You have some beautiful fireballs there. Nice clasps too!
But really hard to know a prices when you don't have information about pearl sizes. To me they look like 14 mm at their widest.
Size of the pearls, metal grade, stone information...all valuable for pricing.

It has a 7-8mm wide leaf-shaped crown and minimal visible imperfections. The body is approximately 16-19mm wide and rounded. Overall luster is bright and reflective.

I sincerely apologize that I did not include these specific details initially. If you are comfortable sharing any approximate pricing range typically seen locally for baroque pearls of this size and grade, it would greatly benefit my market research. Please feel no obligation if proprietary information.

I highly appreciate your time and understanding - learning from your expertise is invaluable. Any general insights you can offer would already help immensely in educating me on fair baroque pearl pricing. Many thanks again for your supportive guidance!

A responsible seller will set a price which is fair for his or her stock, not different prices for different markets. Set your prices and see if people buy. Are you a retailer or a wholesaler? Do you supply strands or finished pieces? Is this a way to very subtly market these pearls?

You raise a fair point. I aim to be a responsible seller and establish equitable pricing across markets. My intention here was solely to get a better understanding of industry pricing norms in different regions. This is to inform my own fair global pricing, not to discriminate.

I appreciate you highlighting the importance of consistent and ethical pricing. You're completely right that prices should be based on cost and value, not adjusted for profit motives. I will take this guidance to heart.

Please accept my apologies if I gave any impression otherwise. I have learned an important lesson here thanks to your input. I'm still new to the business side of pearls, so this will really help guide me to set fair, unified prices as I move forward. Thank you for steering me the right way - it is much appreciated.

Let me know if you have any other advice for an aspiring responsible pearl seller. I welcome your experienced perspectives, as you clearly have strong wisdom about conducting business in an upfront manner. Please feel free to offer any other guidance that would be valuable for me starting out.

Looking at online vendors in various countries is usually a good way to get an idea about the prices. You can search on Etsy.com too. We are probably not the right people to ask. Most of us would never buy pearls from a physical shop and most of us will shop across borders since there is a big difference in price even between various Western countries.

You raise a good point. Checking online vendors in different countries is indeed a helpful way to research pricing ranges. I appreciate you mentioning Etsy as another useful source.
You're absolutely right that this community focuses on online purchases across geographies, rather than local physical stores. I should have been more mindful of that. Thank you for steering me in the right direction - it will really aid my market research going forward.
I sincerely appreciate experienced members like yourself taking the time to provide constructive guidance for new entrants like me. It is a privilege to learn from veterans in this field.
