Detailed Product Description
This Freshwater Cultured Pearl Stone (Moti Ratna) weighs 3.19 carat (3.51 ratti) and measures 8.00 mm, featuring a symmetrical round shape and an authentic white colour with a warm creamish tone. It is fully authenticated and accompanied by an official gem testing report from The Standard Gem Testing Laboratory (An ISO 9001-2015 Certified Laboratory).
A freshwater cultured pearl is grown inside a freshwater mussel with human help: a small piece of mantle tissue, sometimes with a bead, is placed in the mussel, which coats it with layers of nacre that give the pearl its soft glow. Pearl is an organic gem material, mainly calcium carbonate, rather than a mineral. Round is the hardest shape to culture, so most freshwater cultured pearls grow near-round, button, oval or baroque.
Appearance
This pearl has a round outline and profile, measuring 8.00 mm. Freshwater cultured pearls can show small surface marks, tiny pits, growth lines or slight variation in shape and lustre; these are normal features of an organic gem. Check this pearl's outline, profile, colour and surface in the photos and video before choosing it.
With a 8.00 mm diameter, this medium-small pearl offers versatile mounting options for both men's and women's rings. The spherical profile sits cleanly against the skin while showcasing balanced nacre distribution.
Traditional Use
Cultured pearl, known as Moti or Moti Ratna and called Mukta in Sanskrit, is traditionally associated with the Moon (Chandra) in Vedic astrology. Customers buying it for astrological use usually follow their astrologer's guidance.
Care
Pearls are delicate compared with many mineral gemstones. Put this pearl on after perfume, cosmetics and hair spray, and take it off first. Wipe it gently with a very soft clean cloth after wearing and store it separately in a soft pouch or box. For occasional cleaning use warm soapy water gently, then dry it fully. Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaning, and keep it away from acids, harsh chemicals, heat, long periods of strong light and rough wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Moti perfectly round?
A cultured pearl is an organic gem created by a living mollusc and is seldom a mathematically perfect sphere. Its printed measurements show its natural symmetry; inspect the 360-degree video and profile photos to examine its exact curvature.
Is this a Basra Moti?
No. Basra Moti is the trade name for natural pearls from the Persian Gulf, which formed without human help and are now seldom sold. This Moti is a freshwater cultured pearl and is sold as one.
Which planet is Moti associated with?
In Vedic astrology Moti is traditionally associated with the Moon (Chandra). This is a traditional belief, not a promise of any result; customers usually follow their astrologer's guidance.
What should I check before buying a Moti online?
Check the lab report card shown in the photos, the exact carat weight and ratti, the dimensions in millimetres, and inspect the pearl's natural surface and glow across all photos and the 360-degree video.
