How much does a Bali South Sea pearl cost in 2026?

Indicative examples run USD 60–380 for 9–10 mm singles up to USD 650–4,800 for clean 14–16 mm pearls. The written quotation after you pick from a lot sheet is the confirmed price.

Are golden pearls from Bali and Lombok genuine Pinctada maxima?

Yes, from the gold-lipped Pinctada maxima, the same species as the white material. Indonesian goldens tend to light champagne; deep mustard is typical of Philippine production.

Can I buy one pearl instead of a strand?

Yes. Singles from 9 to 16 mm sell per piece, and most single-pearl orders are one to five pieces. The quotation covers only the pearls you chose.

Do pearls need export permits to leave Indonesia?

For commercial export, yes: export approval, a Sertifikat Mutu, a certificate of origin where required, and the BKIPM health certificate. We handle all of it inside the quote.

Which countries do you ship to?

Lombok's pearl trade reaches Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, China, Thailand, the US, India, Switzerland, Singapore, the UAE and more. Your quotation lists what each destination needs.

AAA, AA and A are trade conventions, not a government standard. Any grade we state comes from inspection or a certificate.
Shape and surface move price as much as size. A clean 11 mm round can outprice a spotted 14 mm baroque.
Strands are quoted per strand. Matching every pearl on colour, luster and surface is the expensive part.
Indonesian goldens run light champagne. A deep mustard "Lombok golden" deserves harder questions.

For context, Indonesian market studies report IDR 100,000 to 5,000,000 per gram by type and grade.

Why Lombok and Bali waters matter

Origin is the supply story, not decoration. One industry source put Indonesia at roughly 45% of world South Sea pearl production in 2014, much of it exported loose.

Climate pressure and illegal fishing moved the industry from wild collection to cultured farms, so water quality and farm practice are fair questions. Our answers come from the inspection record.

Farm areas: Lombok, Sumbawa, Raja Ampat and north Bali (Buleleng, Karangasem, Negara)
Trade centre: Sekarbela, Lombok
Lombok, 2023: Pearl shipments above IDR 507.9 billion, up from IDR 209.2 billion in 2022
Buyer markets: Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, China, Thailand, the US and 20+ more
