Freshwater grading

What AAA 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.
  • 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.

This impressive necklace features 9.5-10.5 mm AAA quality white freshwater pearls, offering bold presence, classic elegance, and refined detail. The pearls are round with brilliant luster and smooth, clean surfaces, creating a strand that makes a lasting impression while retaining timeless appeal.

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

AAA freshwater pearls represent the highest traditional grade, combining radiant luster, minimal blemishing, and exceptional matching. In the generous 9.5-10.5 mm size, this strand is designed for those who want standout pearls with classic polish.

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 strand we would use for your necklace and send it to you.

We knot to order, so you may see the pearls before they have been strung and clasped.

What you will see

Photographs of the exact strand we would use for your necklace.

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

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.
