Why our Sea Pearls and 22k Gold are cheaper than market? 925 Silver, Rhodium explained
Please know that Fair Pearls offers the best and highest quality Pearl Jewelry at the most affordable prices in Indonesia, a country which is famous as №1 producer of Gold and White South Sea Pearl in the world. The quality of our gems is comparable with any international standards of Pearl Jewelry Craft! That is why each pearl jewelry purchased from the Fair Pearls website is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. If you find that any of our pearls do not meet declared characteristics or its origin, you can always receive a full monetary compensation! 1) Saltwater pearls could be much less expensive than you expect Fair Pearls could not sell Saltwater pearls by the price of Freshwater gems. But we still could save your money significantly. Brands have premiums attached to them that can add as much as 300-400% to the price. FairPearls.com sources pearl from its own farm (please check our gallery for proof!) and without the costly overhead associated with big box store names. Do not forget, that we were born in Indonesia, and all our workers were born in Indonesia too. It means that the expenses on salary are not affecting our selling prices too. If you buy a pearl jewelry from us, you will not be overcharged for the brand. There is no need to overpay for advertising campaigns, PR specialists, and a huge staff of employees of international scale corporations. What we are offering is local prices only. Despite the fact that our announced prices for sea pearls are significantly lower than the market average, you should be aware that cultured Saltwater pearls are more expensive than cultured Freshwater pearls because the Saltwater oyster typically produces one pearl at a time. Freshwater mussels can produce up to 30 pearls at a time. It takes about two or three years to produce a thick layer of nacre on top of an average Saltwater pearl, although lower quality Freshwater pearls can be produced after 6 months only. Also, you should now, that saltwater pearls have better luster and appearance making them highly desirable and more sought after. This greater demand for Saltwater pearls translates to higher prices for the consumer. Saltwater pearls used to be much larger than freshwater ones, due to their longer growth period. Regarding shape, less than 5% of Freshwater pearls are perfect spheres, which is the desired shape for pearls. The rest are either oval, button-shaped, baroque or semi-baroque in shape. By contrast, Saltwater pearls are generally more spherical but can also be found in lumpy, baroque and other irregular shapes and sizes. Most people prefer Saltwater pearls due to their higher luster and beauty, but if budget is a concern for you, opting for freshwater pearls is a sensible choice. You will still be able to get beautiful pearls at a lower cost by using Fair Pearls service. The main deciding factors will be budget, appearance and durability and you will have to find a compromise between these aspects that you are comfortable with. Usually all metal metal parts of Fair Pearl jewelry are made from 22 karat Gold, 925 Sterling Silver or Rhodium. Let's speak about precious metals little more 2) Gold. How we are making 22 karat Gold and why it is so good Yellow gold jewelry is still the most popular color, but today gold is available in a diverse palette. The process of alloying—mixing other metals with pure 24 carat gold—gives malleable gold more durability, but can also be used to change its color. The purity of gold is categorized using the karat system. It measures the ratio of pure gold to other alloys in a piece of gold jewelry. The greater the amount of pure gold in a gold ring or other piece of jewelry, the higher the purity level. Pure gold is 24 karat, meaning that 24 out of 24 parts of the metal are gold. Although the terms sound familiar, the karat (k) system used to measure the purity of gold is different from the carat (c) unit of mass that’s used to weigh diamonds. Depending on the ratio of pure gold to other alloys, the gold used in engagement rings and other jewelry is usually categorized as 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k and 24k. If pure gold, or 24k gold, is 100% pure, than 10k gold is only 41.7% pure. 14k gold, which is the most popular type of gold for jewelry, is about 58.3% pure. Fair Pearls use mostly 22 karat yellow gold in making its jewelry. Gold, like pearls, is quite cheap in the production of jewelry by any local craftsman, since each of these materials are mined or farmed on the territory of the same island of Lombok. The same little island where Fair Pearls business is located since the beginning. Crafters of our company alloy the gold themselves. They start with "fine" or pure gold (0.9999) shot which is then heated to its melting point. At this purity gold is 24k. Exact proportions of fine silver and copper are then added to the molten pure gold, creating an alloy suitable for making jewelry. The final ratio is 22 parts pure gold to 2 parts fine silver and copper. After the gold, silver, and copper are blended an alloy of 22k gold is formed. It is cooled and formed into an ingot. From this point the ingot is either rolled out in sheets, or pulled through a die to make wire. We are using a rolling mill and wire drawing mill during this phase; frequently annealing (heating the gold until it glows red, and returning the gold to room temperature slowly) to re-establish malleability after it’s been work-hardened and won’t reduce further without cracking and breaking. 22k yellow gold is distinguished by its rich color and develops a beautiful luster when worn. It is softer than metals often used in mass produced jewelry such as 18k gold, 14k gold and platinum. However, the inherent weight and density gained from being hand wrought gives 22k yellow gold jewelry more strength. The tradition of using 22k yellow gold, and the methods Fair Pearle use to make its jewelry are centuries old. The same classical goldsmithing methods we employ have been used for 5000 years. It is very labor intensive and exacting, demanding patience and discipline. All our gold jewelry designs are made from the gold wire and sheet we produce in our working rooms. This method of hand fabrication is unlike techniques used in factory made jewelry, and is rarely found in jewelry making because of the time it takes to produce and the high cost of labor associated with production. Most people aren't allergic to 22kyg because it doesn't contain nickel. 3) Our 925 Sterling Silver, how to distinguish a product made of real silver from a fake Same as pure gold, pure silver is not really made up of only silver. It has 99.9% of silver, and a small content composed of other metals such as copper. Sterling Silver, on the other hand, consists of 92.5% silver, and the remaining part consists of copper – mostly copper. This is the reason why Sterling Silver is popularly referred to as 925 Sterling Silver or just 925 Silver. Because pure silver is much too soft to be used in jewelry, it is often combined with other metals to create a more durable metal. It is very difficult to make great designs with just pure silver, which is very soft and malleable. A bit of hardness has to be introduced, by adding other metals such as copper. 925 Sterling Silver jewelry certainly does not come cheap and because of that some jewelers are known to sell fake sterling silver necklaces, rings, earrings and so on. For instance, it is common to come across silver plated jewelries that are sold as real sterling silver jewelries. That is why, knowing how to identify real 925 sterling silver from the fake ones will be of a great help to you and save you from much pain later. The techniques described here by Fair Pearls professionals will help you do just that – to identify real sterling silver jewelry from the fake ones:
