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.

Sixty-one round pearls measuring 10.2 to 11.2 mm run the full 27.5 inches, and no two carry the same color. White and cream sit against deep gold, soft peach and pink, and the near-black of Tahitian pearls, so the rope reads differently depending on how it falls. They grade AAA for luster, surface and matching.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece, 27.5 inches long and hand-knotted on color-matched silk, finished with a solid 18 karat white gold clasp set with 8 diamonds totaling 0.04 carats.

The white and golden pearls grow in the Pinctada maxima oyster of Australia and the Philippines and the dark pearls in the black-lipped Pinctada margaritifera of French Polynesia. The pink and peach pearls are Edison freshwater, grown in Hyriopsis mussels in China. Every color here is natural to the mollusk that produced it.

What you can count on before you look at a single pearl

Natural color, guaranteed

Nothing we sell in this category is dyed, irradiated or color enhanced. The color you see grew in the oyster.

Finished in Los Angeles

Matched, strung and finished by our own team, with a solid gold clasp and a safety catch. Length and clasp can be changed before we ship.

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.
