Freshwater grading

What Freshadama means on this strand

Our freshwater grades consider luster, shape, surface and matching together, and luster is what they turn on. Grading varies widely between sellers, so the letters alone are not worth much. Ours is an internal standard.

  • ABright luster that goes hazy at the edges. Near round to off round, 75 to 85% clean.
  • AA+Bright, with the edge of a reflection nearly sharp. Near round to round, 85 to 95% clean.
  • AAABright and sharp. Round, 95% clean or better, with excellent matching.
  • FreshadamaThis piece. Our own top freshwater classification. Round, with mirror-like luster whose reflections hold a hard edge and a surface 98 to 100% clean. Drawn from earring-grade pearls, then checked pearl by pearl.

This stunning white freshwater pearl necklace features 7.5-8.0 mm Freshadama-grade pearls, our most popular size, offered here in the finest quality available. Representing the top 0.01% of the annual harvest, Freshadama pearls are hand-selected for their roundness, intense luster, and exceptionally clean surfaces.

Each pearl is expertly matched for tone, symmetry, and size. The strand is individually hand-knotted on twin silk in our Los Angeles studio and finished with your choice of solid 14 karat white or yellow gold clasp, each with a secure safety hook. Available in 16- and 18-inch lengths, with custom lengths available upon request.

Round shape is uncommon in freshwater pearls, and it is the first thing that sets this grade apart. In the classic 7.5-8.0 mm size, this strand offers the perfect balance of presence, elegance, and versatility, ideal for daily wear or special occasions.

An heirloom-worthy piece and a signature of understated luxury.

Matched and finished by our own team rather than pulled off a shelf, and still out the door within one business day.

Graded to our own standard

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.

Awesome product

"This necklace is truly stunning. I bought this one and 8. 5-9mm 16inch together, wishing one of them fits me better than the other one. But turns out, they both amazing products. I could not really find any flaw on these pearls. (Before buying from paradise, i have tried 2 other suppliers online, and both were very disappointed when looking at blemishes). But paradise did not disappoint me at all. Quality of pearls are just top notch. packaging is nice, delicate while is not over packaging either (i want to be environmental friendly). From now on, you are the only online pearl supplier i buy pearl from!"
