Pearl (Moti)

What is Pearl (Moti)?

Pearl is an organic gem formed inside oysters and mussels, prized for its lustre and smooth surface. Natural, freshwater and South Sea pearls are the main types. In astrology Pearl is the stone of the Moon (Chandra).

Pearl Benefits & Who Should Wear It

In Vedic tradition Moti is linked to the Moon and is believed to bring calm, emotional balance and harmony in relationships. It is traditionally worn by those with a weak or afflicted Moon. Consult a qualified astrologer before wearing.

How to Identify an Original Pearl

A natural pearl has a deep, layered lustre and tiny surface irregularities, and feels slightly gritty when gently rubbed, unlike perfectly smooth imitation pearls. We describe the type and origin of every pearl we offer.

Pearl Price in Pakistan — What Affects It

Moti price in Pakistan depends on lustre, size, shape, surface quality and whether the pearl is natural or freshwater. Large, round, high-lustre natural pearls are the most valuable. Each pearl is priced individually.

What decides the pearl price

The price in Pakistan depends on lustre (the sharpness of reflections), surface cleanliness, shape (round is rarest), size, nacre thickness and whether it is natural, cultured or imitation. Every listing in this collection shows the exact carat weight and price, and our gemstone price guide explains typical ranges so you can compare with confidence.

Care and cleaning

Pearls are the most delicate gem: last on, first off. Wipe with a soft damp cloth after wearing, avoid perfume and chemicals, and store in a soft pouch.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.

Packaging and presentation

Loose pieces come in a sealed pouch with the carat weight on the invoice; rings and pendants arrive in a gift box. If the order is a present, tell us and we will leave the price off the packing slip. Every parcel is photographed before sealing so you can compare what left us with what arrived.

Sizes, settings and matching pieces

Most pieces are available loose or set in silver as a ring, pendant or bracelet; tell us the finger size or chain length and the setting is made to order in 3–5 working days. If you need a matched pair or a specific carat weight for an astrological prescription, send the details and we will suggest what is in stock or source it for you.
