How Much Do Pearls Cost? Or Pearl Value Factor - Shape

Pearl Shapes are generally round or spherical. Truly perfectly saped pearls are a small ration of all the pearls that are cultivated. Shapes can be round to near-round, to a pill shape, coin shape, drops, or completely free form.

Pearls are graded into three major categories. These are Spherical, Symmetrical, and Baroque. Rotund are whether round or near round, non-round Symmetrical pearls have shapes that are the same on each side, and each side is a mirror image of the other. Baroque is the term used to recite those that are completely irregular shapes.

Sometimes the pearl, when growing inside the oyster, develops rings, whether grooves, or ridges nearby the circumference and then the shape of the pearl is modified by the adjective of "circled" or "ringed".

The round or near round symmetricalgems have the highest value. The round or Rotund pearls are a much more rare than all of the other shapes and therefore more valuable. Round pearls can be as low as 2% of the entire harvest.

As in all the other pearl values, the value of roundness by itself does not certify a high price. When we consider pearl value, we must consider all seven value factors sway price.

As with all the Value factors, one trait does not certify a greater value. A perfectly round gem with a dull and lusterless look is not going to be as beautiful as a slightly less round one that has a splendid luster. Or a perfectly round pearl with outside irregularities will be appraised at a lesser estimate than one that is less round with a exquisite surface. Obviously shape is not the only factor in determining pearl cost.
