Bali South Sea pearls for sale through Bali Pearl Jewelry come in two formats — matched strands and single pearls — in white, silver, cream, and golden tones, cultured from Pinctada maxima in Lombok and Bali waters. Availability rotates by harvest, so buying starts with a lot-sheet request; every lot ships with inspection notes and, where required, a BKIPM health certificate.
What Bali South Sea Pearls Are for Sale Right Now?
This page covers two product formats, both drawn from Pinctada maxima harvests in West Nusa Tenggara and north Bali waters:
- Matched strands — typically 35 to 45 pearls, uniform or graduated, matched for color, luster, and surface before stringing. White and silver strands are the volume sellers; golden strands take longer because color-matching an entire strand is slow work.
- Single pearls — individual pearls from 9 mm to 16 mm, sold per piece for ring, pendant, or earring mounting. Buyers pick from photographed lots, not a fixed catalog.
Finished rings, pendants, and earrings live on our finished-jewelry page; bulk undrilled parcels for manufacturers live on the loose-parcel page. This page serves buyers who want strand-ready or mount-ready pearls, one inspected lot at a time.
Indonesian South Sea production concentrates in named areas: Lombok and Sumbawa in West Nusa Tenggara, Raja Ampat in West Papua, and Bali’s Buleleng, Karangasem, and Negara districts — including farms near Menjangan at the island’s northern tip, far from Kuta’s souvenir counters. Sekarbela in Lombok is the recognized retail and trade center, and our lots move through that same Lombok–Bali pipeline.
What Sizes, Shapes, and 2026 Prices Should You Expect?
Pricing is quote-based per grade and size. The USD figures below are indicative examples as of 2026 for single pearls; a written quotation confirms the actual number for your specific lot. For context, Indonesian market studies report pearl prices from IDR 100,000 up to IDR 5,000,000 per gram by type and grade, and single South Sea pearls at one Indonesian producer span USD 2 to USD 7,500 per piece.
| Size bracket | Common shapes | Luster class (trade convention) | Indicative 2026 USD per pearl |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9–10 mm | Round, near-round, drop | A to AAA | 60–380 |
| 10–12 mm | Round, near-round, drop, button | A to AAA | 140–750 |
| 12–14 mm | Round, drop, oval, baroque | A to AAA | 300–1,800 |
| 14–16 mm | Round, drop, baroque | A to AAA | 650–4,800 |
Three notes on reading that table honestly:
- AAA/AA/A charts are trade conventions, not government standards. Any grade we state comes from physical inspection or an accompanying certificate, never from an assumed chart position.
- Shape and surface move price as much as size. A clean 11 mm round can out-price a spotted 14 mm baroque.
- Strands are quoted per strand. Matching cost dominates — assembling 37 pearls that agree on color, luster, and surface is the expensive part, not the individual pearls.
One extra note on goldens. Indonesian and Australian golden South Sea pearls tend toward light champagne tones, while Philippine goldens reach deeper mustard saturation — if a seller shows you a deep mustard “Lombok golden,” ask harder questions.
Why Do Lombok–Bali Waters Matter to Buyers?
Origin is the supply story here, not marketing garnish. One industry source puts Indonesia at roughly 45% of global South Sea pearl production — worth around USD 500 million, about 40% of global production value, as of 2014 — with a large share exported loose rather than as finished jewelry.
The recent numbers are steeper. West Nusa Tenggara trade data shows cultivated pearl shipments from Lombok’s waters exceeded IDR 507.9 billion in 2023 — exports above IDR 430.5 billion plus domestic shipments above IDR 77.4 billion — up from IDR 209.2 billion total in 2022. Buyers that year sat in Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, China, Thailand, the United States, and over twenty more markets. Requesting a lot from this page puts you in the same pipeline, one step earlier.
Climate pressure and illegal fishing have pushed the industry from wild collection toward cultured farms, which makes water quality and farm practice a legitimate buyer question. Ask about sourcing on any lot and the answer comes from the inspection record, not a brochure.
How Does the Request-Available-Lots Flow Work?
- Send your request. WhatsApp or email the BD desk with size bracket, color, shape preference, quantity, and destination country. One line is enough to start.
- Receive the current lot sheet. Within one working day you get photos and video of pearls actually in hand, with per-lot inspection notes covering luster, surface, nacre, and measured sizes.
- Reserve and get a written quotation. Prices are confirmed per grade and size in writing; the quotation, not this page, is the binding number.
- We prepare export documentation. Export approval under the KKP ministerial regulation, Sertifikat Mutu, Certificate of Origin where your destination requires it, and the BKIPM Mataram health certificate issued after physical inspection of the shipment.
- Insured dispatch. Cultured pearls ship under HS code 7101210000 (unworked) or 7101220000 (worked), with tracking to your door or your freight forwarder.
What Documents Travel With Every Lot?
As of 2026, Indonesian regulation is specific about pearl exports: BKIPM Mataram physically inspects every pearl shipment leaving Lombok — domestic and export — and issues a Health Certificate after online shipment reporting.
| Document | Issued by | When you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Lot inspection notes | Bali Pearl Jewelry desk | With every lot, always |
| Health Certificate | BKIPM Mataram | Export and domestic shipments, after physical inspection |
| Sertifikat Mutu (Quality Certificate) | KKP-designated authority | Export shipments |
| Export approval (persetujuan ekspor) | Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries | Export shipments |
| Certificate of Origin | Via the trade ministry | Where the destination country requires it |
Pearls themselves are not CITES-listed, so no KLHK wildlife permit applies — that requirement covers listed corals and protected shells, which do not appear in our strand and single-pearl lots.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Bali South Sea pearls cost per pearl in 2026?
Indicative 2026 examples run USD 60–380 for 9–10 mm singles up to USD 650–4,800 for clean 14–16 mm pearls, while one Indonesian producer’s full range spans USD 2 to USD 7,500 per piece. Pricing is quote-based per grade and size — the written quotation issued after you pick from a lot sheet is the confirmed number.
Are golden South Sea pearls from Bali and Lombok genuine Pinctada maxima?
Yes. Golden South Sea pearls from Indonesian waters come from the gold-lipped Pinctada maxima oyster, the same species that produces the white and silver material. Indonesian and Australian goldens tend toward light champagne tones; deep mustard saturation is typical of Philippine production. Color and grade on any lot we sell come from inspection or accompanying certificates, not assumption.
Can I buy one single pearl instead of a whole strand?
Yes. Single pearls from 9 mm to 16 mm sell per piece for mounting into rings, pendants, or earrings, and most single-pearl orders run one to five pieces. Request the singles lot sheet, choose by photo and inspection notes, and the written quotation covers only the pearls you actually selected.
Do pearls bought in Bali need special export permits to leave Indonesia?
For commercial export, yes. As of 2026, exporters need export approval under a KKP ministerial regulation, a Sertifikat Mutu, and a Certificate of Origin where the destination requires one, while BKIPM Mataram inspects shipments and issues a Health Certificate. We handle all of this inside the quote flow; pearls themselves are not CITES-listed.
Which countries do you ship Bali South Sea pearls to?
Lombok’s 2023 pearl trade reached Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, China, Thailand, the United States, India, Switzerland, Singapore, the UAE, and over twenty more markets, according to West Nusa Tenggara trade data. We quote shipping to any of those destinations and beyond; document requirements vary by country, and your quotation lists exactly what applies.
