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.

Who says all pearls are white? These dark, multi-hued freshwater pearls are called black, but as you can see, every strand is unique and every dark-colored pearl has a subtle overtone gives the strand a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

This stylish necklace is composed of fine quality 6.5-7.0 mm black freshwater pearls and is available in 16- and 18-inch lengths. At 16 inches it falls around the base of the neck, hanging loosely at the collarbone on a petite frame and wearing more like a choker on a fuller figure. At 18 inches it sits just below the collarbone.

Freshwater pearls do not naturally occur in black, so these pearls have been treated with permanent organic dye to achieve their colors. Each pearl is individually knotted on twin silk and finished with a solid 14-karat gold clasp.

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.

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.

Reviews

This is the second necklace

"This is the second necklace and bracelet I purchased from PP. The luster and color of the pearls are perfect. My only suggestion would be to use a larger clasp. The fish hook is very small and difficult to grasp."

Pamela M. (5/5)

Another wonderful purchase

"A birthday present for my daughter who loves them! They are colorful and informal and elegant at the same time. Very pleased with the product and service, as always with these folks."
