## Pearl guides
<!--pa:guides-->
- [How Pearls are Harvested](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyharvest.html): Cultured pearls are harvested by lifting the oysters from the farm, opening each shell at a harvesting facility and gently removing the pearl. Before harvest, farmers spend six months to four years feeding the oysters, cleaning their shells and treating them against parasites. Healthy South Sea and Tahitian oysters can then be nucleated again to grow another pearl.
- [How Pearls are Brought to Market](https://www.americanpearl.com/historymarket.html): After harvest, pearls are sorted by hand into size, shape, color and luster grades, then drilled and matched into strands. It is slow work: fewer than half of nucleated oysters survive, only about 20 percent of the survivors produce a marketable pearl, and as few as 5 percent produce a round, lustrous gem. Matching 47 pearls for a 16-inch necklace can mean sorting through more than 10,000.
- [Know your Akoya Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyknowjp.html): Akoya pearls are the classic round, white saltwater pearls grown in the small Akoya oyster, mostly in the cool seas of southern Japan. Kokichi Mikimoto produced the first fully round cultured pearl in 1905, and Japanese cultured pearls reached the jewelry market in the 1920s. Today about two thousand independent Japanese growers harvest Akoya pearls.
- [Akoya Pearl Cultivation](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjpcul.html): Akoya pearls are cultivated in the Akoya oyster (Pinctada fucata), most of which are now bred in hatcheries. A pearl farmer opens each oyster and places a shell bead with a piece of mantle tissue inside; the oyster coats it in nacre. An Akoya pearl grows for about 10 to 18 months before harvest, and each oyster produces only one pearl.
- [Akoya Pearl Harvesting](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjphar.html): Akoya pearls are harvested after about 10 to 18 months, when each oyster is lifted, opened and checked for a pearl. Akoya farming is hard: fewer than half of the oysters survive nucleation, each one grows only a single pearl, and fewer than 5 percent of the pearls harvested each year are high quality.
- [Akoya Pearl Processing](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjppro.html): After harvest, Akoya pearls are sorted by size, color and luster to Japan’s strict matching standards, drilled through the center by hand, and usually given a light bleach and tint to even out the color across a strand. These finishing steps are meant to be permanent and do not change with normal wear.
- [Akoya Pearl Quality Evaluation](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjpeval.html): Akoya pearls are graded on six quality factors: luster, surface, shape, color, size and nacre quality. Luster matters most, because it is what makes a pearl glow. Evaluators sort roughly 10,000 Akoya pearls to find enough for one perfectly matched strand.
- [Luster of Akoya Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjplus.html): Akoya pearls are known for the sharpest, most mirror-like luster of all cultured pearls. They grow in the cool waters off Japan, which slows nacre growth and packs the nacre crystals tightly, so the surface reflects light brilliantly even though Akoya nacre is often only about half a millimeter thick.
- [Surface of Akoya Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjpsur.html): Most Akoya pearls have clean or very clean surfaces, because they grow for a short time and are held to strict Japanese grading standards. Small marks such as bumps, circles, spots, pits and wrinkles are non-damaging and do not get worse. Cracks or chips from sorting or drilling are damaging and can grow over time.
- [Shape of Akoya Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjpsha.html): The most common Akoya pearl shapes are round, semi-round, drop and baroque; Akoya pearls are rarely button, circled or oval. Perfectly round Akoya pearls are the rarest and cost the most, but baroque Akoya pearls are just as lustrous and are chosen for their individuality.
- [Color of Akoya Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjpcol.html): Akoya pearls come in white, rose, silver, cream, gold, blue and gray, most often white with a rose or silver overtone. The colors are delicate rather than exotic, and a fine strand is sorted so every pearl matches in color, shape and luster.
- [Size of Akoya Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyjpsize.html): Akoya pearls range from about 2 to 10mm, and the average is about 7mm, because the Akoya oyster is small. Farmers cannot know a pearl’s size until the oyster is opened, so many Akoya strands are graduated or have a half-millimeter size range, such as 7 to 7.5mm.
