If you're looking for a piece of fine jewelry, a pearl necklace can be the best option for you.

The problem, of course, is that real pearl necklace can be extremely expensive and may seem out of reach for the majority of people who are interested in such pearl necklace jewelry.

However, the most expensive pearl necklace do not necessarily means that is the best one.

It is possible to get some amazing natural pearl necklace at an affordable price range rather than aiming for the 10 000USD only.

What's the deal with the exorbitant prices?


To assist you in making the best choices and understanding what you are purchasing, I will share with you those critical facts that will help you better understand the price range of Tahitian pearls.

The value of Tahitian pearls is determined by the following factors:

1- Pearl Size: Larger pearls are generally much more valuable than smaller pearls.
Therefore, an 18 to 20inch necklace in 8-10mm pearls size range may be a very good option if you require higher-quality pearls at a more affordable price point ranging from 800USD to 4000USD.
For a 10-12mm necklace you should aim between $1200 and $15,000.
13mm+ can reach incredible pricing! 9000USD+

2- Pearl colors: Pearls come in a variety of colors, and for Tahitian pearls, be aware that Green and Peacock colors are the most valuable due to their difficulty in harvesting flawless gem, but this does not mean they are the most beautiful one. For example multicolor and lighter color pearls can easily look better than only green color necklace and also can be significantly less expensive than focusing exclusively on peacock or green colors pearl necklace, which can double or triple the price per piece.

3- Shape: Round pearls are the most expensive one because they can be used in almost any type of jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and earrings.
However, if you prefer a different shape of pearl meant for specific products, such as a circle or a less round one, the price can also be significantly reduced.

4- Pearl Luster: The most valuable pearls have a lustrous shine as well, a good advice if you are on budget and need to keep your costs down, you can aim for extremely high luster pearls and sacrifice pearl quality. As quality of the pearl only can be noticeable when watching them at a very close range, where as luster can be noticed at a longer range.

5- Surface quality of the pearlAs Tahitian pearl are natural, some pearl have their own flaws, thats where a grading system is needed, of course the highest quality pearls can be extremely expensive.

Conclusion:

Pearl Necklace price depends on your budget and no matter your budget there are pearls for anyone!

For Pearl necklace around 800USD, Ideally you should aim for smaller pearls 8-10mm and you can slowly adjust the criteria if you have a higher budget.

For Pearl necklaces around 1300USD, Ideally you should aim for pearls size around 10-13mm, and slowly adjust the criteria if you have a higher budget. 

Hope this will help you on making a better choice and use your budget better!
