Basra Pearl (Moti)

Basra Pearl, also called Basra Moti, is a rare and valuable natural pearl that comes from Persian Gulf region. Natural pearl production in Basra stopped in the early 19th century due to damage to the marine environment. Basra Pearls became highly popular for their natural shine, smooth texture, and beautiful color. Their rarity has made them even more special and expensive.

When it comes to rare and timeless gemstones, the Basra Pearl - or Basra Moti - holds a legendary place. Known for its natural glow, soft milky color, and deep historical roots.

At Mewar Gem Art, we’re proud to offer handpicked, certified Basra Pearls that reflect unmatched purity and grace.

Why Is Basra Moti So Special?

Basra Pearls originate from the ancient pearl fisheries of the Persian Gulf near Basra (in modern-day Iraq). These pearls are not cultured - they are 100% natural, formed organically over decades beneath the sea. Due to the complete halt in pearl diving in this region, Basra Moti is no longer actively sourced, making every piece that exists today truly irreplaceable.

Each Basra Pearl stands out for:

  • 100% natural - non heated or treated.
  • Soft ivory to milky white color with a natural glow.
  • Comes from ancient sources with rich historical value.
  • Smooth, velvety surface that feels as luxurious as it looks.
  • Carries prestige in traditional jewelry, astrology, and high-value collections.

Whether for traditional jewelry, astrology, or luxury investment, Basra Moti remains unmatched in grace and prestige.

Experience Personalized Basra Moti Selection

At Mewar Gem Art, we believe that selecting a Basra Moti should be as meaningful as the gem itself. While some pieces are featured on our website, many of our finest pearls are kept offline and are shown privately to maintain quality, exclusivity, and trust.

As per Mewar Gem Art’s experienced Vedic astrologers and palmists, every gemstone should align with the wearer’s planetary positions and energy. That’s why we offer personal consultations to help you find a Basra Pearl that suits your astrological needs, carat preference, and budget.

Simply reach out to our gem experts - we’ll guide you through the available options, arrange private viewings if needed, and ensure you make a confident, informed choice rooted in both tradition and authenticity.
