Five year after the free-trade deal between Hong Kong and China came into effect, the jewelry industry has yet to benefit from it.

The Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) between the two markets, which came into force on January 1, 2004, allows a range of Hong Kong –made products, including jewelry, to enter the mainland free of import duty.

However, Hong Kong jewelry manufacturers believe that it will take a while for them to fully enjoy the benefits of CEPA owing, among other things, to the “very complicated” rules in the mainland.

“The concept of CEPA is beneficial to our business, but its implementation is another question. China’s laws and regulations are very complicated and each province and city or town has different rules. There are no standard rules yet,”said King Li, chairman of the Hong Kong jewelry and jade Manufacturers Association.

Mr. Li said the association is in the process of finding out more about the guidelines to help its members avail themselves of CEPA’s benefit.

Another reason jewelry companies are in no rush to avail themselves of CEPA is the 17-percent value added tax that is automatically imposed on imported jewelry, making Hong Kong –made jewelry still not very competitive price-wise, said the chairman of the Hong Kong jewelry Manufacturers Association, Aaron Shum. This despite the waiving of the import tariff rates of between 23.3 percent and 35 percent under CEPA.

“The Chinese market is still not mature,”said Mr. Shum.” There are still many restrictions. However, CEPA has a good advertising effect for Hong Kong jewelry, Already, consumers in China perceive merchandise”

Manufacturers specializing in more upscale designs have also expressed hesitation about exploring the sales potential in China as they believe demand in the market for higher-end designs will remain limited in the next few years.

Mr. Li said: Best sellers in China at the moment are those pieces retailing from around US$200 to US$300 apiece. This means that there are limits on the materials a manufacturer can use in order for the jewelry to remain I that price range, One can make only very basic designs and use basic materials such as diamonds or jadeite Given this limitation, our jewelry will not be very competitive because our overheads and our workmanship cannot be covered at that price.”

There has been talk of an oversupply of smaller Tahitian pearls, but Mr. Gordon disagrees. “Annual Tahitian pearl production, from top to bottom quality, is between 8 to 10 tones. If we made these pearl into necklace, they would probably to produce 10000 to 12000 strands per year .Calculating that against the number of consumers in the world, we can see that oversupply never been an issue. 

What then is the issue? Perhaps promotion and marketing, he said.

“The Tahiti pearl industry has fallen into the trap of not realizing its own potential or that of unseen markets. This is probably because Tahiti industry is composed of many family-based small-to-medium-sized companies that may not be able to promote the pearl as effectively as larger companies and brands can,” he said.

He believe that we need to tell the story that often goes unheard by the consumer and reveal the romance that goes unnoticed- that of pearl farming . “The dedication, professionalism, technical expertise and sacrifice of the pearl farmers are something that is not realized by the consumer. Even within Tahiti pearl industry, many people do not realize the tremendous energy and devotion that goes into pearl farming. The pearls are grown in the most remote, inhospitable, but pristinely beautiful, place in the world. One must constantly make adjustments to the changing environment of the sea and pay careful attention to the growing pearls, like that of a mother to a baby, on a daily, even hourly, basis. It is this tender care that gives the pearls their moon-like warmth and is the story that we need to tell to the consumer.

Indeed, perfectly round pearls are actually quite rare. This is because the eventual shape of the pearl is determined by a number of highly variable factors which occur inside the oyster as the pearl is developing. For example, the pearl often assumes the same shape as its nucleus (the irritant which was placed inside the oyster to initiate the formation of the pearl). If the nucleus is not perfectly round, the resulting pearl is likely to reflect this irregularity. In addition, the pearl's positioning within the oyster also plays a role in determining its shape. If the pearl develops against the shell, for example, it will become more flattened on that side.

