How many points do you need? "" These are the best ones I have selected, basically without any flaws. "In a pearl live broadcast room with over a thousand people watching, the anchor completed a 4680 yuan order in less than ten minutes. When the consumer was selecting pearls, at least seven or eight people were clearly queuing up in the live broadcast room, and the anchor needed to record their IDs one by one to avoid getting the order wrong. The pearls, once considered as "mother's style", have been sought after by young people in the past two years. Against the backdrop of skyrocketing prices, "grabbing pearls" has become a new trend after the "gold craze". Although the prices of seawater and freshwater pearls have doubled year by year, which is the norm for many jewelry, this year's increase in pearls has made many merchants exclaim 'too outrageous'. According to the statistics of the China Jewelry and Jade Industry Association, the market size of China's jewelry and jade industry in 2022 is approximately 719 billion yuan, which is basically the same as the previous year. Among them, the pearl market achieved double-digit growth. A consumer told reporters that seawater pearls had already started to rise sharply at the beginning of the year. Last year, I spent 9500 yuan to buy an 8.5-9mm rose grade Akoya pearl necklace, while this year a 7.5-8mm seawater pearl necklace is already priced at 12000 yuan. A single pearl looks good, and it has even more than doubled. "With the rising prices of seawater pearls, freshwater pearls should also rise in unison recently. Because seawater pearls have increased by nearly 1-1.5 times, many people choose to buy freshwater pearls as substitutes. As a result, freshwater pearls have also started to skyrocket, and now the high quality has increased even more than seawater pearls. "Xiao Cen (pseudonym), who often appears in pearl live streaming rooms, said," A freshwater nucleated pearl was only 4000 yuan a month ago, but now it has risen to 6000 yuan. The live streaming room anchor also said that the purchase price in Zhuji is 7500 yuan. In addition to the sharp increase in the price of high-quality pearls, The price of low-end pearls has also taken advantage of the "rocket". Li Li (pseudonym), who is engaged in wholesale of freshwater pearls, told reporters that she often supplies some pearl sellers. Not long ago, I originally planned to quit, so I cleared the warehouse once and found out that I couldn't afford the pearls at the original selling price. "" Last year, the wholesale price of Xiaomi bead necklaces was around 50-60 yuan, but now I need to purchase over 100 yuan, "she said. Why are consumers buying more and more as they rise? Why is the increase in pearl prices so "exaggerated"? Zhao Ying (pseudonym), who is engaged in jewelry live streaming, believes that the overall price increase of pearls is influenced by multiple factors. Among them, the reduction in the scale of domestic pearl farming is the main reason for the sharp rise in freshwater pearl prices. In the past, many pearl farmers would heavily feed fertilizers and pollute water bodies. In order to protect the ecological environment, some regions have gradually started to restrict and regulate pearl farming, resulting in a decrease in the number of pearl farmers and an increase in overall costs, "she said. According to public information, China is the world's largest producer of freshwater pearls. Shanxiahu Town, Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province, known as the "Pearl Capital of China", has the world's largest freshwater pearl trading market, accounting for 73% of the world's total freshwater pearl production and 80% of China's total freshwater pearl production. However, with the closure of a group of aquaculture farms that did not meet ecological standards, pearl production also decreased. Zhejiang
