White South Sea and Keshi grading

What AAA means on this strand

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.

14.16–18.87 mm keshi South Sea pearl and diamond necklace
21 keshi South Sea pearls · 23.3 momme · approx. 16 inches · 18K white gold diamond ball clasp (158 diamonds, 2.02 ctw)

Twenty-one keshi South Sea pearls measuring 14.16 to 18.87 mm, totaling 23.3 momme. Keshi pearls form without a bead nucleus, giving them solid nacre and intense luster. Keshi at this size are extraordinarily rare, most are small, and finding twenty-one large enough to build a strand reaching nearly 19 mm is something almost never seen.

The pearls show luminous natural white bodycolor and the organic, sculptural forms that make keshi so distinctive. Finished at approximately 16 inches with an 18K white gold diamond ball clasp set with 158 natural diamonds totaling 2.02 carats, a brilliant contrast to the soft organic shapes.

A museum-caliber strand, matched over years and impossible to recreate. One of a kind.

Buying from us

This piece is one of a kind

It has no reviews of its own because only one exists. These are reviews of Pearl Paradise from people who bought something else.

The first pearls received I wasn't the biggest fan of their color. They sent me some pictures closer to what I was looking for and let me trade. The pearls are even better looking in person and it was a very fast delivery

Daniel G. · Verified buyer

I was nervous purchasing something so expensive but when I received them I was mesmerize by these pearls. They are stunning and I highly recommend Hanadamas.

Laraine T. · Verified buyer

The web site was full of information and well organized. My order was lost in shipping, but PearlParadise replaced the order immediately after they were notified and paid for express shipping. Great Service.
