Golden South Sea grading

What AA+ 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+This piece. 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.
  • AAAVery 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 striking strand showcases Golden South Sea pearls measuring 12.0–14.4 mm, selected for their bold size and natural baroque shapes. Each pearl displays a radiant golden hue with rich overtones, a hallmark of the finest pearls cultivated in the Philippines. Their organic silhouettes give the necklace a distinctive character, balancing elegance with individuality.

Each pearl is individually double-knotted on color-coordinated silk for durability and security. The 18-inch strand will be finished with your choice of a solid 14 karat or 18 karat gold clasp.

Cultivated in the Pinctada maxima oyster in the Philippines, Golden South Sea pearls are among the largest and most valuable pearls in the world. With their warm golden tones, organic shapes, and glowing presence, this strand embodies the bold yet refined beauty of South Sea pearls.

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.

I was somewhat hesitant to make this type of purchase, sight unseen, online and for something of which my knowledge is limited to put it mildly. Good communication, quick processing and delivery, from observation they seem to me to have the quality vs. investment I expected. And my wife was delighted. So, which box wasn't checked? Thanks

The pearl necklace I ordered is absolutely beautiful. And the service provided by PearlParadise is absolutely first class. The first package was lost by FedEx, then PearlParadise sent me a replacement immediately and helped track and guarantee the delivery of second package! PearlParadise is trustworthy and pearls are of great quality!

Hong L. · Verified buyer

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
