Plain-language answers

Questions this tool should settle.

Can this calculator appraise my pearls?

No. It is an educational retail-range model, not an appraisal. Provenance, treatments, condition, craftsmanship and laboratory findings can materially change value.

Which quality factor matters most?

All seven interact, but lustre is especially important. Size must always be compared within the same pearl type because typical size ranges differ.

Are cultured pearls real?

Yes. Cultured pearls are real pearls formed in a mollusc with human intervention. They are different from imitation beads made from glass, shell, plastic or composites.