  • Rub the jewelry using a soft white cloth. If you find any black marks on the cloth, then you can be sure that it is made of real sterling silver. This is because any air exposure causes real sterling silver to oxidize. This causes them to deteriorate with time, and the reason why black marks are found on the cloth they are polished with.
  • Do The Nitric Acid Test. When drops of nitric acid are added to fake non-silver jewelries, they cause them to lose their color. Always ask a jeweler before buying 925 sterling silver from him if you can conduct the nitric acid test on it. Nitric acid has no effect on real 925 sterling silver, so if the jeweler is selling you a genuine product, he won’t have any objection to that. But be sure to wear gloves and protect your eyes with goggles while doing the nitric acid test. If the jewelry is made of real sterling silver, the part on which you drop the nitric acid will appear creamy in color, otherwise, if fake, it will appear green.
  • Use the Smell Test. Real sterling silver shouldn’t smell. If it does, it is because there is too much copper in it.
  • Use the Magnet Test. This is a simple test. Magnets have no effect on silver – just as they have no effect on gold or platinum. But if you find that the jewelry is attracted to the magnet, then it will be clear to you that it is not made of real sterling silver.
  • Real sterling silver jewelry will have markings such as “Ster,” “925” or “Sterling Silver” in a hidden area. If you don’t see such a marking, be wary of it immediately.
4) Rhodium, the most expensive precious metal out there Rhodium is a silvery-white, hard, and corrosion-resistant metal. It is very shiny and reflects up to 80 percent of light. Rhodium gives off one of the best sheens achievable, making it a very popular metal for jewelry. It is very rare as it is never found as a single mineral. Rather, it is cultivated in very small quantities within nickel and platinum ores. The production rate of the metal globally is roughly 30 tons yearly, which is actually very small compared to other metals. Copper, for example, is produced at a rate of 20 million metric tons per year. Aluminum comes in at 63 million metric tons. Combine this scarcity with the huge demand for rhodium and its high-shine appearance, and you can see why rhodium is the world's most expensive precious metal. In fact, it beats out both gold and silver by a huge margin. Rhodium has been used as a coating for jewelry and silverware since the 1930s. Like all metals, rhodium presents both advantages and disadvantages. One of the biggest pros of plating jewelry and other items with rhodium is the incredible luster that the metal imparts. Rhodium can create stunning pieces of jewelry. Of course, you will have to balance this remarkable sheen with the high price of the rhodium. Remember, though, that while the jewelry may seem very costly in the moment, you’ll be making a valuable investment that could serve you well later. Another thing that you should note about rhodium plating is that since it is a coating on the surface of an object, it can wear off over time. This means that you should avoid washing or rubbing the exposed surface to lengthen the life of the jewelry. Remove your rhodium jewelry when going for a swim, as the chlorine in the water can heavily damage the plating. Your care will have a significant bearing on the integrity of your jewelry. If you are considering rhodium-plated jewelry, weigh the pros and cons, and take your budget into account. If you have the funds for rhodium and take good care of your items, they can last you years into the future, make a stunning statement, and prove to be a valuable investment.
How many different types of pearls are there?
There are four major types of cultured pearls: South Sea Cultured Pearls Golden South Sea pearls are among the rarest and most valuable pearls in the world. Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines are leading sources of these saltwater cultured pearls. South Sea cultured pearls can be white to silver or golden, depending on the type of oyster. Their large size and thick nacre, due to a long growth period, plus their limited critical growing conditions are all factors contributing to their value. This oyster is much larger than the oysters that produce Akoya and Freshwater pearls, so the pearl that it produces is much larger as well. Because of the rarity and sensitivity of this type of oyster, cultivation of these pearls is much more difficult, making them more expensive Akoya Cultured Pearls Akoya pearls are known for being perfectly round in shape, highly lustrous, with an almost metallic-like reflection. Akoya pearls feature a white body color, with subtle overtones of rose, silver, or cream. The main source for akoya pearls is Japan They range in size from 3mm to 11mm, with most being around 7mm. You can find Akoya pearls in white, gray, green, pink, and blue (although rare). Most Akoya pearls are round. Tahitian Cultured Pearls Cultivated primarily around the islands of French Polynesia (the most familiar of these is Tahiti). These saltwater cultured pearls sometimes referred to as black pearls, have a wide color range. They might be gray, black, or brown, and they can have blue, green, purple, or pink overtones. Tahitian Pearls are the only naturally occurring black pearls. You can find black cultured freshwater pearls but the color is not natural. If left in the sun for a long period of time, the color could fade. Real Cultured Tahitian Pearls will not fade and are becoming rarer as the higher temperature of the planet is negatively impacting their growth. Freshwater Cultured Pearls Freshwater cultured pearls are the most commonly produced pearls and they are one of the most popular pearl types among shoppers and jewelry designers. This is due to their remarkable range of sizes, shapes, and colors. They are usually cultured in freshwater lakes and ponds, often with many pearls grown in one oyster. China is the leading source of freshwater cultured pearls. Freshwater pearls are usually less shiny than saltwater pearls because their nacre is thicker. In general, freshwater pearls are also less expensive than saltwater pearls because they’re cultured for a shorter time.
Cultured pearls vs natural pearls vs fake pearls
