How to Choose a Good Pearl? Just Remember These 5 Things

How to Choose a Good Pearl? Just Remember These 5 Things

Buying pearls for the first time can feel confusing — but it doesn’t have to be.
With these five simple standards, you’ll instantly know how to spot quality.


1. Luster (Most Important)

The stronger the shine, the better the pearl.
Top pearls look almost mirror-like.


2. Roundness

The rounder the pearl, the rarer and more valuable.


3. Surface Quality

Minor blemishes are natural, but fewer spots mean higher quality.


4. Skin Texture

Smooth, fine texture equals better craftsmanship and beauty.


5. Size

Bigger pearls are more precious under the same grade.
