Defects: |
The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable
it is. Some of the coating may be missing from around the holes of a few
pearls, or there may be some roughness in the coating around the holes.
Sometimes there are little sharp tags of coating sticking out from around
the holes; the best way to remove them is with cuticle nippers. There may
also be some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations or a
bit of dirt. Because pearls are lustrous, defects generally aren't visible
to the naked eye, but may be seen under a magnifying glass. |
