Green Pearl
How rare is a white, pink, and green pearl?
I bought a medium sized pearl with the colors white, pink, and green in it. I was told that this is very rare and can be pretty expensive, and am wondering if this is true. How rare is this pearl, and how much should it usually cost?
If this helps – The pearl is actually white based with hints of pink and green in it. It is not dyed that color, I went to a place where you pick out pearls from the clams yourself.
The pearl is likely treated. What they do not tell you at the place where you pick the pearls out of the oyster is that the oyster they opened is not the original host. In other words, the pearl was put into the oyster – it did not grown there.
There are factories in Japan and China that specialize in this. They insert a pearl into a small pearl oyster and then drop the shell into a solution of alcohol and other chemicals. This causes the shell to constrict and die so it appears as though you are opening a shell and finding a pearl when you visit the kiosk selling “pearls in oysters”.
The seeded shells cost $2 to $5 (around $2 in China and $5 in Japan) and most pearls are around 7 millimeters. The value on a wholesale level for the grade they use is very close to the selling price of the shell.
