What are the size of the pearls

Size is a key determining factor in the price of pearls. Pearls get their size from the thickness of nacre and the size of the implant nucleus. The thicker the nacre, the more luminous the pearl. Beware the size of the nucleus because if the implant is large, the nacre will not be as thick, resulting in cracking and discoloration. Pure Pearls does not consider pearls with thin nacre acceptable and only offers high quality pearls with thick nacre. Nacre thickness can be confirmed by an expert.
