Freshwater grading

What AAA means on this pair

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.
  • AAAThis piece. Bright and sharp. Round, 95% clean or better, with excellent matching.
  • FreshadamaOur 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.

Our lovely, treated-black freshwater earrings have a radiant luster. These AAA quality pearls are round with a bright, reflective luster. The earrings are mounted on solid 14 karat gold posts.

As black is not a naturally occurring color in freshwater pearls, the pearls have been treated with a permanent organic dye to achieve their dark coloration.

Before you decide

We can show you the pearls first

The pearls are here in our Los Angeles office. Before you buy anything, we will photograph the exact pair we would use for your earrings and send them to you.

What you will see

Photographs of the actual pearls we would use for your earrings.

We hold the exact pearls we photograph for you for 24 hours while you decide.

We usually reply within one business day, Monday through Friday.

The same on everything we sell

What you can count on before you look at a single pearl

We do our own buying

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.

Made in Los Angeles

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.

Beautiful pearl!

"Having never purchased online from this company before I was a little leery, but they proved me 100% wrong! Not only did the transaction go smoothly, the item shipped quickly and the pearl is absolutely beautiful! I will definitely purchase from this company again."

BEAUTIFUL EARRINGS

"These earring look gorgeous and are the perfect size. Anything larger would be too heavy for my ears. They are more of a grey than a black, but I know that is the color of black pearls since they are dyed. They seem to be of high quality and I've gotten complements on them. My one issue is that the posts are notched to keep the backing from falling off and for me, it is difficult to get the earrings off since I have to pull so hard."
