Measuring Pearls

Pearls are measured in millimeters, with the size referring to the diameter of the pearl. The larger the diameter, the bigger the pearl. It's important to note that the size of a pearl can significantly impact its value and overall appearance.

Common Pearl Sizes

Common pearl sizes range from 6mm to 10mm, with 7mm and 8mm being the most popular sizes for necklaces and earrings. Larger pearls, such as those above 10mm, are considered more rare and valuable.
