced by the costume drama. In the costume drama, when you open the box containing gold and silver jewelry, you will see pearls mixed with gold and silver.

It is incredible to know that there are people who kill live mussels to get pearls in the street. I think it must be a street trick played by mobile vendors. Is this kind of pearl real or fake?

1. The live mussels killed in the street are farmed artificially

In the past, pearls were generally produced by deep-sea wild mussels, which were pure natural, and it was difficult to obtain them, and the quantity was small and precious.

At present, all the cultured pearls are freshwater pearls. By putting the model into the mussel, the mussel is stimulated by the model to produce nacre, and the surface of the model will be covered with a layer of pearl film, which will be produced in three years after being raised for a long time and shipped in a short year, so it is worthless.

second, high-quality pearls are rare, which is one in a million.

There are not many high-quality pearls, so they are precious. There is no doubt that it is impossible to sell pearls on the street if they are precious.

Ordinary people hope to spend tens of dollars on a mussel to get hundreds or even thousands of pearls, which is tantamount to whimsy. Even if they are lucky, vendors may go back on their word and not sell.

In fact, the quality of pearls is not whether they are farmed or wild, but their surface texture and scars are few and smooth, the color is bright, the precious layer is thick and bright, and the shape is positive and round.

3. It's just a gimmick for vendors to sell pearls on the street.

If vendors sell pearls directly on the street, people may not believe their authenticity, and they will take the method of killing and selling pearls now, so that people can watch the whole process of taking pearls. No one will doubt the facts they saw with their own eyes, and their doubts will be dispelled.

Kalopanax septemlobus admires the clever brains of vendors. Through this model, its business should be very good. But this will only work for a while. Over time, when people's curiosity weakens and their freshness decreases, there are not many people who buy it.

I have seen pearls taken from mussels in rural markets before, and these pearls are all real. At that time, mussels were only sold. One mussel was 15 yuan. If there were no pearls in mussels, they were returned to 15 yuan. If there were pearls, all the pearls in mussels were yours.

At that time, many people bought mussels, took pearls on the spot and processed pearl necklaces on the spot, and the processing fee was five yuan. In fact, the happiest thing is to open mussels. Some mussels have more than ten pearls in their bodies, while others have only five or six pearls, depending on who is lucky. At that time, a man opened five or six mussels with only 3 pearls and spent 9 yuan. Finally, the boss didn't charge him for pearl processing. Another person is very lucky. When two mussels are opened, there are 28 pearls, and the size and style of pearls are very beautiful.

pearls are formed only when there are foreign bodies in mussels. Pearls are also called "tears" of mussels. Now some people raise mussels artificially, and artificially fill them with foreign bodies such as sand to make them produce pearls. There are few pearls in the wild mussels, so they are considered rare and expensive. In fact, the price of pearls is still relatively cheap, and the quality is different and the price is different. Pearl is taken from the scene in the rural market. It is real, but the quality is uneven, so the price is cheap.

nowadays, pearls are not rare by artificial breeding of mussels, and the price of ordinary pearls is relatively affordable, so there is no need to cheat when taking mussel pearls on the spot. Have you ever seen pearls taken from the scene? Tell me your opinion.

Are the pearls taken out by those who killed live mussels in the street true?

When I was a child, I had a dream that I could have a pearl when I grew up. My love for pearls came from watching movies, watching TV and reading books. From the ancient people's recognition of the value of pearls, I simply thought that pearls were a kind of jewelry and a priceless treasure.

Later, I bought a pearl necklace on a trip, and the price was tens of dollars. I didn't think that I had changed my belief in pearl worship, but simply thought that I had bought a fake one.

I didn't realize that pearls are not worth mentioning in today's society until I saw others directly open mussels and get pearls with knives in the street. They are cheap things that can be bought for a few dollars.

I was particularly unconvinced, so I went to understand the formation and value of pearls with doubts, and wanted to know why pearls with high prices would be reduced to ordinary worthless things.

The formation of pearls is like entering a grain of sand in people's eyes, but people will try their best to get it out. However, mussels can't excrete the sand completely, and some tiny sand has to stay in their bodies. In this case, mussels themselves secrete a substance to wrap the sand, which is wrapped layer by layer. The wrapped sand is pearls in mussels, because those secretions have good nutritional and medicinal values.

I have to say that people are very clever animals, and some people see the extraordinary value of pearls and try their best to carry them out.