A Natural Pearl is formed when an irritant accidentally gets into the soft tissue of the mussel in an oyster. As a defense mechanism, the animal produces secretions to coat the irritant. Many layers of coating are deposited on the irritant making the irritant smooth. A natural pearl is thus born. This happens so rarely that, today, nearly all natural pearls one sees are in estate jewelry collections. It may take over 100,000 oysters to get enough pearls to make a pearl necklace. Matching natural pearls to make a pearl strand is extremely difficult since they are never round or uniform in size and color. A well-matched natural pearl strand can be extremely pricey. Cultured pearls, like natural pearls, are grown within live oysters. Each begins when a skilled technician surgically implants a host oyster with a shell bead and a piece of mantle tissue. To protect itself, the oyster secretes a crystalline substance, called "nacre," over the irritant. Over time, the nacre layers build on one another, creating a surface that glows with a luster unique to true pearls. There are three types of saltwater pearls: Tahitian pearls, South Sea pearls, and Akoya pearls. These pearls range in size from 2mm to 15mm diameter. They’re most often round and white, but can be black or pastel colors. Real pearls are valuable because they display a natural beauty, whereas fake pearls (sometimes called "faux", "costume" or "imitation" pearls) are worth little in value. They can be made of glass, plastic, or fish-scale imitations. Here are some tips on how to distinguish real pearls from fake pearls.
  • Real pearls have fingerprint-like surface ridges when viewed under magnification. Fake pearls have bubbles or mat patterns on the surface when viewed under magnification.
  • Real pearls have enriched body color and an overtone color. Fake pearls only have one body color. The color looks flat and lacks depth.
  • Real pearls are cold to touch. You don’t feel the coolness when touching fake pearls.
  • If you rub pearls across your teeth, real pearls feel gritty while fake pearls feel smooth.
  • Real pearls are heavy. Fake pearls are light in weight.
  • Real pearls show smoothness around drilled holes. Fake pearls show roughness or bumps around drilled holes.
Artificial, or imitation, pearls, on the other hand, do not involve oysters in any way but are manufactured from various chemicals and compounds. Even so, be aware that some imitation pearls are sold as "organic." One popular technique for producing artificial pearls involves dipping a glass bead many times into a fish-scale-and-lacquer substance. While the shine of most artificial pearls is primarily surface reflection, a cultured pearl emanates a deep three-dimensional glow that appears to come from within the pearl itself.
The main pearls grading factors are:
  • Luster - this makes or breaks pearls as a gemstone. Luster describes the way light reflects off the pearl surface (Sharp and Highly Reflective or Soft and Blurry). The sharper the Luster, the more valuable the pearl.
  • Surface Quality - pearls with smooth, clean surfaces are more highly valued than those with multiple inclusions.
  • The symmetry of Shape - truly round pearls are the rarest shape of all, and the most valued. After that, we look for perfectly symmetrical semi-baroque shapes like tear-drops and ovals, then circled baroques and finally, free form baroques which are totally asymmetrical.
  • Color - pearls come in every color of the rainbow (literally!). This value factor is weighted according to whether the color is naturally-occurring, the depth and saturation of the color, and the rarity of the color.
  • Size - large, perfectly symmetrical pearls are RARE, taking many years to form inside the oyster. If all other value factors are equal, the larger pearls will be the more valuable ones.
  • Origin - The value of cultured (farmed) pearls that dominate the industry today vary by pearl type: Freshwater (least expensive), saltwater Akoya (mid-range), black Tahitian (mid to high-range pricing), and South Sea (highest). We also factor in whether the pearl is cultured or natural/wild. Natural pearls - pearls that are formed without any human assistance - are extremely rare and command premium pricing.
  • Matching - The meticulous matching of a fine pearl necklace layout can take many years depending on the pearl type. You’re looking for a steady, smooth graduation rate from smallest to largest pearls in the center, with little to no variation from pearl to pearl in terms of Luster, Shape, Color, Overtone, and Surface Quality (Multi-Color strands are given a tad more leeway but still must have an overall well-matched "tone").
To this date, there’s still no set, internationally agreed-upon grading scale for pearls. That means that pearl grading is subjective, depending on the seller you’re dealing with.FairPearls.com uses the A-AAA Grading Scale, which is a simple and straight forward grading system based upon specific percentages for attributes like surface blemishing, luster rating (the sharpness of reflections), color/overtone and shape, among others.
  • AAA (Flawless): The highest-quality pearl, virtually flawless. The surface will have a very high luster, and at least 95% of the surface will be free from any type of defect. The pearl will be perfectly round and have a mirror-like luster, and a nacre thickness of 0.4mm or higher.
  • AA (Excellent): The surface will have a very high luster, and at least 75% of the surface will be free from any type of defect. The luster will be very high, and have a thick nacre, still a very nice quality but not quite as nice as AAA or higher.
  • A (Good): This is the basic jewelry-grade pearl, with a lower luster and/or less than 75% of the surface showing surface without any defects. In many cases, if the pearl is being mounted into a piece of jewelry, it can be mounted so that the defects are hidden - thus providing a lovely jewelry piece at a lesser price. This quality has a chalky appearance and thin nacre, typically of .25mm or less.
Pearl jewelry care and maintenance
  • Pearls can keep their luster for a very long time when cared for. Proper pearl care is not difficult, as long as you remember that these gems are organic by nature, grown in water from living cells of a living creature.
  • The best way to help your pearls maintain their luster is to wear them regularly. Your body’s natural oils aid in maintaining the pearls’ beauty.
  • Pearls should be worn alone. If worn with other jewelry, such as a gold chain or other necklace, they may be scratched or damaged.
  • Apply any cosmetics, lotions, perfume, or hair spray before putting on your pearls. Make your pearls the last item you put on when getting dressed and the first item you take off.
  • Avoid contact with salt water, chlorinated water, or perspiration.
  • Wipe your pearls after wearing them, using a soft cloth.
  • Remove spills immediately when pearls come in contact with any foods or liquids. Wipe them with a soft damp cloth and then with a dry soft cloth.
  • Store your pearls separately from other jewelry, preferably in a cloth bag. Storing them in a slightly damp linen cloth will help the pearls from drying out in low humidity atmospheres and centrally heated areas.
  • Never clean your pearls with soap, detergents, or jewelry cleaner. A harsh cleanser can wear away the nacre.
  • Never use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machine or steam cleaner.
  • Have your pearls restrung every two to five years if worn regularly, or when the silk becomes dirty? Take your pearls to a professional jeweler for cleaning before restringing, which will add to the beauty and long life of your pearls.
