While often smaller than South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls can also grow quite large, with average sizes ranging from 8 to 14 millimeters.

Freshwater

Freshwater pearls are quite possibly the most versatile of all pearls. They come in a myriad of different shapes, sizes and colors. While rarely round, the finest freshwater pearls are nearly indistinguishable from more expensive akoya pearls.

Traditionally, freshwater pearls range in size from 6 to 10 mm, but recent innovations in freshwater pearl farming have given birth to a new generation of pearls that grow as large as 15 mm.

Prices of freshwater strands can range from $50 to $2,000
