Pearls have been treasured for centuries, gracing the ears of royalty and adorning ancient sculptures. Even as far back as 6th century BC, India boasted thriving pearl fisheries in the Gulf of Mannar. These luminous gems have captivated hearts across cultures with their natural beauty and unmatched elegance.
Today, real pearl earrings remain a symbol of sophistication, offering a touch of timeless luxury for every occasion. Let's explore the world of natural pearl earrings and discover how to find the perfect pair for you
The price of real pearl earrings in India can vary greatly depending on several factors:
Pearl Type
There are two main categories of pearls: freshwater and Akoya saltwater. Akoya pearls are generally more expensive due to their superior luster and round shape.
Pearl Size
Naturally, larger pearls will command a higher price tag.
Pearl Quality
The luster, surface quality, and color of the pearl all contribute to its value. Pearls with higher luster, blemish-free surfaces, and desirable colors like white or rose will be more expensive.
Setting
The type of metal used in the earring setting (silver, gold, platinum) and any additional gemstones can also influence the price.
Affordability and Style
The good news is that real pearl earrings can be surprisingly affordable, especially for freshwater pearls. You can find beautiful stud earrings with smaller pearls for under ₹5,000. For a more substantial look, expect to pay ₹10,000 or more for larger pearls or more elaborate settings.