Why pearls never go out of style
The Oldest Gemstone In The World... Diamonds may be forever, but pearls have been recognized as prized jewels for centuries longer than any cut stone. Almost all other gemstones are formed by mineral deposits that must be mined, cut, and polished to reveal their sparkling beauty. Pearls, on the other hand, are beautiful as they are - straight out of the mollusk. High-quality pearls have an intense, brilliant luster and shiny iridescence that emanates from within the gem. For these reasons, pearls have become a symbol of purity and natural beauty. Gifts of Nature Pearls are natural wonders that have been treasured for centuries by cultures ancient and modern around the world. Greek mythology proclaimed pearls to be tears of joy shed by the goddess Aphrodite. Ancient Egyptians associated pearls with Isis, the goddess of healing and life. Pearls were Prized by Rulers and Royalty Julius Caesar limited the wearing of pearl jewelry to the rulers of the Roman Empire during the first century B.C. In the glory days of the British Empire, only royalty were allowed to wear these lustrous gems. Until fairly recently, pearls were still worn exclusively by royalty and wealthy nobility, as they were far too expensive for anyone else to afford. Noted in Legends and Literature Tribal Indians, too, believed that pearls were tears of their gods. An Arab legend weaves a tale of dewdrops filled with moonlight that fell into the ocean and were swallowed by oysters, creating the precious pearls. The Gates of Heaven are made of pearl, according to the King James Bible. Pearls were rumored to cure hundreds of ailments. There are many more references to the pearl in works of great literature, and the lustrous jewels are often seen in famous paintings as jewelry, hair decorations, and clothing adornments. Pearls have Always Been Valued and Cherished Throughout History Pearls are one of our most ancient gem materials. They’ve been prized as jewelry for 6,000 years. Records of their commercial harvesting go back at least 2,500 years, and the cultivation of so-called “blister pearls” dates back to at least the 13th century CE in China. According to some historical accounts, Native Americans accepted strings of beads in exchange for the island of Manhattan. A few centuries later, in 1916, renowned French jeweler Jacques Cartier acquired land there for his first American store. The price? A strand of natural pearls. This long and storied past only adds to the appeal of the incomparable pearl, cherished today as a traditional wedding gift, a birthstone, and in jewelry that reflects taste and refinement.
Pearl meaning, symbolism, and myths of pearls
In ancient Roman times, pearls were a symbol of wealth and high status. This is why in 1BC, Roman ruler Julius Caesar created a law that prohibited anyone below the ruling class to wear the gems of the sea. But not the Roman emperor gave so much attention to pearls only. Here are some references to such gems in Koran, Bible, and other sacred books and stories:
  • According to legends, Adam and Eve cried deeply after God cast them out of the Garden of Eden. Their tears created a lake of pearls. It was believed that Eve’s tears created the white pearls, while Adam’s tears created the black pearls. Furthermore, it’s also said that Adam shed fewer tears than Eve did because men control their emotions better than women. Supposedly, this explains why black pearls are so rare.
  • According to The Koran, the pearl can be found in Paradise. It’s one of the greatest rewards there. This precious gem is also now symbolic of perfection.
  • Pearls symbolize purity to both Hindus and Christians. This is where the "brides wearing pearls on their wedding days" tradition is said to have started, which continues today.
  • Because they symbolize religious purity, pearls became sacred objects to Christians by the Middle Ages. During early times, Christians believed the pearls that covered the Holy Grail purified its water.
  • During Ancient Greek days, the myth was that pearls were the gods’ tears. It was also believed that if a woman wore pearls on her wedding day, it would stop her from crying.
  • Hindu folklore is a bit different. It describes the gems as drops of dew that dropped from the sky during the nigh ttime, into the moonlit ocean. Pearl’s meaning behind the story of Krishna, AKA Vishnu, is believed to be one of the earliest accounts of weddings and pearls. It’s said that Krishna pulled the very first pearl from the sea. He then presented it to Pandaia, his daughter, on the day of her wedding. His wedding gift was a symbol of purity, love, and union.
  • Ancient Polynesian myth - The god of fertility and peace, Oro, traveled on a rainbow to visit earth. He brought a magical oyster with him to the people of Polynesia called The Ufi. A gorgeous black pearl was formed inside The Ufi. When Oro said it, he gave it to Princess Bora Bora to symbolize his undying love.
  • Ancient Japanese Legend – During ancient times, the Japanese believed that the tears of mythical creatures created pearls. Some of these creatures include, but are not limited to, nymphs, mermaids, and angels.
  • Ancient Persian Legend – According to one Persian pearl myth, the gems were created after a storm. That’s when a rainbow came down from the sky and met with the earth. Lightning and thunder were said to be the reasons for the pearl’s imperfections.
  • Ancient Egyptian Legend – During ancient times, Egyptians were buried with their pearls after they died because they valued you them so much. The myth from this era that’s most famous involves Cleopatra, the famous ruler of Egypt. Legend has it that she took the gem from one of her pearl earrings. She then dissolved it and drank it! Supposedly, this was done to show Roman politician Mark Antony that the entire nation’s wealth could be devoured in one, single gulp.
  • Ancient Chinese Legend – Black pearls were very symbolic during early Chinese civilization. They were symbolic of wisdom. People believed the gems were formed inside the head of a dragon. Once they were fully grown, the dragon carried them between its teeth. According to the myth, a person could only gather the pearls by slaying the dragon to death.
The most widely held meaning among people today is pearls as a symbol of the purity and loyalty of its wearer. This is one reason why more and more brides are opting to wear pearls on their wedding day. Not only are the gemstones absolutely stunning, but their symbolic meaning makes them ideal for the event. Pearls are the ultimate symbol of wisdom. Valued for their calming effects, pearls represent serenity, while being able to strengthen valuable relationships and convey a sense of safety. Pearls also symbolize purity, as well as integrity and loyalty. Pearls represent wisdom gained through experience. The gems of the sea are believed to offer protection to the wearer, as well as attract good luck and wealth. Moreover, pearls speak of the wearer’s purity and integrity. Pearls are often offered as a token of affection and love, as well as good luck. Moreover, various myths place pearls as the symbol of good fortune and wealth.

