Conch Pearls

In Conch pearls there is no nacre, so they are not actual pearls. These gems are calcareous concentrations. It is produced in a Queen Conch mollusk from the Caribbean Islands. Since there is no method of culturing these mollusks, they are extremely rare and valuable.

Conch pearls are usually small in size and baroque or oval in shape. Most Conch pearls are pink, yellow, brown, white or golden. White and Brown colored pearls are most rare. Conch pearls are heavier, harder, and more resistant than any other pearls.

With these beautiful colors, Conch Pearls have an important surface feature called a “Flame structure”. This structure gives burning a appearance to pearl's surface. This structure appears in pink and pink-white colors. This flame structure is unique for conch pearls and not seen on any other gemstone.
