5. Akoya beading without certificate
There are some normal questions which customers asked.
1. Are akoya beads without a certificate bad ? Can't circulate in the market ?
No,The certificate is an identification of the quality of pearls, and it is necessary to pay a fee to take it to an identification agency for identification. I myself have an akoya pearl necklace without certificate, the skin and blemishes are better than the flower beads with real research certificate.
If you are an experienced user who can tell the difference between skin light and imperfections, then you can judge based on your own experience. Some of the beads without a certificate are completely above the level of flower beads, but the pearl dealer does not want to spend time and money to issue a certificate.
But there are indeed some points that do not meet the public aesthetic standards in the six major elements of judging the quality of pearls, such as Baroque, which is not round. This depends on the buyer's preference and acceptance. Some friends who understand pearls will also find special-shaped beads for matching.
If you are really unsure about paying attention, you can refer to the seller's opinion, which of course is the opinion of a reliable and knowledgeable seller.
2. When is it suitable to buy AKOYA without certificate ?
a: Know how to choose pearls
b: I plan to wear it casually, a friend who is not demanding
c: Friends who don't care much about the added value of certificates
d: Sellers can help identify
(WeChat is preferred, as sometimes there's network problem with WhatsApp in China)