Real Reason why each 1mm is so important for a Sea Pearl

Have you ever wondered whether it's worth going up a size when buying pearls (or other round beads)? The diameter of a pearl (its size in millimeters) doesn't tell the whole story and can be misleading when deciding what size pearls to buy. What really matters is not the diameter, but the volume.

We're often asked for advice when customers are trying to determine what size of pearl is best suited for them. The question is typically whether or not it is worth it to go up a size or two in millimeters. Is the difference really that noticeable?

The image below is of a 6 mm akoya pearl next to a 12 mm South Sea pearl. The millimeter size is exactly double, but it's easy to see that the true difference in size is much greater.

As a rule of thumb, I've always told customers that a 2 mm incremental increase in millimeter size would approximately double the overall size of the pearl. On the surface this tends to be confusing. How can an 8 mm pearl be twice the size of a 6 mm pearl?

The trick is that pearls are 3D odjects (not just flat circles on a page as they are pictured). Because of that their volume is all about the 3D size. It is about how much space pearls take up and how large their look. Their weight and visual impact.

Knowing the volume of a given pearl size lets you compare one size with another. It can tell how larger and heavier any pearl will be compared to another pearl. We could also use this to estimate out how much larger and heavier a strand may be compared to another strand.

We do this by dividing the volume of the larger pearl by the volume of the smaller pearl (or in the case of strands, dividing volumes of the end pearls of the 2 strands and the center pearls of the 2 strands, and then averaging).

Lets look into some examples. Take them as a guide to help you estimate how large a given size pearl is compared to another.

  • 16mm pearl: 2144 cubic mm (21% larger than 15mm pearls, and over 3 times as large as 11mm pearls.)
  • 15mm pearl: 1766 cubic mm (23% larger than 14mm pearls)
  • 14mm pearl: 1436 cubic mm (25% larger than 13mm) (twice as large as 11mm, and over 5x as large as 8mm pearls)
  • 13mm pearl: 1150 cubic mm (27% larger than 12mm)
  • 12mm pearl: 904 cubic mm (30% larger than 11mm and 73% larger than 10mm; over 3 times as large as 8mm)
  • 11mm pearl: 697 cubic mm (33% larger than 10mm)
  • 10mm pearl: 523 cubic mm (37% larger than 9mm, 95% larger than 8mm)
  • 9mm pearl: 382 cubic mm (43% larger than 8mm; 2 times as large as 7mm pearls)
  • 8mm pearl: 268 cubic mm (49% larger than 7mm)
  • 7mm pearl: 180 cubic mm (59% larger than 6mm)
  • 6mm pearl: 113 cubic mm (74% larger than 5mm pearls)
  • 5mm pearl: 65 cubic mm

Note: An increase of one millimeter makes more of a difference when the pearls are small than when they are large. (This is because 1mm is a greater percent of the total size of a small pearl than of a large one :)

Anyone can do such calculations for any pearl size. All we need is to found out a diameter. Lets do such magic trick to a 7mm pearl:

Volume (of a sphere) = 4/3 π (radius cubed)

  1. Divide the diameter in half to get the radius (the radius of a 7mm pearl is 3.5)
  2. Multiply the radius by itself, and again by itself to get the radius cubed (3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 = 43, rounding it up)
  3. Then multiply the radius cubed by 3.14 (π, or "pi") (43 x 3.14 = 135)
  4. Now multiply that result by 4, and then divide by 3 (135 x 4 = 540, then divided by 3 = 180)
  5. The final result is the volume of that pearl in cubic millimeters, rounded off (7mm pearl is approximately 180 cubic mm)

The volume alone is not much useful, but it is important for comparing two pearls by their sizes so as to understand how larger or smaller they are.

