Questions About Basra Pearl
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Basra pearls, which originate from the Persian Gulf, are usually much lighter than other varieties of pearls and tend to have irregular shapes. When you feel a genuine Basra pearl, it will be cool at first, then warm up when worn. Authenticate a Basra pearl with the "tooth test," where you rub the pearl against your front teeth. If the texture is slightly rough, then it's a genuine pearl. Shop expertly-vetted Basra pearl jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