- [Quality Factor One: Luster](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyqluster.html): Luster is the most important pearl quality factor. It combines brilliance, how sharply the surface reflects light, with the inner glow that comes from light passing through the nacre. High-luster pearls look bright and reflect nearby objects clearly; low-luster pearls look dull, chalky or flat white, usually because their nacre is thin.
- [Quality Factor Two: Surface](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyqsurface.html): Surface quality describes how many flaws are on the outside of a pearl, graded from clean to heavily blemished. After luster it is the biggest factor in a pearl’s value. Spots, bumps, pits, circles and wrinkles are non-damaging; cracks and chips, often near the drill hole, are damaging and can grow.
- [Quality Factor Three : Shape](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyqshape.html): Pearls fall into eight general shapes: round, semi-round, drop, button, oval, circled (ringed), baroque and semi-baroque. Perfectly round pearls are the rarest and usually the most valuable. Baroque pearls cost less but can be just as lustrous. Because pearls are never cut like gemstones, shape is fixed by the oyster.
- [Quality Factor Four : Color](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyqcolor.html): Pearls range from white to black and across the spectrum, and no color is better than another. Color refers to the pearl’s body color, not its luster or overtone. Rose, silver and white pearls tend to flatter fair skin; cream and gold pearls often flatter deeper complexions. Some pearls are polished, bleached or dyed before sale.
- [Quality Factor Five : Size](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyqsize.html): Pearls are measured by diameter in millimeters, from under 1mm to more than 20mm. Size is not a measure of quality, but it drives price: with every other factor equal, a larger pearl is worth more. The most popular size for a pearl necklace is 7 to 7.5mm.
- [Know your South Sea Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyknowwp.html): South Sea pearls, often called the “Rolls Royce” of cultured pearls, are the large white and golden pearls grown off Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and nearby waters. Natural South Sea pearls were prized for thousands of years and nearly fished out by the 19th century; cultured South Sea pearls were first harvested commercially in the 1950s.
- [South Sea Pearl Cultivation](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywpcul.html): South Sea pearls are cultivated in the large White lipped oyster, Pinctada maxima. Divers collect wild oysters under strict quotas, farmers nucleate them in clean, isolated bays, and each oyster is X-rayed after 3 to 4 months to check it kept its nucleus. A South Sea pearl grows for 2 to 3 years.
- [South Sea Pearl Harvesting](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywphar.html): South Sea pearls are harvested after 2 to 3 years, when the oysters are brought ashore and technicians carefully open each shell to remove the pearl without harming the oyster. Healthy oysters receive a new nucleus and can be reused up to four more times. The long growing time gives South Sea pearls some of the thickest nacre of any saltwater pearl.
- [South Sea Pearl Processing](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywppro.html): South Sea pearls need almost no processing. Their thick nacre means they are not bleached, dyed or enhanced; they are simply cleaned and lightly polished. A fine cultured South Sea pearl looks identical to a natural pearl, and only an X-ray can tell them apart.
- [South Sea Pearl Quality Evaluation](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywpeval.html): South Sea pearls are graded on size, luster, shape, color and surface. The finest are large, round, highly lustrous and nearly unblemished, and these are extremely rare: the 2-to-3-year growing period leaves more time for flaws, and the oyster that grows them is a wild species.
- [Luster of South Sea Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywplus.html): South Sea pearls have a soft, rich, satiny luster rather than the sharp mirror shine of Akoya pearls. Their very thick nacre gives a deep glow and an iridescence thinner-nacred pearls cannot match. More lustrous South Sea pearls are rarer and priced higher.
- [Surface of South Sea Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywpsur.html): South Sea pearl surfaces are graded from clean to heavily blemished, looking for bumps, cracks, circles, spots, pits and wrinkles. A few small marks are normal and often do not reduce beauty or value, because flawless South Sea pearls are so rare after 2 to 3 years of growth.
- [Shape of South Sea Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywpsha.html): South Sea pearls come in round, semi-round, baroque, semi-baroque, drop, button, oval, circle and ringed shapes. Round South Sea pearls are the rarest, because a lot can change in 2 to 3 years of growth. Round and drop shapes usually cost the most.
