Pearl Playing Cards :Sunrise
This listing is for one deck of Sunrise Pearl.
Pearl is
inspired by the beauty of nature. There are two versions of Pearl
Playing Cards: Sunrise and Sunset. They complement each other.
As
"Impression, Sunrise" is a famous painting of the impressionism master,
Monet, the Pearl Deck reminds us of the same style. That's why these
decks are named Pearl Playing Cards: SUNRISE, and Pearl Playing Cards:
SUNSET. These cards show a vivid color combination of Mother Nature with
the impressionism theme. It's a varied version of SUNRISE.
It
took more than one year to prepare this Pearl project, to perfect the
final result. We repeatedly tested various aspects of Pearl, such as
paper stocks for the tuck box, color rendering of designs, metallic
inks, and finish of the cards. All these make Pearl one of a kind. The
tuck box is made of specially imported paper stock, which shines like a
real pearl! For Sunrise, the tuck box is gold foiled. Gold and
bright-red metallic inks are applied on the face of the cards. On the
other hand, for Sunset, the tuck box is bronze foiled, and bronze and
dark-red metallic inks are applied.
Besides
the difference of color rendering, the touches of the cards are
different, too. Sunrise is made with Magic Finish, which makes the cards
more slippery and shining, and easy to fan. Sunset is made with Royal
Finish, which is less slippery and more suitable to apply fan powder.
Each has its merit, so it depends on what sleight or flourish you wish
to use.
