What is a Pearl?

"Pearls" are unique among gemstones because they form inside living mollusks such as oysters and mussels. Their organic origin gives every natural or cultured "pearl" its own character.

What affects "Pearl's" value?

Rarity, size, shape, surface quality, luster, and origin all influence value. South Sea "Pearls" are among the most prized because of their size and scarcity.

How can you recognize a natural-looking "Pearl"?

Real "Pearls" are rarely perfectly identical. Their shape, roundness, color, and surface can vary naturally. Imitation "Pearls" are commonly made from glass, ceramic, or plastic and are manufactured to resemble genuine "Pearls".
