Diffusion is another method occasionally used particularly on blue sapphires. During treatment, a colorless sapphire is coated with a titanium and oxide compound and exposed to heat. This enhances and/or changes the color of the stone and does not generally require special treatment. Irradiation is often used with blue topaz. The stone is irradiated
brown and then heated to produce the blue color. Irradiated stones do not
require special care.
A natural pearl is formed in the wild by the random intrusion of a natural irritant into a mollusk's shell, without the intervention of man. There are few natural pearls on the general consumer jewelry market today. A cultured pearl is also grown by nature but with the assistance of man. This patented process involves the insertion of a "nucleus" into the oyster. The oyster is then carefully nurtured for the desired type of pearl. The quality of cultured pearls varies and is judged by the pearl's luster, surface, shape, color and size. The black cultured pearls in our collection come from Japan, China or the South Seas. Japanese or Chinese cultured pearls are dyed black through processes referred to as "irradiation" or "French Dyeing." Irradiation involves bombarding a pearl with gamma rays, which blacken the shell bead of the pearl's nucleus. A "French dyed" pearl is half-drilled and submerged in a black dye chemical. The dye moves from the inside layers to the outside layers and then takes to the calcium carbonate coating of the pearl. The color achieved is even and holds for many years.
An imitation pearl is a manufactured product composed of any material or materials that simulate in appearance a natural or cultured pearl.
