Nucleated pearl
Baroque
Formed when nacre grows unevenly around the nucleus, creating an irregular, organic silhouette.
Keshi
Formed through irregular nacre growth, often creating a small, freeform surface with strong luster.
Stick
Formed around a long or narrow core, guiding the pearl into a vertical stick-like shape.
Heart
Formed around a heart-shaped core or through guided nacre growth into a heart-like form.
Cross
Formed around a cross-shaped structure, allowing nacre to build around each direction of the form.
Non-nucleated pearl
Rebirth Pearl
Formed through spontaneous nacre accumulation, often resulting in a raw and highly irregular form.
Bun Pearl
Formed when nacre builds into a rounded, slightly domed shape without a perfectly spherical structure.
Circled Pearl
Formed when natural growth creates visible circular ridges or ring-like textures on the surface.
Mini Grain Pearl
Formed from small points of nacre growth, resulting in tiny grain-like pearls.
Double-Sided Pearl
Formed with two visually distinct sides, often showing different shapes, colors, or surface qualities.
Magnolia Pearl
Formed when nacre spreads into a soft, petal-like shape reminiscent of a magnolia flower.
Big Petal Pearl
Formed through broad, flat nacre growth, creating a larger petal-like form.
Drop Keshi
Formed without a bead nucleus, with nacre naturally growing into a small teardrop shape.
Flat Keshi
Formed when nacre spreads in a thin, flat layer, creating a lightweight irregular shape.
Cotton Round Pearl
Formed through soft, rounded nacre accumulation without a perfect bead nucleus.
White
Clean and luminous, white pearls are formed by pale nacre layers that reflect light softly, often with subtle ivory, rose, or silver undertones.
Golden
Purple pearls show lavender or violet tones created by natural pigments and light reflection within the nacre.
Pink
Pink pearls reveal rose, peach, or blush overtones through layered nacre, giving each pearl a soft natural glow.
Purple
Purple or lavender tones are often seen in freshwater pearls and are influenced by organic pigments, nacre thickness, and the way light interacts with the pearl surface.
Gray
Gray pearls develop from cool body color and silver overtones, often shifting between silver-gray, blue-gray, and lavender-gray.
Blue
Blue pearls gain their rare tone from cool nacre, blue overtones, and optical reflection, creating a shifting ocean-like glow.
