When considering pearls, several factors will contribute to the pearl’s value. Due to their rarity, natural pearls are considerably more valuable than cultured pearls; saltwater pearls are prized over freshwater as they have a more brilliant lustre and smoother spherical shape. Other factors considered when assessing the quality include the pearl’s size, surface condition, shape and colour.
Our team of qualified jewellery specialists are available to advise on the quality of your pearls. If a pearl is suspected of being natural, it is sent for further testing at a reputable gemmological laboratory; this ensures that your piece is in the best position to achieve a high price at auction.
