Why is a natural pearl more valuable than a cultured pearl?
The natural pearl is a rare thing to find. Thousands of mollusks were fished out and pried open before a single natural pearl was found. This rarity makes the natural pearl more valuable. You can avail a cultured pearl with ease from any pearl dealer. However, it is a rare occasion when one finds a natural pearl. This is the reason behind the difference in value between the two.
