Should I get a certificate of authenticity for pearls?

Yes, especially when purchasing real pearl jewelry such as a real pearl necklace, real pearl ring, or cultured pearls set in fine gold. A certificate of authenticity provides assurance by verifying the origin, type, and quality of the pearls you’re investing in.

Trusted sellers like Kellymars.com provide a unique, individual certificate for every single piece, detailing:

• Pearl type (e.g., freshwater, Akoya, South Sea)

• Origin (natural or cultured)

• Quality grades (luster, surface, shape, nacre thickness)

• Treatment disclosures (such as dyeing or bleaching)

This means each product comes with its own professional certification, ensuring buyers receive genuine and traceable pearls. This is especially important for high-value items like a genuine pearl necklace for wedding gift, a pearl bridal jewelry set, or an 18K gold pearl necklace.

If you're unsure how to tell if pearls are real, this personalized certification from Kellymars helps you avoid imitation pearls or low-quality substitutes.

While certificates might be optional for simpler dainty pearl jewelry, having a unique certificate for each piece guarantees authenticity and quality for premium collections—protecting your investment for years to come.
