 Lombok is a pearl in the sparkling blue ocean and a haven for those seeking the unspoiled beauty of the Bali of old. Indeed many people refer to Lombok as Bali 20 years ago, how ever this is incorrect when you consider the landscapes and cultures which are uniquely Lombok. As the old saying goes, "You can see Bali in Lombok, but you can't see Lombok in Bali".

Lombok is renowned for its pearls. There are about 15 pearl companies here. Most of them are internationally-owned as it requires a lot of capital to build a pearl farm.

Inilah Lombok, a magazine published by the Lombok promotion body, says that there are two kinds of pearls sold on the island: salt-water pearls and fresh-water ones.
"Salt-water pearls are generally more expensive and of higher quality than freshwater pearls. They have a good luster and the shape is more round. The more perfectly round the pearl, the more expensive it is. Meanwhile, the fresh-water pearls are characterised by their ‘imperfect’ appearance, having a striated surface and asymmetrical natural shapes," according to the magazine.
I never knew about this beforehand. So it was quite a coincidence that some beach-hawkers offered me these pearls the same day I noticed the existence of those pearl farms. The hawkers were selling both the fresh-water and salt-water pearls for quite a fair price. However, since I do not understand much about pearls, I was not sure whether they were real or fake. Later, I learned that there are some pearl shops along the way to the airport. It is indeed a hidden treasure unknown to many people, even to Indonesians.

Determining Pearl Quality
We determine the pearl quality in to 5 Factor, Luster, Surface, Shape, Color and Size Lombok Indonesia.
Luster:
This is the intense glow that comes from within the pearl; this is produced by light entering the pearl and reflecting back through the layers of nacre. The quality of the luster is directly related to how even and smooth the layers of nacre are. You should be able to see your reflection on the surface of a pearl with good luster. A pearl with no reflection or a dull color is of poor quality.
Surface:
With pearls the cleaner the surface the more valuable it will be. A good quality pearl will have few blemishes or marks - of course a pearl is from Mother Nature and few minor blemishes should be expected on all but the finest strands.
Color:
Color does not greatly affect the price of pearls as it is mostly a matter of taste - When choosing a color a general guideline is skin tone. Many women with fair or light colored skin feel rose (pink) overtones look best. While women with dark skin, olive skin or that tan easily find black or cream overtones look best.
Shape:
A perfectly round pearl is the most sought after and the rarest of cultured pearls. So rare are round pearls that only 5-10% of a pearl farm's harvest will be even and round. The rest of the harvest will vary from semi-round pearls to asymmetrical baroque pearls. Round drop circle.
Size:
Pearls can range in size from 1mm seed pearls to huge 20mm South Sea pearls. Cultured pearls of 5-17 mm are the most common, above this size the price jumps upward rapidly with each half-millimeter from 7.5mm up. To date the largest pearl recorded is a 26.95mm baroque south sea pearl.
