Pearl Jewelry of High Quality

Pearls are some of the most stunning gemstones in the world. Pearls have many attributes that contribute to the quality of the pearl. One of the main features people consider when appraising a pearl is the type of pearl. The two most rare kinds of pearls are Tahitian and South Sea.

These pearls have several factors that make them unique, such as the size they come in. These pearls generally start growing around 8mm and reach sizes of around 17mm which is larger than any other type of pearl. Another aspect of these pearls is the colors they come in. Tahitian pearls come in colors like purple, black, green, silver and blue, while South Sea pearls come in stunning shades like gold, silver and cream. These pearls create a luxurious look when paired with yellow and white gold.

As pearls become less rare, like freshwater pearls, the prices tend to drop., this fact however, does not take away from the quality of the pearl and create magnificent pieces. Another trait considered when determining the quality of a pearl is the shape. When pearls are rounder in shape, they tend to be more valuable. 

Luster is another feature of a pearls that can attribute to the price of a pearl and the surface of a pearl is closely examined to make sure there are no marks on its surface.
