A readable grade
Ask for the inspection sheet or certificate. If the grade exists only in the seller's sentence, price the pearl as ungraded.
Pearl jewelry in Seminyak, by appointment
Graded Indonesian South Sea pearls, loose and finished, brought to your Seminyak or Petitenget hotel. Each piece is quoted in writing per grade and size, with grades confirmed by inspection.
Why buy by appointment in Seminyak
Seminyak has no pearl farms. Pinctada maxima grows in Lombok and Sumbawa waters, around Raja Ampat and off Bali's Buleleng, Karangasem and Negara, all hours from Jalan Kayu Aya. An appointment shortens the chain: trays come from the export desk to you.
You pay against a written grade, not a window ticket. Much of Indonesia's output leaves the country loose, graded and quoted per gram, and that wholesale logic is open to travellers here.
- Indonesia, 2014
- Roughly 45% of global South Sea production, around USD 500 million
- Lombok, 2023
- Shipments past IDR 507.9 billion, more than double 2022's IDR 209.2 billion
- 2023 buyers
- Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, the US and Switzerland, among others
Boutique walk-in or desk appointment
Boutiques win on speed: for a souvenir under roughly USD 50, walk in. Appointments earn their keep from about USD 150 up, where grade moves price sharply.

- Luster, nacre thickness, surface, size, shape and colour move the number. AAA or AA is a trade convention, not a government standard.
- Indonesian goldens run light champagne. A "deep gold Lombok pearl" deserves a second question.
Market studies report IDR 100,000 to 5,000,000 per gram by type and grade; one Indonesian producer spans USD 2 to 7,500 per single pearl.
