Tahitian Pearl Prices

The Tahitian pearl market is finally turning up the heat on prices. We've seen prices on quality Tahitian pearls rise as much as 20% this year. You can still get great deals on fine quality Tahitian pearls at places like The Pearl Outlet, but even there prices are bound to rise some this year.

This increase in price stems from the US Dollar value on international markets as well as the fact the Tahitian Government is finally getting a grip on the supply.

The Tahitian government has ben halting shipments of inferior pearls now for nearly two years. Before that, the dumping of these inferior goods forced the entire Tahitian market down in price.

Demand also plays an important role. The demand for Tahitian pearls has steadily rose the past several years in both the US and in the far East. This high demand for quality goods has helped push up the high-end prices.
