Loose Pearls – Buying Advice
Buying loose pearls by the bulk is a great way to save up on jewelry. However, you need to know the basics of grading pearls to get your money’s worth. Pearls come in different shapes, sizes, and types. Pearl values depend on quality as well.
Natural pearls are rare
Most of the pearls you see in the market today are cultured pearls. This is because natural pearls which have not been farmed or manipulated by human efforts are too rare to be quoted by average people. High quality natural sea water pearl would cost too much for the ordinary buyer. Because most pearl jewelry are created in strands, unless we’re talking about pearl earrings or rings which can exist as a piece or a pair, rare and expensive natural pearls are out of the question—unless you’re a filthy rich collector.
When you see the tagline "natural" in wholesale loose pearl markets, do not be deceived. This is a misnomer, because authentic natural pearls are too rare to exist by the bulk. It takes more than a lifetime to collect enough natural pearls of the same size for a single strand of necklace, so it’s impossible for purely natural pearls to exist in a single stall at any one day.
At most, these "natural" pearls are in reality high quality cultured pearls. Under an x-ray test, you’ll find out that they don’t have the rings of calcium which natural pearls are supposed to have. Instead, you’ll find a smoother, more consistent core. Also, these cultured pearls are bound to feel smoother when you test them against your front teeth. Authentic natural pearls should feel gritty.
Fakes
Unscrupulous dealers might try to cheat you off by mixing synthetic pearls with cultured loose pearls. To be absolutely sure about your purchase, have the pearl dealer scrape a bit of the surface off your loose pearls. If they’re authentic cultured pearls, some powdery debris should come off. The paint of synthetic pearls is bound to come off when scraped with the knife. This should reveal a glass or plastic bead underneath.
