There are several quality attributes that determine the value of a pearl. Pearl Type = South Sea cultured pearls are the most valuable, followed by Tahitian, akoya and freshwater. Pearl Luster = The quantity and quality of light reflected from the pearl. Surface/Nacre = The surface cleanliness and quality of the nacre. Shape = Round is the most valuable. Color = Color value depends on type of pearl. Size = The larger the pearl, if all other factors are equal, the more valuable it is.