To compare two pearl sizes, divide the volume of the larger pearl by that of the smaller one. Lets deal with two tasks:

 

Task number One: lets found out how much 8mm pearl is larger than a 7mm pearl?

We should start by dividing 268 cubic mm (volume of 8mm pearl) by 180 cubic mm (volume of 7mm pearl) = 1.49

Thus, 8mm pearls are 1.49 times as large as 7mm pearls, or stated differently, they are 49% larger by volume.

Another way to state this is that 8mm pearls will look about one and a half times as large as 7mm pearls and will weigh 1/2 times as much.

 

Task number Two: How much a 10-12mm strand is larger than a 9-11 mm strand?

A 12mm single pearl is 30% larger than a 11mm pearl, so the central pearls in a 10-12mm strand will be 30% larger.

A 10mm pearl is 37% larger than a 9mm pearl, so the smallest pearls in a 10-12mm strand will be 37% larger.
In averaged we got 37% and 30%, and an averag of that is 33.5%.

Soo we see, that 10-12mm strand will be about a one third time larger (and a third heavier) than a 9-11mm strand overall.

A 12-14mm strand will be two-thirds (66%) larger than a 10-12mm strand. And so on.

You can do similar calculations to compare any 2 strands, but it is just an estimate when it comes to strands, as some strands have a single, oversized central pearl, or only a few small pearls close to a clasp. Still my method can give you an idea of a relative size for any product you want to compare with each other.

Going up by just a little in terms of millimeters can definitely impact appearance and weight your pearl jewelry. If you are buying a rope, it's all the more important to consider the weight.

      This past September Fair Pearls was contacted about creating a very special Custom Design Necklace for a client’s anniversary. Here is the original image he sent to us:

      We immediately started to work! At first we created a pearl layout using 6.5-7.0 mm gems of elite quality Freshwater pearls, and used a gorgeous 9.0-10.0 mm Metallic White Freshwater Drop-Shape pearl for the dangle. That big “pop” the Drop Shape provides some nice weight for the center of necklace.

      We also contacted local goldsmith we like to use for creating jewelry like this one, and he was able to create a full wax cast of the 18K Gold and Diamond branching center section:

      Next, he cast the entire piece in 18K Yellow Gold, and set the VS1-GH Quality Round Brilliant Diamond Accents (about 0.04cts each):

      The center piece came back to me completed, at which point our stringer added on the pearl strand and center Metallic Drop and …. Voila!! The finished pearl necklace was ready to send! It was so pretty we made a couple of pictures to our collection…

      Here's a close-up of that STUNNING center section (doesn't that Metallic Drop just POP, or what?!):

      If you have a Custom Design or want to replicate a pearl treasure you’ve seen somewhere please contact Fair Pearl anytime – we just love to make dreams come true!

        Specification for Minimalist South Sea Pearl Earrings #90 (variations)

        Earrings Size Guide

        How to measure

        Pearl earrings are considered the most aristocratic among all jewelry types. They can be small and refined, but the nature of the pearl will add gusto to any outfit, no matter the occasion. They can also be paired with many other jewelry pieces. Pearl earrings could be of two different types usually. Lets look at each of them.

        Standard Pearl Stud Earring Sizes
        The pearl stud earring is a classic piece of jewelry that every woman should have stashed in her jewelry box. The right pair of studs can go anywhere and look absolutely perfect on any occasion.

        6-7mm Pearl Stud Earrings On Model:
        These are ideal for young ladies from 6 years old up to 16 years old, and women with petite builds.

        7-8mm Pearl Earrings On Model:
        The most popular and versatile pearl stud size for ladies aged 18 to 60. The 7.0-8.0mm size range is the epitome of "Classic Pearls", and is sure to be appropriate and beautiful no matter when or where they're worn.

        7-8mm Pearl Stud Earring Size on a Model
        Easily our second most popular pearl earring size range, the 8.0-9.0mm pearls are for ladies wanting one step up from "normal". A touch more glamorous without being too dramatic, and still comfortable on the ear.

        8-9mm pearl stud earrings on a model
        The 9.0-9.5mm is the largest size for our Japanese Akoya pearls, and generally our smallest for South Sea pearls. This size is elegant and beautiful, and also stays within a demure range without getting overly dramatic.

        9-10mm pearl stud earrings on a model
        The 10.0-11.0mm pearls are right in the "sweet spot" for luxury pearl earring sizes. You'll find very large Freshwater pearls and smaller Tahitian and South Sea pearls in this size range. These pearls still have a moderate feel and weight, and won't fall forward off the ear.

        10-11mm pearl stud earrings on a model
        What women love about 11.0-12.0mm size pearls is that they are unmistakably high-end, luxury pearls. Luminous and luxurious, Angelina Jolie is known for sporting this stud size (and larger!) to many of her red carpet events.

