A question to all experts out there... besides the origin, what are other differences between a kasumi pearl and a similar chinese FW to this one? I will have to search this forum for more info on "in-body nucleation process". Do kasumi pearls tend to display deeper colors?
I'm not an expert, but I've been reading up on Kasumi pearls lately... They display a number of colors ranging from creamy white to pink and lavender to bronze. My understanding from Sarah (Kojima) is that the deeper colors are the more valued. I am not yet totally clear on the mollusk part of things, but of course that influences what colors appear.
