What kind of pearl do I have?

Color, size and shape are the best clues to a pearl's type. We compare them with GIA's typical sizes and colors for each kind of pearl.

Main color

Most likely

    A starting point, not an identification. Dyed pearls can imitate other types, and only a lab can say for sure.

    How it works

    Each pearl type has typical sizes and colors (from GIA). We score your pearl against each type and show the closest matches with the reasons. It is a starting point, not an identification: a dyed freshwater pearl can look like a Tahitian, and only a lab can say for sure.
