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 Classic Collection pendant highlights the timeless elegance and natural beauty of a Tahitian pearl. Featuring a gem-quality 12.0–13.0 mm pearl set in a simple 14k gold cup, the design is both classic and modern, making it perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.

Tahitian pearls are celebrated for their exotic natural colors, ranging from silvery gray to deep charcoal with overtones of green, blue, or aubergine. Each pearl we choose is carefully hand-selected for its luster, surface quality, and rich color.

Our buying team has spent decades traveling to French Polynesia to source pearls directly from family-run farms. Because we personally import every Tahitian pearl, we can guarantee that your pendant features a 100% natural-color pearl with no treatments or enhancements.

Classic, versatile, and enduring—this pendant captures the exotic beauty that makes Tahitian pearls among the world’s most sought-after treasures.

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.

Nice pearl but not perfect

"There are some slight scratches on the surface of the pearl that are visible but I'm not sure if a replacement would be any different. I couldnt find another seller with this price for the size pearl my mother wanted so I guess this will do. I would recommend you look for another seller if you want a perfect pearl."

Awesome pearl, awesome services!

"I own a pair of earrings and would like to find a pendant that matches the shade. The PP did a great job finding a perfect pearl with almost exactly the same color by only looking at a few photos I sent over email. The quality of the pearl I received is absolutely great, so shiny and flawless. Very satisfied!"

— Ziyu J. (5/5)

"Pearl size, luster and surface is all good but color is not very dark. Customer service was good for an exchange."
