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.

You will love the easy elegance a 26-inch pearl necklace will give you. The length is perfect to slip over your head, taking any look from casual or professional to elegant in a flash.

This opera-length pearl necklace is composed of round freshwater pearls that were hand-selected for their shape, brilliant shine and smooth surfaces. The pearls are perfectly matched for shape and quality - a true feat considering the number of pearls needed to create such a long necklace.

You will never lose your pearls even if the strand breaks, because we've hand-knotted it with twin silk - a double knot between each pearl. The strand is an infinity style, so no clasp is needed.

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 and film the exact strand we would use for your necklace and send you the photos and video.

We knot to order, so you may see the pearls before they have been strung and clasped.

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

Nice quality, just a little lack luster

"Even though my order was ( IMHO ) a little close to Christmas, Pearl Paradise did not disappoint by getting my order out quickly and arriving far earlier than I expected. My wife was very happy and I am also happy. However, in the past I ordered the Freshadama type and they were always perfect ( IMHO ). This time I went with the Freshwater and I have to admit for the price I paid I should have spent the few extra dollars for a higher quality set. Not being a pearl expert I guess that mistake made this purchase experience not quite as enjoyable as my previous purchases."

— Dwayne N. (4/5)

Very pleased!

"Like most men, I procrastinated (again) about ordering a set of pearls for my wife of many years for Valentine's Day, so I selected the expedited delivery option. The peace of mind was worth the small additional charge. The pearls were delivered within two days and were a big hit. I just hope this positive delivery experience will not lull me into thinking I can procrastinate even closer to a special occasion before placing an order!! I won't press my luck! :o) Thanks to all your team for the great service!"