- [Color of South Sea Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywpcol.html): The most common South Sea pearl colors are white, silver, pink and gold. Where they are grown sets the color: Australian South Sea pearls are usually white or silver, while Philippine and Indonesian pearls are creamier and more golden. Color affects price mainly through preference and demand.
- [Size of South Sea Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historywpsize.html): South Sea pearls are among the largest cultured pearls, usually 8 to 22mm with an average of about 15mm. Smaller South Sea pearls, from 2 to 8mm, are usually baroque keshi pearls, which are solid nacre with no nucleus.
- [Tahitian Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyknowbt.html): Tahitian pearls are the dark, naturally colored pearls of French Polynesia. Despite the name, they are farmed across the atolls of French Polynesia rather than on Tahiti itself, which is the trading hub. The first thousand cultured Tahitian pearls good enough for necklaces were harvested in the mid-1960s.
- [Tahitian Pearl Cultivation](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtcul.html): Tahitian pearls grow only in the black-lip oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, farmed in the lagoons of French Polynesia. Farmers raise the oysters from young, nucleate only mature ones, and let each pearl grow for 2 to 3 years. Oysters that produce a fine pearl may be nucleated again.
- [Tahitian Pearl Harvesting](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybthar.html): Tahitian pearl harvests are small, because black-lip oysters are less plentiful than other pearl oysters. Farmers lift the oyster nets, open each shell with special tools and remove the pearl. Productive oysters are nucleated again, up to four times, and the last pearl an oyster makes is often a mabe pearl.
- [Tahitian Pearl Processing](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtpro.html): Fine Tahitian pearls are not bleached or dyed. After harvest they are simply cleaned, dried and lightly polished, so their dark colors are natural. They come in black, gray, green, blue, purple and silvery tones, and Tahiti serves as the trading hub for pearls grown across French Polynesia.
- [Tahitian Pearl Quality Evaluation](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybteval.html): Tahitian pearls are graded on color, luster, size, surface, shape and nacre thickness. Large, round pearls are worth the most, and the finest show a vivid overtone and shimmering orient. Round Tahitian pearls are the hardest to culture.
- [Tahitian Pearl Luster](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtlus.html): Tahitian pearl luster is graded poor, fair, good or excellent. Poor luster looks dim and diffused; excellent luster gives bright, distinct reflections. Fine Tahitian pearls also show orient, an iridescent play of color across the surface that you see as you turn the pearl.
- [Surface of Tahitian Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtsur.html): Tahitian pearl surface quality ranges from clean to heavily blemished. Because the pearls grow for 2 to 3 years, small spots, bumps, pits, wrinkles and rings are common. Minor marks can add character, but heavily blemished pearls are worth far less than clean ones.
- [Shape of Tahitian Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtsha.html): The most sought-after Tahitian pearl shape is round, which is also the rarest and most expensive. Tahitian pearls also come semi-round, button, pear, drop, oval, baroque, semi-baroque and ringed. Off-round shapes are common after a 2-to-3-year growth period and cost less.
- [Color of Tahitian Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtcol.html): Tahitian “black” pearls are really shades of gray with vivid overtones. The colors include peacock, green, black-green, dark green, eggplant, blue, gray, parchment, lemon and golden orange. Peacock and cobalt blue are the most prized.
- [Size of Tahitian Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/historybtsize.html): Tahitian pearls usually range from 8 to 18mm, with an average of about 13mm. With other factors equal, larger Tahitian pearls are worth more, but luster, surface and shape matter too, and the right size is the one the wearer loves.
- [Cultured Pearl Gifts and Gift-Giving](https://www.americanpearl.com/historygift.html): Pearls suit almost any occasion: weddings, the 30th (pearl) anniversary, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, graduations, promotions and June birthdays, since pearl is the June birthstone. A pearl necklace is the classic first gift; necklaces make up more than 60 percent of cultured pearl jewelry sales.
<!--/pa:guides-->
- [Pearl Answers](https://www.americanpearl.com/pearl-answers.html): American Pearl's hub of straight answers to the questions pearl buyers ask most, grouped by topic: buying and value, pearl types compared, how pearls are made, size and length, care and restringing, and styles.
