Freshwater grading

What Freshadama means on these pearls

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.
  • FreshadamaThese. 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.

Loose pearls are for people making something of their own, or replacing a pearl in a piece they already have. Choose half-drilled if it is going onto an earring post, a stud or a pendant cup, and full-drilled if it is going onto a strand or bracelet.

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

We can show you these pearls first

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.

What you will see

Photographs of the exact pearls you would receive.

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.

Included with purchase
