First of all it is best to understand the type of pearls and the quality. Most of us perhaps already know that when it comes diamonds, Four C's - Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat are determining factors for the value of any diamond. Then how about pearls?

Value of pearls is determined by the followings:

Pearl Nacre - The iridescent internal layer of a mollusk shell. It is a natural substance oyster secretes to protect its sensitive flesh. Thicker layer commands more value because of its greater luster depth.

Pearl Color- Surface color or body color - Most irradiated or dyed pearls have surface colors. The natural pearl colors are white, black, champagne, green, gray, aqua and gold. Again within each category there are common overtones.

Pearl Size - Pearls are commonly measured in millimeters (mm) in their diameter. Large size pearls carry higher prices. Even 1 mm makes the difference.

Pearl Surface - If outer surface is very clean and have very few blemishes such pearls carry higher value.

Pearl Shape - The perfect round shape always have higher pearl values but near round or off round are very much common and sold everyday. Some other shapes are potato shape; drop tear shapes, pear shapes and irregular baroque shape pearls and coin shapes etc.
