Tahitian grading

What AAA means on this pendant

Our grades consider luster, shape, surface and matching together, and luster is what they turn on. For surface we describe what the piece actually looks like rather than quoting a clean percentage. At these sizes a piece will almost always carry some marking, and a number cannot tell you whether that marking matters.

  • ALow to medium luster, noticeable variation from the stated shape, and marking readily visible across the piece.
  • AA+Medium to high luster with some variation in shape. More marking, sometimes accepted for the beauty of the piece as a whole.
  • AA+/AAAVery high luster, closely conforming to its stated shape. Most pearls very clean, with a few carrying more. The combined grade describes variation in surface, not mixed luster or an inconsistently matched strand.
  • AAAThis piece. Very high luster, closely conforming to its stated shape, clean overall with any marking minor enough not to draw the eye.

Select Gem A selection that sits outside this scale rather than above it. Not a tier we sort into, but a collection built over time: exceptional natural color, shape and surface at once, with any marking slight or sitting where a setting will cover it. Collected one pearl at a time, then assembled pearl by pearl.

Read the full grading standards

This lovely pendant combines the beauty of a single, perfect Tahitian pearl with a single diamond of fine, VS1-G quality. The diamond accent adds just the right amount sparkle, creating a truly gorgeous pendant.

We hand-make this pendant in-house to our own exacting specifications, choosing a gem-quality 9.0-10.0 mm Tahitian pearl to complement the setting.

For decades our buying team has been making regular trips to French Polynesia to source these fine, exotic pearls. Because we personally import every Tahitian pearl we offer, we are able to guarantee your pearl is 100% natural color and has never been treated in any way.

Before you decide

We can show you the pearl first

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

What you will see

Photographs of the actual pearl we would use for your pendant.

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"

— Kaite B. (5/5)

amazing pearl, nice pendant, useless chain

"lovely pearl, beautiful color and th shape was perfect! the pendant was lovely though a little small for the pearl size, it still looked marvelous. The chain was so thin and easily kinked, we needed to order a separate chain. That said, we bought it for the pearl and the chain was usable for the first evening."
