Pearl Stone Quality

The quality of a natural Pearl depends largely on its origin, body-color, surface texture, luster and shape (also called orientation). Buy the best quality Pearls to make the most of your shopping.

• Origin

   – The best quality Pearls are sourced from the coast of South India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Persian Gulf, Myanmar, Mexico and Venezuela. Pearls found in the Basra city of Persian Gulf (traded as Basra Pearl) are considered most valuable because of their immense rare and strong historical significance. south sea pearls from India, ‘Kahil Moti’ from Sri Lanka, Mikimoto Pearls and Akoya Pearls of Japan are relatively less precious but quite popular in the gems and jewellery industry.

• Pearl Color

   – Pearl body color and overtones depend on the type of Mollusc that produces them. The rarer and purer is the Pearl colour, the more valuable is the gemstone. Generally, a pure white Natural Pearl with slight rosy overtone is considered the most valuable variety. Cream colored pearl serves as the second most preferred choice. Due to the distinct color, the deep golden and black pearl stone are considered rarer and valued accordingly.

• Lustre

   – Pearl is composed of layers of a hardened organic substance called Nacre that produces a surface glow when light passes through its layers. The high-quality Pearl with thick nacre layer often displays a luminous lustre and are considered quite desirable. In contrast, the average-quality pearl with poor nacre appears too white, dull and chalky in appearance.

• Surface Perfection

   – According to the Pearl experts, the tiny marks and the subtle blemish on Pearl’s surface proof its genuine origin. Theses blemishes result from the drifts and jerks occurred inside the Mollusc’s body during the Pearl formation. The presence of fewer surface flaws and imperfection denotes a superior quality and a more valuable pearl.
