When I was in Beijing I went to the Li Heng Tang pearls store runned by the Chinese State. I’m only posting the pictures of the shop, but the Li Heng Tang has also its own fabric. In this shop you can find high quality of pearls of every size, some of the necklaces and rings are styled with diamonds. When I was there I was told how the process of making pearls jewelry works, one of the things I learned is that there are many different colors of pearls, they can naturally be black, pink, purple and gold, besides the classic white. It takes a lot of time to create the pearls, the smallest ones have to stay inside for at least two years, the ones in the main pictures of this post have been inside from ten and fifteen years. I was worried about what could happen after that the pearls are removed from the mollusk, it doesn’t die so it goes back in its tank and it is ready to make other pearls. In this gallery you will see some beautiful pieces, such as the black pearls necklace, the pearl and diamonds necklace and the baby pearls dress.
Durante i giorni in cui sono stata a Pechino sono stata nel negozio Li Heng Tang, un negozio di perle gestito dallo Stato Cinese. Il Li Heng Tang non è solo un semplice negozio, ma ha anche la sua fabbrica. In questo negozio potete trovare delle perle di alta qualità e di diverse dimensioni, ma anche collane e anelli di perle e diamanti. Mentre ero lì mi è stato mostrato il processo di fabbricazione delle perle, ho imparato che in natura possono esistere molti colori di perle, come il nero, oro, viola, rosa, oltre al classico bianco. Ci vuole molto tempo per creare una perla, ad esempio per delle perle piccole ci vogliono almeno due anni, mentre per le perle nella prima foto del post ci sono voluti tra i dieci e i quindici anni. Mi ero preoccupata di cosa sarebbe successo ai molluschi dopo che le perle fossero state tolte, non accade nulla in quanto i molluschi non muoiono, perciò vengono rimessi nelle loro vasche e sono pronti per creare altre perle. In questa gallery ci sono dei pezzi molto belli, come la collana di perle nere, collane di perle e diamanti, e un vestito di perle per bambini.
