Pearl Size

Size:

Size is another factor best left to personal preference. Some people like smaller, more delicate cultured pearls from 3.0 mm to 5.0 mm, while others like larger, 6mm, and up pearls. Size affects price; the larger the pearl, the more valuable it is. However, factors such as luster also affect the price - a smaller pearl with a better luster can sometimes equal the cost of a larger, less lustrous pearl.