Pearl experts generally divide pearl shapes into three broad categories, based on their overall characteristics:

 Round pearl

Round pearls are perfectly spherical -- Round pearls are rarely perfect spheres unless they are of gem quality or imitation. The longer the pearl remains within the oyster or mussel, the more chance there is of it developing a different shape. Contrary to the images portrayed in films very large round pearls are uncommon - and very expensive. Even seawater pearls, which have a round shell bead as their nucleus, have a hard time keeping their shape as they grow. Increasing the size of bead increases the mortality rate of the oyster. Many of the largest, most beautiful pearls come from the South Seas

OFF-ROUND PEARLS

The term off-round is used to describe pearls which are 'roundish' to the eye but have a slightly oval or flattened shape. They can still have excellent qualities in terms of lustre or lack of blemish but being off-round makes them less expensive. Before the cultured pearl industry began in the early 1900's most natural wild pearls were off-round or baroque (a general term for an irregular shape). Off round pearls can provide excellent value for money.

OVAL PEARLS

Oval pearls are sometimes also known as rice pearls although this is a slightly misleading term. It comes from the early days of Chinese freshwater pearl production when large numbers of low quality pearls came onto the market and were derided as 'rice-crispies' after the cereal. Today, Chinese freshwater pearls can compete in quality with the world's best. Oval pearls come in a variety of sizes and colours. Sometimes they are formed when two pearls growing close to one another in the same mollusc join together.

BUTTON PEARLS

Many of these are button pearls, so-called because of their distinctive shape - round on one side and flat on the other. Button pearls are flattened to some degree, making them resemble a button or perhaps a disk rather than a perfect sphere. These pearls are often used in earrings, where the flattened side can be attached to the setting. Buttons are also categorized as symmetrical.

BIWA PEARLS

The term 'Biwa' derives from Lake Biwa - a large freshwater lake near Kyoto in Japan. This was once the focus of the Japanese freshwater pearl industry. In the 1980's pearl production there virtually ceased due to industrial pollution. Biwa became a generic name for all freshwater pearls regardless of their shape. Technically it is incorrect to call pearls Biwa pearls (like French fries or English muffins) unless they actually come from Lake Biwa. We use the term simply to identify the unique shape of these particular pearls.

Sterling stud earrings

The main characteristic of stud earrings is the appearance of floating on the ear or earlobe without a visible (from the front) point of connection. Studs are invariably constructed on the end of a post, which penetrates straight through the ear. The post is held in place by a removable friction back or clutch. It is appropriate for any occasions.

 Leveback earrings

Leverback give a secure way to wear the earring and will not bring the trouble of sticking your hair.

 Dangle earrings

Dangle earrings are designed to flow from the bottoms of the earlobes, and are available in various lengths, They are generally attached to the ear by the use of thin wires, which go through the earlobe and connect to themselves in a small hook at the back. A variation is the French hook design, which merely hangs from the earlobe without closure;

Hoop earrings

hoop earrings are circular or semi-circular in design, and look very similar to a ring. They are often constructed of metal tubing, with a thin wire attachment penetrating the ear. The hollow tubing is permanently attached to the wire at the front of the ear, and slips into the tube at the back. The entire device is held together by tension between the wire and the tube.



Chandelier earrings

This style of earring has multi-level branches that hang down from the earring base.Normally gemstone briolettes hang from the branches.Chandelier earring just add some kind of exotic feeling.

Spring Ring Clasps

A spring ring clasp opens when you push backwards on a little lever that slides along a circular ring. Once the clasp is open you simply insert the chain or loop that's attached to the piece you're connecting into the open circle, then release the lever to return it to the closed position. There's a tiny spring inside the clasp that puts pressure on the mechanism to keep the spring ring shut until you decide to open it again.

Spring ring clasps are commonly used to secure necklaces, bracelets and anklets, but some people have a difficult time operating very tiny spring ring clasps by themselves. Clasps that attach to a good sized loop that you can handle easily--or to a rigid piece--are easier to handle.

Lobster Claw Clasps

Its name explains the general look of lobster claw clasps, but you can see in the photo that the look varies and can be fashioned to suit the jewelry the clasps are used to secure.

