Once drilled, a pearl cannot be returned.
Loose pearls
Loose pearls are for people making something of their own, or replacing a pearl in a piece they already have.
Choose undrilled if your jeweler would rather drill it themselves, half-drilled for an earring post, stud or pendant cup, or full-drilled for a strand or bracelet. We drill these to order, so if you need a specific hole size, tell us before you buy. Post and cup diameters vary, and once a pearl is drilled it cannot be undone. Email us, or add the measurement to the special instructions box at checkout, and we will drill to it.
Every pearl is chosen by hand from our own inventory at the size and quality shown here. If you need a matched pair, or several that work together, tell us and we will pull them for you rather than leaving it to chance.
Your order arrives with a certificate of authenticity, a presentation box and pouch, and a pearl care kit.
Before you decide
These pearls are here in our Los Angeles office. Before you buy, we will photograph the exact ones you would receive, at the size and quality you have chosen.

The same on everything we sell
We do not outsource our buying, and we do not pick from someone else's catalog. Every pearl we sell is sourced, inspected and bought by us, from the growers, producers and dealers we have worked with for decades.
Matched and finished by our own team rather than pulled off a shelf, and still out the door within one business day.
There is no universal pearl grading standard. Ours is internal, applied the same way across everything we sell, and luster is what it turns on.
Included with purchase
Individually prepared, stating the origin, quality and characteristics of your purchase.

"Great customer support and product knowledge. The shape is exactly what I was looking for and the green cast in the sun is beautiful!"
"Shipping delay due to weather, but everything else was great."
"Once I saw the pearl in person, I knew it would look great on me, so I chose a setting that I felt suited the pearl best. Once I saw it set and put it on a chain, I loved it even more. Thanks Pearl Paradise for guiding me through the process of choosing a pearl I loved and making it wearable!"
"I purchased this to make a pendant. It is really nice, luster and skin surface quality are great. Peacock color is decently strong, and favors copper/aubergine like I asked for in purchasing notes."
"I ordered a loose drop Tahitian Pearl with green hue as a 30th wedding anniversary memento. It came in beautiful packaging which includes a clear plastic box in which the pearl appears to be floating. It's absolutely stunning! We are very happy with our choice as well as the quality of the pearl and packaging."
"Love the item. Looking forward to future purchases."
"This is a very substantial AAA Tahitian drop pearl necklace. The colors and luster are excellent. This was the second time I've requested a custom length necklace. Both times they pulled pearls from the vault to match the piece and sent photos of the strand plus the loose pearls, and both times the finished product exceeded expectations."
"Fast shipping. Item as described"
"Perfect pear shaped as I requested. McKenna provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond by providing me with photos so I could make a choice and see exactly what I was getting"
"I ordered a loose undrilled pearl which are kind of hard to find. It was nice that the pearl I ordered was actually cheaper after I selected it than the list price! Pretty sure it was free 2 day shipping as well so my order came fast as balls. Would totally shop here again."
