People show their love and sincerity by gifting Pearl. Pearl is embedded in the form of necklace, bracelet, ring, and bangles, etc. You need a trustworthy resource where you can believe that that person will give your pure Pearl. Always make an informed decision before selling your Pearl to any source, either website or a shop. Its types determine the value of Pearl.
Two kinds of Pearl they are about natural or a cultured pearl. Before jumping into the well, make sure you have gathered enough information about it. Some few things are given below. Selling Pearl at auction is something like a property dealer who knows about your demand and looks for another party whom it should be sell. Companies are working well who look at your Pearl and offer you cash according to it. They take images from your side and tell you about the fixed price.
The online market circle is quite smaller but provide a reasonable price. This is one of the best ways to sell you Pearl online and get handsome cash but make sure you follow all security measures and the guidance provided by the owners. You tell your expected price, and they look forward to it. A dealer means a person who does interact with you, and instead of selling it to another party, he intends to buy his own.
They know about the value and offer you amount according to the worth. A dealer is a decent option if you want to get quick cash to fulfil your need. All dealers may vary in price some offer you excellent offer, and some want to get your Pearl in cheaper. Beware of such dealers and shop around yourself to find the best option for yourself. These are the persons who get your pearls, and in result, they give you cash as a loan.
You get the money for a time and make commitments with a buyer that for how much time you will payback. The mollusk that produces South Sea cultured pearls is larger than the mollusk that produces Japanese saltwater cultured pearls.
This leads to greater potential for larger sizes. Cultured pearls come in a variety of sizes and South Sea cultured pearls are coveted for their large size. Different pearl types are held to different standards when classifying shape. Japanese saltwater cultured pearls are held to the strictest standards for shape.
From top to bottom these strands are classified for shape as round, near-round, semi-baroque, and baroque. This is the rarest shape in both cultured and natural pearls.
One thing you might not realise is that saltwater pearls like Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian are more likely to be round than freshwater pearls. Because in saltwater pearls a round bead is inserted to encourage pearl to grow into a round shape whereas a piece of tissue is used in freshwater pearl cultivation.
Now you can see - it is much rarer for a natural pearl to form a perfectly round shape than its cultured counterpart. When other value factors are equal, the second most valuable shape is near-round, and then followed next in value by other symmetrical shapes like oval, button, drop and baroque.
Are large pearls always more valuable? Not always. Pearl size cannot be valued on its own and must be judged by taking pearl type into account. Generally speaking, when you compare sizes within the same pearl type, the larger the pearl is, the more valuable it is when all other value factors are the same. However, it is not true when valuating pearls of different varieties. As shown in the image below, you can easily see the difference in pearl sizes when you compare the size of the Tahitian oyster shell against that of the akoya pearl-bearing oyster.
It is much rarer, for instance, to have a 10mm akoya pearl than a 10mm South Sea pearl. If all the other quality factors are equal, this akoya pearl would command a higher price than the South Sea pearl of the same size. For round pearls, the size is determined by measuring the diameter of a drilled pearl perpendicular to the drill hole. For pearls of any other shapes, the size is made up of measurements for lengths, widths or depths.
Pearl sizes are usually expressed in millimetres and rounded to the nearest 0. In other words, it shows how bright and shiny a pearl is. Pearl lustre is considered the most important quality attribute of all the 7 pearl value factors. Fine quality pearls will always display high lustre with bright and sharp reflections. When other value factors are the same, the higher the lustre, the more valuable the pearl is.
The lustre of some fine quality pearls can be so intense that it is almost metallic. The quality of pearl lustre is directly linked with its nacre quality. During the pearl formation process, layers upon layers of nacre are slowly deposited inside the shell. Thick nacre with tight and uniform construction usually leads to high pearl lustre. Nacre quality is also a key indicator of durability. The thicker the nacre is, the more lustrous and durable the pearl is.
Hence the value goes up. In the case of saltwater cultured pearls, bead nuclei are used in the pearl cultivation process. Therefore, those with thin nacre usually diminish in value. They often have poor lustre and are not durable.
As an organic gem, nearly all cultured and natural pearls have some degree of imperfections such as bumps, pits, scratches, spots, and wrinkles on their surface. Blemish-free pearls are extremely rare. So the fewer and less visible blemishes a pearl has, the higher its value when all the other value factors are equal. Pearls that have no blemishes at all or contain very tiny surface characteristics that are not visible without using special equipment are said to have Clean Surface. The more uniform the pearls are in a piece of jewellery based on these five value factors, the higher value the piece commands.
One thing to bear in mind — some jewellery intentionally mismatches pearls to achieve a specific look. What matters in this case is the visual harmony of the design rather than the uniformity mentioned above. Unlike all the other pearls that are produced by bivalves, conch pearls and melo pearls are grown inside univalve molluscs that only have one shell and no hinge.
They do not have the pearly lustre of true pearls and are often called calcareous concretions. Indigenous to the Caribbean Sea and a small area of the Atlantic Ocean, natural conch pearls are extremely valuable. It is estimated that one pearl is found for every 10, conchs collected. Conch pearls are usually small and rarely round.
Most are oval or irregular shaped. The finest conch pearls are typically symmetrical in shades of pinks. They also come in colours like white, beige, and yellow.
Chocolate-brown conch pearls are the rarest, but the ones that command the highest prices have salmon pink tones and saturated pink colours that create a flaming display of light.
Melo pearls, or Melo melo pearls are found in the waters of Southern Asia. Melo pearls are often spherical and they can be very large. One of the biggest one ever discovered weighs over carats The most sought-after colour for melo pearls is orange although it is known to fade over time.
Melo pearls often show a flame-like structure.