- [How Do Oysters Make Pearls?](https://www.americanpearl.com/historyoyster.html): Oysters make pearls to protect themselves, coating an irritant between shell and mantle in layers of nacre. Cultured pearls start the same way, except a pearl farmer places the nucleus. A pearl takes about six months to four years to grow.
- [Cultured Pearls vs. Freshwater Pearls: The Difference](https://www.americanpearl.com/cultfresh.html): Almost every pearl sold today is cultured, including freshwater pearls — so “cultured vs. freshwater” is not a real contrast. The meaningful difference is saltwater (Akoya, Tahitian, South Sea) versus freshwater: saltwater pearls grow in oysters and are rounder and more lustrous; freshwater pearls grow in mussels in lakes and rivers and are more affordable.
- [A Brief History of Pearls -Story of Pearls, Facts about Pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/history.html): Pearls are the oldest gem known to people — prized for thousands of years in ancient China, Persia, Egypt and Rome, when only natural pearls existed. Kokichi Mikimoto’s cultured-pearl technique in the early 1900s made pearls widely available, and today nearly all pearls sold are cultured.
- [Akoya Pearl: Value and How to Identify Quality](https://www.americanpearl.com/step2learhow.html): Akoya pearl quality is judged on seven factors — luster, surface, shape, nacre, color, size and matching — with luster and surface mattering most. A fine Akoya strand shows sharp, mirror-like reflections, few surface marks, round pearls and an even match from pearl to pearl.
- [Pearls - A note about pealrs that are Mikimoto pearls Blue Lagoon](https://www.americanpearl.com/pearlslagoon.html): “Blue Lagoon” is a trade name for pearls sold by Mikimoto, not a separate pearl variety. The pearls themselves are cultured Akoya or South Sea pearls, and comparable quality is available without a brand-name premium.
- [Pearls-Akoya versus freshwater pearls](https://www.americanpearl.com/pearlsakoya.html): Japanese Akoya pearls are saltwater pearls known for round shape and a sharp, mirror-like luster; freshwater pearls are grown in mussels, come in more shapes and natural colors, and cost less. Choose Akoya for the classic bright white strand and freshwater for value and variety.
- [PRICE COMPARISONS (A STUDY OF &quot;MIKIMOTO&quot; vs. PEARLS BY WEB)](https://www.americanpearl.com/priccom.html): This study compares the retail price of famous brand-name pearl necklaces with equivalent strands bought direct from a pearl wholesaler. Because pearl value comes from size and quality — not the brand name — buying direct typically saves 60% or more.
- [Understanding Pearl Quality](https://www.americanpearl.com/understanding-akoya-cultured-pearl-quality.html): The GIA pearl grading system evaluates seven value factors: size, shape, color, luster, surface, nacre quality and matching. Luster and surface have the greatest effect on an Akoya pearl’s beauty and price.
- [American Pearl Appears on Fox 5 For Variety Children&#x27;s Fund](https://www.americanpearl.com/ampeaponfox5.html): American Pearl appeared on Fox 5 in support of the Variety Children’s Charity, highlighting the company’s community philanthropy led by its president, Eddie Bakhash.
- [American Pearl Category - Japanese Akoya Pearl Jewelry](https://www.americanpearl.com/whatsnew-ja.html): Japanese Akoya pearls are saltwater pearls grown in the small Akoya oyster (Pinctada fucata), usually 2–10mm, prized for their round shape and bright, mirror-like luster — the classic white pearl necklace.
- [SOUTH SEA PEARLS](https://www.americanpearl.com/southseapearls.html): South Sea pearls are the largest cultured pearls, grown in the Pinctada maxima oyster in Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines (white and golden) and in the Pinctada margaritifera in French Polynesia (black Tahitian). They typically measure 9–20mm.
- [Mabe Pearl Jewelry: Rings, Earrings, Necklaces](https://www.americanpearl.com/mabepage.html): A mabe pearl is a half-sphere (blister) pearl grown against the inside of the oyster’s shell instead of inside its body. Its flat back and large, lustrous dome make it ideal for earrings, rings and pendants at an accessible price.
