It will depend on the type of pearls. Freshwater and akoya pearls tend to be，7mm, 7.5mm, or 8mm for the most common sizes. And I would say these are also the most common pearl necklaces as well. Tahiti pearls are often 8 to 10.5mm graduating. South sea pearls are often 10 to 13mm.
. . . you left out Quahogs & Melo Melos . Does a matched strand of Quahog pearls even exist? Occasionally a ring will pop up, or a matched pair of earrings, but have yet to find a strand.
This is kind of in the area similar to Conch Pearls as well. I have personally never seen a quahog pearl strand and overall arent as popular is conch pearls. However, Melos are becoming more common, especially in Asia. Thanks for the comment. Very knowledgable.
What you're referring to fall under Freshwater pearls. However, generally there aren't any natural black Freshwater or a true red. But they certainly have lots of colors.
Conch pearls are formed inside of Queen Conch shells which are in the Caribbean. They're a non nacreous pearl so their appearance is different. They look shiny like porcelain and beautiful ones have flames. This is because they have a polycrystalline structure. Conch pearls are also always wild. People have not yet figured out how to culture them.
Thank You for an incredibly informative lesson in pearls. I enjoyed this and learned. Fantastic!
thanks for the knowledge, I'll start off with Akoya.
Accurately Informative, Thanks.
Any tips for picking a good size mm for a strand of pearls to be flattering?

Amazing
what can i do if my pearl get some fungai
I have a Three strand necklace left to me from Grandmother, the pearls are grayish, purple, it's 585 on clasp, how do I determine the type?
Hi I'm from Asia but living here in U.S. My. Family from Asia has a Giant Clamp with pearl on it. 9.2klgs how much does it cost when selling it?
Often these type aren't very valuable. As they're are often shell, rather than pearl. Natural wild pearl often needs a GIA certificate.
@@KyllonenLuxury ahh ok thanks for the info. God bless.
And then there are river clam pearls in a multitude of colors like purple blue black red and multi colored

Will a cultural pearl be gritty to the teeth?
Yes! They glass and plastic tend to be smooth but real pearls have texture.