        11-12mm pearl stud earrings on a model
        The 12.0-13.0mm pearl size is one of our largest available, and the largest stud size we recommend for women. Consider dangle earring styles for pearls measuring over 13.0mm due to weight issues. The 12.0-13.0mm size range consists of larger, exotic pearl types like the White and Golden South Sea pearls, black Tahitian pearls and in rare cases, Freshwater pearl types.

        Pearl Dangle Earrings Sizes

        We understand that it can be difficult to visualize how big some of the pearl dangle earrings are when all you have is a number of millimeters or inches.  Even perfectly made photos can be misleading at times. In order to help you understand just how big the pearl dangle earrings you want to order are, before you order them, we put together the nice millimeter to inches comparison chart below.  To give you a bit of a benchmark, the largest pair of pearl dangle earrings we carry is 75 mm in leigh and the smallest pair we carry is just 10mm in length.  While this chart serves as a great starting point, the best way to get an accurate picture of how large your pearl dangle earrings will be is to break out your ruler and use it as a reference.

        All of our sizes are listed in mm as it is the universal measurement for jewelry. The table below shows conversion into inches to make it easier for those that live in the USA to visualize. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance or clarification.

        Earrings Length (mm.)Earrings Length (in.)Style (dangle models)
        100.39''small, perfect for kids
        150.59''great for kids and teens
        200.78''suit smaller faces well

        301.18''mid-size, suits fuller faces
        351.37''an excellent medium
        401.57''noticeable, but not overpowering
        451.77''larger, ready for primetime
        501.96''the classic large earrings
        552.16''large, but confident
        602.36''making a statement
        652.55''the classic oversized earrings
        702.75''in a world all your own
        752.95''large and in charge

        CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AND WARRANTY

        As we always claim, Pure Pearls offers the best and highest quality Pearl Jewelry at the most affordable prices in Indonesia, a country which is famous as №1 producer of South Sea Pearl in the world. The quality of our gems is comparable with any international standards of Pearl Jewelry Craft! That is why each pearl jewelry purchased from the Fair Pearls website is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

        As well as ensuring the pearls origin, the Certificate is your warranty that the pearls you have purchased are Cultured Saltwater or Freshwater Pearls. We are offering such documents with absolute confidence since we ourselves grow, made, select, buy, and export our crafting materials from reliable sources directly.

        To this date, there’s still no set, internationally agreed-upon grading scale for pearls. That means that pearl grading is subjective, depending on the seller you’re dealing with.FairPearls.com uses the A-AAA Grading Scale, which is a simple and straight forward grading system based upon specific percentages for attributes like surface blemishing, luster rating (the sharpness of reflections), color/overtone and shape, among others.

        If in any case, the pearls mentioned in the bought certificate are not matching with what a Gem Testing Laboratory can testify to a buyer (if it is a fake pearl or there are Fresh Water pearls instead of South Sea Pearls), we will refund to such buyer all money he paid as fast as we can - in 14 days time maximum.

        Please know, that we also provide a Warranty from the date of purchase against faulty workmanship. In such cases, we will replace any bought item no questions asked. Damage through misuse/accidental damage/user error and the like and re-stringing is excluded from our warranty policy.

        Please remember, that Fair Pearls must be informed in writing (email preferred) of any claims/suspected faults/defects and the like as soon as such information became known.

        3 reviews for Minimalist South Sea Pearl Earrings #90 (variations)

        1. Travis Vasquez –

          Absolutely the best gift I have bought online. I usually am on here buying for myself, but when the right woman comes along a man will do funny things. I first ordered some diamond ring but the quality and size were subpar, but when I saw the pearl earrings I had mere minutes to make a decision so I could make sure they arrived on time for the wonderful woman’s birthday. Jackpot. Even the box they come in is really nice. I also ordered the 7.5 inch clamshell bracelet from the same Fair Pearls seller.
          Fellas if you want your lady to be happy while at the same time making you look better because of how classy these earrings are . . . order them. Another great incentive guys is they pick up light, similar to a diamond, so this jewelry looks good on your gal without a dress on also!

        2. Imelda Chua –

          I ordered a custom made Gold SS pearl earrings. The seller did not disappoint. She chose what I required which is round, with good lustre. She communicates well and made sure I was happy with the choice. It also comes with a certificate. I have to say I was hesitant at first to order online as this is an expensive purchase. She definitely earned my trust and will be buying more from the seller. Thank you again for creating beautiful, elegant jewellery with authentic SS pearls.
          I have attached photos of the earrings which I believe is more beautiful than in real life than in photos!

          I was concerned initially about ordering jewelry off of the internet. Especially something like pearls, where there is a lot of wiggle room for what is considered a ’round’ pearl. The Fair Pearls shop did not disappoint. Their pearls are perfectly round, large and beautiful! I bought pearl earrings for my girlfriend and I am definitely going to recommend that other people use Fair Pearls in the future!
          In addition to being fantastic quality pearls, the shipping was insanely fast! Thank you a lot!

        5 out of 5

        Thank you very much for this beautiful golden south sea pearl necklace. I've always wanted this and have shopped around for the best quality and price. I'm so glad I came upon this site. Excellent customer service, I had this custom made and she communicated all the time with me, sending photos of pearls to choose from and they type of clasp I can choose from. It was sent as soon as I paid for it. I have to say I was a bit nervous since this is a big purchase but I can say it is all worth it as the quality and workmanship is excellent. It's so beautiful, the lustre and the quality of the pearls are as what she said, and more beautiful in person. Customer service is also outstanding. I will definitely be back for more. This company is trustworthy and really cares about their customers. FIVE STARS!!!!

