Cultivation of blister pearls on Pinctada maxima shells started several years ago near the coast of Lombok island, in particular Lombok Golden Pearls, around the very small island (isle) Gili Air. Three shells from this area with a total of nine mabe 'pearls' were examined and found to have hemispherical bead nuclei composed of artificial resin instead of mother-of-pearl or soapstone. These cultured blister pearls are sold on Lombok and Bali islands as natural pearls.

Color does not affect the quality of a pearl, but does affect the perceived beauty of the pearl according to the individual taste of the "eye of the beholder". Some colors have become more popular than others in particular markets. For example, white pearls are the most popular in America , while silver are more sought after in Asia.
