Greetings,
Do any of you know or have at least a passably informed opinion on what characteristics merit a pearl being named? I'm particularly interested in blister/mabe' pearls--especially since a mabe' cannot be measured by weight, having been filled with an artificial substance and backed by something other than the original shell. I haven't been able to find much information on the subject.
Regards,
J Marcus
