看完就知道「人造珍珠」到底是不是珍珠?值得買嗎?

Updated: May 24

近年來珍珠飾品成為大熱趨勢,相信很多女生在入手的過程中都會遇到疑問,所以今天跟大家分享飾品中的主要珍珠材質,解構人造珍珠,給各位女生參考,看完再也不用擔心了!


Pearl Jewelry has become a huge trend, and I believe many girls have encountered doubts in the process of acquiring it.



人造珍珠


問:店主經常遇到客人問這個是珍珠嗎?什麼叫人造珍珠?


答:人造珍珠其實是仿製珍珠,不屬於珠寶,也沒有珠寶等級,只是一種工藝品。


Question:  What is artificial pearl?


Answer: Artificial pearls are actually imitation pearls, not jewelry, and do not have the same grade as jewelry. They are just a kind of craft product.


常見人造珍珠大致分為什麼類


(1)ABS高亮珍珠


就是在樹脂料外面塗上珍珠顏料,讓它看起來很美,又有很好的光澤。這種材質容易加工,尺寸很穩定,它的顏色做得很均勻,光澤當然沒有天然珍珠的靈動感。勝在手感很輕身,大尺寸的話,用真的珍珠價格超級貴不說,耳朵也難以承受那個重量。

(2)玻璃珍珠


就是在玻璃球表面覆了一層類似珍珠質的閃光薄膜,拿在手上比較有分量感,由於是人工合成,所以形狀一定是正圓、完美,表面沒有任何瑕疵,表面擁有強光,可以耐得住刮擦。



(3)貝珠


貝珠分兩種,一種是珍珠粉擠壓滾制而成;一種是用天然的海水貝殼打磨拋光而成。前者鍍膜製成,後者從材質上和真的珍珠很像,也不易褪色。貝珠因為是人工製作,比天然珍珠更容易成型,所以當你仔細觀察一串貝珠項鍊時,你會發現每一顆貝珠的大小都會非常一致,拿上手輕身。珍珠因為是天然而成的,形狀不好控制,因此世界上是沒有兩顆大小完全一致的珍珠的。每一顆珍珠都會有細微的大小偏差。


The common types of artificial pearls are roughly as follows:


(1) ABS high-gloss pearls


It is a resin material coated with pearl pigment on the outside, making it look very beautiful and have a good luster. This material is easy to process, the size is very stable, the luster is good, the surface is very easy to color, and the color is very even. But the luster is not as dynamic as natural pearls. The advantage is that it feels very light. A 10mm size earring stud using real pearls would be extremely expensive, and the ear would also be difficult to bear the weight. Several classic pearl earrings from international top brands use this type of pearl, with very even coloring, but the luster is not as good as natural pearls.


(2) Glass pearls


It is a glass ball with a layer of pearl-like shiny film on the surface. It has a sense of weight when held in the hand. Since it is artificially synthesized, the shape is definitely round and perfect, and the surface has no defects, with a strong luster and can withstand scratches, which also has its advantages.


(3) Shell pearls


There are two types of shell pearls, one is made by compressing and rolling pearl powder, and the other is made by polishing and grinding natural seashells. The former is coated, and the latter is very similar to real pearls in terms of material and is not easy to fade. Shell pearls are easier to shape than natural pearls because they are artificially made, so when you carefully observe a string of shell pearl necklaces, you will find that each shell pearl is very consistent in size, and it feels light when held. Natural pearls are naturally formed, so their shape is difficult to control, and there are no two pearls of exactly the same size in the world. Each pearl will have a slight size difference.




問:人造珍珠會不會掉皮?


答:人造珍珠長時間護理不好會有掉皮。雖然如此,人造珍珠不是真的珍珠,但若是工藝好也一樣值得選購。


我們選配飾的意義就是在能力範圍內買自己喜歡的首飾,恰如其分的獎勵自己!心動的飾品從來沒有標準,就因為那一剎瞬入你的眼,戳了你的心。


更何況,天然珍珠要大又正圓單一顆也要上千了, 還是重要考慮買回來要保養。時間久了光線又會變得暗淡,而且珍珠和鑽石一樣買了就會貶值。


Question: Will artificial pearls peel off?


Answer: Artificial pearls may peel off if not properly cared for over a long period of time. Although artificial pearls are not real pearls, if the craftsmanship is good, they are still worth buying.


The meaning of choosing jewelry is to buy the jewelry you like within your ability, and to appropriately stimulate yourself! There is no standard for the jewelry that touches your heart, just because that instant it caught your eye and touched your heart.


問:誰帶起珍珠熱潮?


答:講到帶起珍珠熱潮一定要數到香奈兒,從當初的珍珠珠寶配飾,到後來出現在包袋的鏈條上,再到現在Tweed Jacket小香風的夾克都開始出現珍珠的紐扣元素。


很多人不知道的是,香奈兒的珍珠基本都是人造珍珠。但其實,香奈兒最初開始使用珍珠,卻是為了讓買不起真珍珠的女士,也能靠自己佩戴珍珠飾品。話說當年的珍珠只有天然珍珠,象徵著皇權。即使後來珍珠可以養殖,女人們還是要靠有錢的丈夫或者情人,才能有機會佩戴。


為了讓女生戴出自信,Coco強調「用聰明的方式佩戴去展現珍珠價值」,所以請來了當時最好的琉璃坊為Chanel護航,匠心滿分這種珍珠能夠持久地保持其光澤,足以達到與真品相仿的效果,而且不容易被刮傷。其中具有代表性的作品,就是層層疊疊的珍珠項鍊。天然珍珠會氧化發黃,而上乘工藝讓珍珠保持光澤,讓珍珠飾品延續成奢侈品。



Question: Who started the pearl trend?


Answer: When it comes to the pearl craze, Chanel must be mentioned. From the original pearl jewelry accessories, to the later appearance of the chain on the handbag, and now the pearl buttons on the Tweed jacket in the small Chanel style.


Many people don't know that Chanel's pearls are mostly artificial pearls.


However, Chanel initially started using pearls in order to allow ladies who couldn't afford real pearls to also wear pearl jewelry. At that time, pearls were only natural pearls, symbolizing royal power. Even after pearls could be cultivated, women still had to rely on their wealthy husbands or lovers to have the opportunity to wear them.


In order to allow women to wear pearls with confidence, Coco emphasized "using smart ways to wear pearls to demonstrate their value", so she invited the best glass craftsmen at the time to support Chanel, with excellent craftsmanship, allowing these pearls to maintain their luster for a long time, and achieve an effect similar to the real thing, and not easily scratched. The representative work is the multilayer pearl necklace.


Natural pearls will oxidize and turn yellow, while superior craftsmanship keeps the pearls lustrous and makes pearl jewelry a lasting luxury.
