| Cultured pearls are beautiful and valued for their unique shapes and individually formed quality. However, because no two cultured pearls are exactly alike, their quality can be harder to judge. When you are evaluating the quality of cultured pearls, you must examine them closely to determine if an atypical shape or mark is simply a distinguishing aspect or an actual flaw in the pearl. The six main standards used to evaluate pearl quality are: luster, shape, size, color, and the presence of blemishes, nacre thickness. As a general rule, the overall balance is more important than any single attribute, and it may be helpful to keep this in mind.
