The Perfect Pearls is a guide to pearls for people who want to understand what they are looking at: the types, the colors, how quality is judged and how to care for them.
We are not a pearl seller. Every fact comes from a named source, mostly the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), linked on the page where it is used. We do not publish prices we cannot back up; the prices on this site are what readers report paying, shown only once enough people have reported.
