Akoya pearls originate mainly in Japan and China. The oyster that produces Akoyas has the common name of Pinctada Fucata.These pearls range from two to nine millimeters in diameter, averaging six to seven millimeters.They also display a white appearance with a rose hue. The highest percentage of harvested Akoyas are spherical in shape.Due to the consistent size and shape of the Akoya, we often find that this quality of pearl jewelry brings forth perfectly matched strands.
Similar to the Akoya, the Freshwater cultured pearl is also native to China. However, this pearl does not derive from an oyster and is smaller and less spherical in shape.The color of these pearls can be unique because their color is based upon natural attributes of the mussel as well as the fact that it can be treated or irradiated to achieve a more desired color.The mollusks that produce these pearls are called mussels.The main producer of the Freshwater pearl is the Hyriopsis Cumingi.Small crops of these pearls are produced in Japan, but the majority of the worlds supply of the Freshwater quality comes from China.China can generate up to fifteen times the amount of these pearls when compared to all of the saltwater and freshwater producers combined mainly because a mussel can be harvested more than once, which results in several pearls at one time. Each of those pearls range between four to eleven millimeters in diameter in size. Seeing that there is such a high quantity of this quality it makes the Freshwater a much more affordable option when compared to the other cultured pearls.
The South Sea cultured pearl is known to Australia, Indonesia, and also the Philippines. The common name for the oyster in these areas is Pinctada Maxima.There are two kinds of Pinctada Maxima: gold-lipped and silver-lipped. While appearing golden, silver, or pale with a satin finish look, they are quite different from the reflective nature of the Akoya.In Australia, South Sea pearls are found in the wild and can range from ten to fifteen millimeters in diameter, averaging thirteen millimeters. Conversely, those found in Indonesia and the Philippines are hatchery-bred and fall roughly two millimeters smaller in size. The South Sea quality tends to be more expensive than that of the Akoya, so grouping them together in large matched strands is less practical. South Sea pearls are more often set into pearl necklace, ring, and other jewelry designs that require fewer pearls.
According to the words of Daryl Gates, a assistant of USA Los Angeles police station chief, he recalled that the death of Marilyn Monroe in 5th Aug and said their records showed that president Robert Kennedy was at L.A. at that time. These words were spoke in the year of 2006, in addition to him, there were several senior police, it also included Marilyn Monroe’s house keeper, they all remembered that the attorney general had gone Marilyn Monroe’s house sometime of that day. While the reports from newspaper and procurator’s office of the day insisted that Robert Kennedy was in San Francisco.
Before the death of Monroe, she had made several calls, two of which was worthy of note, Jose Bolanos was a young editor Monroe met in Mexico, he said he called Monroe at that night about 9 clock, in conversation, Monroe told me an important news, and what was that, he still kept his mouth shut for dozens of years. In the evening of 9:30, Monroe made another call to Heaney, a Hairstylist in Hollywood, he was also a good friend for several stars, he did not want to reveal what Monroe had said to him at that night too. While in 1997, before Heaney past away, he disclosed some information about it in his memoir, it was said like this: Monroe sounded a little nervous, she told him that Robert Kennitt was at there and shouted to her about her affair with Robert Kennedy, she also said that Kennedy was back to L.A. in the afternoon of that day and wanted to end their relations, he warned her not to call white house again, Monroe was crying in the phone and said that it was over now, she knew a lot of secrets about white house, very dangerous secrets.
According to Monroe’s psychological doctor, it was said that he found Monroe’s body even earlier than police, Monroe was grasping the phone tightly when she was dead, it seemed that she was communicating with someone, actually, the L.A.police found a rumpled paper in Monroe’s beddings, it wrote the number of white house, through futher investigation, it confirmed that last call was to Kennedy.
The day before the death of Monroe, president Kennedy was having holiday in Massachusetts state, while wherever he was, the white house still could transfer the call to him. The telephone records showed that the next early time his brother in-law called him from Cal. They talked some time, afterwards, Kennedy was riding and playing Rugby in full day, as the host of serving him memories, when hearing about the news of Monroe’s death, he just commented in few word, which was so ridiculous.
