Giga Pearl Returns to Toronto

The Giga Pearl is the world's largest natural pearl, as certified by the Gemological Institute of America, and worth more than $140 million.

Abraham Reyes, who lives in Toronto, owns the pearl, which was passed to him in 2019 as a family heirloom from his great aunt, who was gifted the giant clam containing the pearl by Reyes's grandfather, who in turn bought it from a fisherman in the Philippines.

At 27.65 kilograms and 138,254 carats, the Giga Pearl holds the Guinness World Record as the largest natural pearl composed of calcite.

The private showing of the Giga Pearl also serves as the launch of an exhibit created by Reyes, titled Beneath the Surface.

The artworks showcased in the exhibit were created by Reyes, who crafted them from natural gems and pearls that he inherited from family or has collected himself.
