Tahitian grading

What AAA means on this ring

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.

11.6 x 11.5 mm Tahitian pearl and mint green garnet ring
Single round Tahitian pearl · two cushion cut grossular garnets from Tanzania (2.76 ctw) · 18K yellow gold · ring size 6.5

A round natural color Tahitian cultured pearl of 11.6 x 11.5 mm, dark bodied with a strong green and peacock overtone running across the surface.

It is flanked by two cushion cut grossular garnets from Tanzania totaling 2.76 carats, in a mint green so pale it reads almost as light itself. The garnets pick up the green already present in the nacre rather than contrasting with it, which is the point of the pairing. Set high on an 18K yellow gold band with open galleries beneath each stone. Ring size 6.5.

Part of the Assael Collection, held in our Los Angeles vault.

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.

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

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.