        Efficient South Sea Pearl Necklace ##113

        5 out of 5

        For the amount of money paid, I'm extremely satisfied with the necklace received. My girlfriend loves it, and I appreciate that I didn't have to pay department store markup. The quality of the pearls is quite good with nice color, and good luster. I didn't notice any terrible scratches or something like that, which can apparently be an issue with lower-priced pearls. Not so here. The gift box the necklace arrived in was also quite nice, and doesn't have any tacky logos or anything on it - just a nice, simple box. Pretty impressed with the value. These pearls exceeded my expectations. Shopping online for an item like this is generally difficult to do. An item like pearls is best to be seen in person before making a purchase. But I couldn't help but notice all of the great reviews and after several trips to local stores, I decided to take the chance with these. Sure enough, these pearls were accepted with great joy and I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

        Positive South Sea Pearl Earrings ##154

        4 out of 5

        I bought the 10 mm pearl earrings and they were bigger than what I had anticipated. I was afraid that they might be too small but they are the perfect size! The pearls arrived in a nice jewelry box with "Certificate of Authenticity" which simply states that buyer got South Sea cultured pearls, they are guaranteed to be 100% natural pearl farmed in Indonesia, etc. The This product is really nice for the price. I bought it to replace a more expensive pair of pearl earrings that were stolen by my aide. In the box, they have a really nice creamy color and not such of a "ceiling white" color. When they are on, the color is more white but it's very attractive. Overall, it was a great purchase and I would do it again. The company seems to want to help you get what you really want and I appreciate that.

        Grand South Sea Pearl Necklace & Earrings Set #112

        5 out of 5

        I am a fairly new online shopper. My daughter-in law has been a fan for a few years. When I tired online shopping a few months ago I was skeptical about online. I am now an ardent believer . Prime delivery services is a key part of the valve i see. The pearl necklace recently ordered was for my wife birthday. I had put off shopping in local jewelry store because I was very very busy. I went online to Google.com to shop for jewelry and saw Fair Pearls company and immediately knew it would be a great gift for my wife. She had been hinting for weeks about gift ideas. I ordered the necklace and a matching set of earrings. I got both items in my hands in 2 weeks and I did not have to spend any time going to the store. My wife was elated with the quality of the pearls and clamshell she received for her birthday.

        Juicy South Sea Pearl Brooch ##170

        5 out of 5

        These are absolutely beautiful. I usually buy from a well known retail jeweler, but not only are these far superior in beauty (even to the untrained eye), I got way more "bang for the buck." I rarely write reviews even though I'm pretty much a nightly online shopper. I was compelled to write a review by my complete satisfaction with the fantastic box this brooch came in, the delivery time, and of course, the brooch itself. My girlfriend has many possessions, including lots of jewelry. She is not the type to feign being impressed to please me... In fact, you might say she's quite willing to critique products down to details I am not really expert enough to discern. I have purchased her pearls before. Some she liked and some she didn't care for as much. She was absolutely thrilled with this brooch and described in detail why it is superior, and why she loved it so. Let's face it, I missed some of the details in her extremely complimentary review - but I'll say this: I agree with her. These are perhaps the most beautiful and well matched pearls I've ever seen. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase, and, more importantly, so was she.

        Divine South Sea Pearl Necklace ##161

        5 out of 5

        I thought about purchasing a nice set of pearls for my wife for some time, but never pulled the trigger due to the cost. Any set of pearls I previously stumbled upon that were in my price range were lacking in quality and often had numerous poor reviews. This Christmas I decided to browse the web again for pearls after doing some research and educating myself. I wanted the pearls to be as close as round as possible with minimal imperfections. Additionally, my wife doesn't usually wear lavish jewelry and is fairly modest, so I settled on the South Sea pearls. I wanted the piece to be classy, but also something she could wear with a lot of different outfits. Fortunately, I found this single strand necklace from the FairPearls.com. It had all the intangibles I was looking for and was at a very competitive price compared to others I reviewed. I was nervous before receiving the package. This necklace was to be a gift, and I really wanted to believe that I wasn't going to get an inferior product. I didn't. The pearls were in great condition. The necklace has a solid medium weight that only real pearls can provide. The pearls themselves were very round and more on the 10mm side. Overall we are very pleased with this necklace and would buy from this shop again. My one complaint may be more of a shipping complaint and not the fault of Fair Pearls, but the outer packaging and inner box were both damaged cosmetically. Not a big deal as the necklace was fine. My wife loves each pearl and I couldn't be happier with the quality. While I admit I am a layperson to expensive jewelry and pearls in general, my entire experience with the Fair Pearls has been spectacular, from the informative item descriptions, the quick delivery, and to the stunning final product. I would recommend this product immensely, and tell anyone that they believe they cannot find a good set of pearls without breaking the bank that they are WRONG. Cheers

        This ring is absolutely gorgeous. The pearl is large, but not in a tacky way. I debated for months on which pearl ring to get and finally settled on this one. My problem was analyzing the pictures too much. I must say – this ring looks so much better than the images show! It’s not too big, not too small. I wear it as a right hand ring and it looks so much better on than I thought it would. The fit was as expected, and it looks like it’s well made. I’ll see how it holds up, hopefully well, but I am very happy with my purchase. Let me tell this one more time… This ring is of exceptional quality. I’m sensitive to metals so whenever I see sterling silver I am getting nervous as the quality of sterling silver can differ from company to company. This ring has not caused any irritation at all and I have owned it for a month. I DEFINITELY recommend this ring as someone who loves pearls, quality jewelry and a great bargain.
