Most of the time because they are naturally created or cultured and that takes a lot of time to do, years. So it's not a simple, quick process.

Why are all pearls so exspensive?

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.


What pearls are the most expensive a sea pearl or fresh water pearl?

All factors being equal, sea (saltwater) pearls are always more valuable than Freshwater pearls. However, a large, top quality Freshwater pearl can easily be more expensive than a small, low quality saltwater-cultured pearl. High luster, thick coating, smooth surface, minimal blemishes, large size, fascinating colors, and symmetrically shaped pearls are the most valuable. So it is not always the category of pearls, but the quality of the pearl that determines the price.

Are white or black pearls more valuable?

Answer There is no simple answer to this question as it really depends on the type of pearl you are discussing. The most common types of pearls are cultured akoya and cultured freshwater. Neither of these are naturally produced in a black coloration. Black akoya and freshwater attain their coloration from aniline organic dyes or cobalt-60 irradiation. Natural black pearls are known as black South Sea, Tahitian or Cook Island pearls. They are produced by the Pinctada margaritifera black-lip mollusk. These naturally black pearls grow quite large are are typically more valuable than akoya or freshwater pearls. The most valuable of all pearls are those grown in the Pinctada maxima or silver and gold-lip mollusk. These pearls are usually very larger and expensive, and come in colors of white, white with pink overtone, champagne, silver, yellow and gold.
