So how can you tell if the pearls you own are natural or cultured? Unfortunately, you won’t be able to spot the difference without proper gemological and laboratory tests. Testing methods such as X-rays, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence, laser light, and Raman spectrometry will help separate natural from cultured pearls. What Affects The Value Of A Pearl? Although pearl farming is thriving currently, it faces an uncertain future just like many other aquatic industries threatened by climate change. Not all pearls are rare. While pearls, in general, are considered precious, the rarity of a pearl depends on various factors. Natural pearls formed without human intervention are considered rare because they occur spontaneously in a small percentage of oysters. However, cultured pearls, which are intentionally cultivated with human assistance, are more common and accessible in the market. In fact, there are actually many pearl farms scattered across the world! That said, not all dye jobs are cheap. If done by a quality processor, even obviously dyed, fantasy colored pearls can be quite classy and beautiful.

RoundIn terms of color, white is the most prevalent and least rare color for quahog pearls, often making them the most budget-friendly option. Conversely, hues ranging from purple to lavender are much more uncommon and cost the most. While most gemstones come in and out of style, pearls have remained in demand for hundreds of years. In the 19 th century, with the popularity of pearls continuing to rise, the supply simply couldn’t keep up with the market’s appetite. The industry was looking for a more sustainable way to get these gems, and it received one in 1893. That was the year when Kokichi Mikimoto successfully cultured a pearl for the first time in history. He’d done it by nucleating Akoya oysters with a particle to stimulate nacre production. All of that was done in protected beds where he could monitor the mollusks. This new technique singlehandedly changed the future of pearls, making them accessible to millions of people. Since Mikimoto’s discovery, cultivating practice have become more advanced. Nowadays the produce includes pearls of various colors, shapes, and sizes. As a result, cultured pearls are much more popular than natural ones. Should You Buy Natural Pearls? South Sea pearls are produced by a specific oyster species, the silver-lipped pearl or Pinctada maxima oyster. What sets them apart is their abundant nacre layer, contributing to their extraordinary quality. A standout feature of these pearls is their inherent shine or luster, which illuminates them from within as light bounces off their surface. Look for blemishes in the dye (realize that even natural, untreated pearls aren’t perfect — they can show blemishes too, but you can usually see whether that’s in the pearl itself or the dye).
