Jewelry from Majorica pearls has recently become increasingly popular among fashionistas and lovers of exquisite jewelry. This type of material stores an inexhaustible number of possibilities for creating beautiful things. And in the hands of masters exclusive copies are born from it. What is it - the pearls of Majorica, what are the features of creating and caring for it? Most likely, every woman who has become the owner of jewelry from these wonderful beads is interested in these questions.

Majorica pearls owe their creation to Spanish jewelers, who, through careful research, were able to create a technology that creates pearls that are identical to natural ones. The famous Spanish brand has many fans in many countries., and in Russia as well. After all, the factory’s products are made from high-quality pearls, complemented by various metals, including silver and gold, semiprecious and synthetic stones. All this together creates very beautiful jewelry.

The factory itself is located on the island of Mallorca. Here are located research laboratories, and production facilities, and design studios, and other structural units, whose work is aimed at delivering the products of their factory to stores in Spain and other countries.

The main office is located in Barcelona, ​​and also has a branch in New York. Factory products can be found on store shelves in hundreds of countries. Catalogs representing various jewelry are updated several times a year and contain more than 600 different items.For jewelry made in the factory, the manufacturer gives a guarantee for ten years. And this means that the manufacturer is confident in the quality of their products.

It all began in the XVIII century, when a German engineer in France discovered an interesting method with which you can make beads of amazing beauty. He patented this method, and he himself moved to the island of Mallorca, where pearl production began.

Thanks to painstaking work, modern technology and careful monitoring of the entire production chain, specialists create artificial pearls of the perfect color, the necessary tint, shine, the right texture and high strength. The birth of every pearl is the painstaking work of professionals. Creating one can take ten days, or maybe a month. The creation process is identical to what happens in the sink. Crystal glass is coated with pearl essence - layer by layer. It is a combination of marine organic elements (pearl dust, fish scales), thanks to which then the pearl acquires its overflow.

After the crystal is coated with essence, after drying it is carefully polished. Then such stages can be from 20 to 40. The more there are, the more valuable the pearl. Each layer undergoes a thorough polishing process. And the final stage is coating the resulting beads with mother of pearl. After which it is subjected to ultraviolet treatment.

Majorica has certain properties that make it easy to understand that before us is a quality organic pearl, not a cheap fake.

• If the pearl is white, it shimmers in the sun, and in this overflow you can catch the shades of the rainbow. Her radiance speaks of high quality.
• In addition, the pearl has a characteristic luster that resembles the surface of a satin.
• It is important that the pearl should have an even smooth texture over the entire surface. No smallest turbidity, scratches, dents, chips are allowed.
• "Mallorica" ​​is distinguished by high strength. It is resistant to environmental influences and can last a long time. Sun rays, salt water, cosmetic compounds - all this does not have any destructive effect on the beads.
• This type of pearl can have any color and shade, which allows you to create a variety of jewelry. The desired shade is achieved by adding natural dyes. For example, to get a soft lilac shade, add manganese in the process of making beads. Iron is involved in the creation of red tones. Copper helps in obtaining green shades.

Jewelry from this type of pearl has many positive aspects. Based on the characteristics of the beads themselves, we can conclude that jewelry will have the same advantages.

• First of all, these jewelry can be very diverse in style and design. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings will be a great addition to any outfit - evening and everyday. They are able to cheer up their owner and give confidence in themselves, because they look elegant and original.
• Manufacturing technology allows you to make jewelry of different colors with a combination of metals, including precious. When using various jewelry accessories as an addition in the hands of the master, real works of art are born.
• Resistance to external factors will allow the decoration to last a long time, and with proper care it will not lose its original appearance. Over time, the beads will not lose their rainbow luster and will not crack due to special manufacturing technology.This can not be said about natural pearls, which require certain wearing conditions, over time, it may lose its luster and crack if it is used incorrectly. Natural pearls have moisture that evaporates over time. Therefore, periodically pearls need a moist environment.
• Majorica beads have a flawless shape. They can be medium and large, but always smooth and shiny, with a different range of shades. Pearls are of average weight, it is felt that this, of course, is not plastic. But you can’t call them heavy either. Wearing earrings with these beads is quite comfortable for the ears.
• Absolutely everyone can use these jewelry. If natural pearls may have restrictions on the zodiac sign, then these beads will suit everyone.
• The pluses include the fact that such a jewelry can afford almost every woman. Of course, the cost will depend on what other elements are used in the decoration: metals, stones, materials. The cost will depend on how many beads are used in the decoration. It is clear that earrings or a ring will cost less (if precious metals are not present in the manufacture) than long beads, a massive necklace or bracelet from several sets.

By cons include very few factors. Perhaps, for those who do not accept any kind of artificial jewelry, it will become a defect to know that pearls are grown in special laboratories. Another subtlety is that these pearls are not suitable for any magical rituals or fulfill the role of amulets and charms, since they do not possess the characteristics of a natural stone.

Any item, especially a piece of jewelry, needs care. Then it will last a long time and will not lose its attractiveness. The same applies to this type of pearl. It’s easy to follow a few rules.

1. Despite the fact that the coating is considered durable, careful handling is necessary. Water and the sun are not afraid of pearls. But mechanical action is best avoided. Do not throw jewelry, hit a hard surface. In this case, chips may appear on the product.
2. It is recommended to store the bracelet or necklace in a separate soft bag so that there is no contact with other jewelry. A casket is also suitable, but it is desirable that it does not have jewelry with sharp elements.