A lobster claw clasp has a tiny spring in its mechanism that keeps the arm closed until you push on the lever.

Lobster claws are secure clasps that are a popular for bracelets, necklaces and anklets. They're somewhat easier to open and close by yourself than spring ring clasps are.

Box Clasps

Box clasps are two-piece clasps that open when you push down on the exterior lever of a wedge-shaped piece of metal, compressing it so that it slides out of the opening. Push it back in and it clicks into place.

Box clasps are easy to use, but often do not have as much strength as lobster claw clasps. Box clasps can be plain or decorative and you'll find them in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Toggle Clasps

Toggle clasps are two-piece clasps that are attached to opposite ends of a piece of jewelry. One section of the clasp is formed into a circle or other shape with an open center. The other half is a thick bar that attaches to the components at the other end. When you insert the "T" into the circle extends past the circle's edges to hold the jewelry in place.

Toggle clasps are widely used to secure bracelets and anklets, but jewelry artisans also incorporate them into their necklace designs. They are available in numerous sizes and designs. Toggle clasps are not as secure as clasps that have a lock-type closure!

Decorative Clasps

Some clasps play a major role in jewelry design, like the heart clasp used in the bracelet shown on this page.

Determine how secure the clasps are, especially when buying fine jewelry .hen you begin to pay attention to clasps you'll appreciate their contribution to jewelry design and functionality.

Mabe Pearls are quite different from what you might consider “normal” pearls. The reason for this stems from the way that mabe pearls are formed. Mabe pearls are considered to be “semi-spherical cultured pearls”. Instead of growing inside the body of the mollusk creature, as is the case with other pearls, mabe pearls grow against the inside shell.

This process causes mabe pearls to have a flat side, as opposed to being relatively spherical, or at least rounded like standard pearls. This also explains why mabe pearls are frequently called “half pearls”. Mabe pearls are most frequently produced within saltwater oysters within the regions of Japan, Indonesia, Australia, and French Polynesia.

Mabe pearls come in a wide range of beautiful colors, which span from light pinks, to more bluish shades. The unique nacre of the mabe oyster allows for hues that are quite brilliant and rainbow-like. Their brilliance is quite breathtaking at times, especially in the rarest color, which consists of pink with gold swirls. It is this type of color which brings the value to the mabe pearls, as well as their rare superiority in texture and luster. Though they are quite lovely to look at, they will not be as expensive or valuable as “round” pearls due to the flat side.

To culture a mabe pearl, the process is different than culturing round pearls. It is accomplished by inserting the nucleus flush against the side of the mollusk – which is the Mabe pearl oyster called Pteria penguin – causing the oyster to make its nacre deposits over the nucleus, and against the inside of its shell, forming a semi-spherical pearl. The Mabe pearl oyster, also referred to as the penguin wing oyster – is what is used as the mother shell for Mabe pearls. These are highly distributed across the world’s tropical and semi-tropical seas, making them readily available to many pearl farmers at different ends of the globe. Most commonly, however, the highest quality, most beautiful mabe pearls come from the Amami Ohima Islands off the southern coast of Japan, at the species’ most northern reach of distribution.

Due to this one flattened side, mabe pearls become the ideal choice for jewelry such as earrings and rings which allow for a secure setting, and a concealed flat back.

The mabe pearl first reached its popularity in the end of the 19th century, and from that time until the mid 20th century, many different efforts were made to attempt to cultivate the mabe pearl – most of which were in vein. Many hearts were broken, and most tries were fruitless. However, some pearl farmers continued to persevere with their research, and finally established breeding techniques for the mabe pearl oyster in 1970, followed five years later by the mass production of cultured pearl harvests.

Today, the production of cultured mabe pearls has become quite stable, and the results are absolutely gorgeous. Depending on the desired size, 2 to 6 years are needed for each pearl. However, for those who enjoy the mabe pearl, it’s well worth the wait.
