    What I personally find interesting about pearls is that they're the only birthstone that isn't a rock, like you get a rock, you get a rock x10, you get an ossified mollusk cyst lmfao

    What makes Pearls beautiful is the patina after wear. The Pearl reacts off the oils in the skin and the more they're worn, the more beautiful the patina. Fake Pearls don't acquire a patina.

    Real or fake, they all still look like plastic, I don't get it 🤷 The more uneven organic-looking shapes are much nicer IMO and there are ones in other colors (I've seen small red ones) that are much prettier and don't look like thrift store costume jewelry

    I don't understand why people keep buying real pearls instead of fake pearls, other than it being a status symbol. Fake pearls look just as nice (or close to it) and no sea creatures had to die to make them. (There are of course ways to harvest real pearls without killing the mollusk, which is shown in the video, but most likely you're not going to be sure, when you buy pearls, which method was used to harvest them.)

    • @xchemicalXladybugx
      @xchemicalXladybugx Год назад +6

      Because fake pearls are often made of plastic, paints, fish scales, or glass. The manufacturing of fake pearls, the materials needed to make them, and the transportation of materials are bad for the environment.
      Oysters can be farmed or wild caught and eaten

    • @AdeleiTeillana
      @AdeleiTeillana Год назад +1

      @@xchemicalXladybugx That's not "because". It might be your "because", but the majority of people don't consider the environment when considering what to buy. I'm positive that "safer for the environment" has little or nothing to do with why most people who buy real pearls choose to buy them rather fake ones.

      Lol maybe buy the real one as an investment wear it time to time on special occasions but for the most part preserve them in a jewelry case and sell later simple, that's why you don't buy fakes because you should make money from your investment also buy other gems and precious metals, for the most part they gain value, at the least the retain value, and not lose value like fiat cash does through inflation

      Humans are collectors. We do like some shiny rocks or arts. However, I know my skincare product has a thing called pear powder, made from crushed pearls. Pearls are kind of a traditional medicine? I think for some sort digestive or heart problems. Especially when you combine it with other herbs, I think it's absorption power is most notable.
      We tend to dismiss many as useless. But you just haven't found use in them. Another's trash, is another's treasure. Just like it's easy to dismiss art when one is not interested, but it can encourage and inspire someone to actions or whatever. Nourish their creativity, be a balm to their soul.
      Anything in this world has a use to a mind that seek it. A mind that seeks, is a mind with purpose. Because if we don't believe so, then humans are truly a pointless existence, just as pointless as a rock that exist merely to just exist. Because if we don't believe we have a purpose, our lives are empty and meaningless.
      Our purpose is anything that we choose, that we name. Things just exist without a name, till we name them. It's easy for us to give others such as the trees and clouds a purpose, by simply describing what they do and putting a name on it. Surely, we can name ourselves too. Give ourselves a purpose.
