Quality and Price

Golden Pearls (often referred to as the Queen of Gems) are prized for their rich colors and rarity. However, when it comes to buying them, it's crucial to understand how the quality and golden moti price is determined. Similar to other gemstones, golden pearls experience significant fluctuations depending on various factors like supply and demand, market speculation, currency exchange rate, cultural significance, and fashion trends. However, the most important factors that mostly navigate the golden pearl price depend on its nacre thickness, type, treatment, origin, color, shape, and surface smoothness.

• Nacre Thickness: 

  Nacre represents the layers of deposition that oyster secrets around the irritant. A thicker nacre generally leads to a more lustrous and reflective surface. Pearls with thicker nacre are less likely to chip, crack, or deteriorate over time. While thin nacre layer pearls may have a dull appearance diminishing the overall golden pearl cost.

• Treatment: 

  Studies suggest that cultured golden pearls typically undergo two treatments: dyeing and heating. Both these methods involve the application of chemical coloring agents to obtain the deceptive golden hue. The application of such treatments can significantly affect the golden pearl stone price. For example, heat-treated golden pearls may command unreasonably higher prices. They may come at starting prices of INR 24837 ($300) to INR 124187 ($1500) per pearl in the international market.

• Type: 

  Golden pearls are typically available in two forms: Natural and Cultured. Natural golden pearls can be bought at starting prices of INR 5,800 ($70.06) to as high as INR.1,09,500 ($1322.60) per pearl. While cultured pearls tend to have relatively lower rates.

• Origin: 

  Golden pearls are primarily cultured in the pristine waters of regions such as the Philippines (around the islands of Palawan and Mindanao), Indonesia ( close to the islands of Bali, Lombok, and Sulawesi), and Myanmar (surrounding the regions of the Mergui Archipelago). Real gold moti price sourced from these places can be worth around INR 8,900 to as high as INR 1,09,000.

Buyer Beware

Processing techniques in cultured pearls have advanced so much that it is extremely challenging to identify various dye treatments applied on pure golden pearls without the use of routine gemological tools such as Raman photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. High-end tools like these can easily detect the dye residue accumulated within the drill holes and surface blemishes of golden pearls. Another way of ensuring you are buying a golden pearl worth the accurate prices in the market is to connect with a reputed dealer or seller who has a reputation for selling natural and certified golden pearls.

Having a hardness of 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, golden pearls are relatively soft gems, meaning they require special care. They can be easily broken by heavy accidental impacts. Therefore it's important to protect your golden pearl jewellery with simple to-dos while cleaning it.

• Additionally, do not apply any makeup-removing agents such as hairspray, makeup remover, perfume, or body creams, it may alter the color or change the luster of the white pearl.
