Each package usually contains 3 kilograms (kg) to 4 kg Mutiara Bima. “However, there is no guarantee that every package contains quality pearls for all. If you are lucky, everything is good. Then all the pearls I 

clean and rub. It takes 15 minutes to rub per pearl. It takes special skills when rubbing so that the pearl texture is not damaged,” said Nurdin to the 2019 KONTAN Economic Exploration Team. Nurdin priced pearls from Rp. 150,000 to Rp. 350,000 per gram. 

 

This price range depends on the quality of the pearls offered. However, Nurdin does not only offer pure pearls. There are also several processed pearl products such as bracelets, necklaces, pendants, brooches, and key chains. 

 

The price of the most expensive product reaches Rp. 38 million for a necklace made of Lombok pearls.
