PEARL EDUCATION

From pearl type to pearl sizing, we'll educate you on everything you need to pick the perfect jewelry piece.

"I desired to purchase my wife a pearl set. After a lot of research, as well as inquiring brick and mortar stores, I decided to purchase the set from The Pearl Source. I was apprehensive to make such a costly purchase sight unseen. But after receiving the pearl set I was extremely impressed and satisfied. The local stores did not have the same quality, and their pearls are priced much higher. The Hamadama Akoya set I purchased appears to be better quality than the Mikimoto set that my best friend purchased for his wife, and he paid twice as much. Honestly, I think he purchased a name."

How to Choose Loose Pearls

Loose pearls are useful when you want to create a custom jewelry piece, replace a missing pearl, match an existing item, or choose one individual pearl for a pendant, ring, bracelet, or pair of earrings. Because the pearl is selected on its own, size, luster, shape, color, and setting compatibility matter more than they would in a finished jewelry piece.

When comparing loose pearls, look at:

Pearl type: Freshwater pearls are usually the most accessible, Tahitian pearls offer naturally dark color, and South Sea pearls are usually larger and more luxurious.
Size and shape: choose a pearl that fits the setting or design you plan to use.
Luster: a brighter pearl will look more polished once it is set into jewelry.
Color and matching: if the pearl is replacing one from an existing piece, match the color, size, and tone as closely as possible.

For specific options, compare Loose Tahitian Pearls, Loose Golden Pearls, and Loose White South Sea Pearls.
