Tahitian grading

What AAA 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+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.

Tahitian pearl cufflinks with peacock pearls
Approx. 9.0 mm and 11.3 mm pearls · sculptural design · 18K gold

These cufflinks feature striking Tahitian pearls measuring approximately 9.0 mm and 11.3 mm, selected for their deep peacock bodycolor and strong, reflective luster. The pearls display layered green and aubergine overtones with smooth surfaces, while the contrast in size introduces visual rhythm and depth to the design.

Crafted in 18K gold, each pearl is set in a textured, organic-style mounting that gives the cufflinks a bold, sculptural presence. The goldwork adds character and dimension while maintaining balance and wearability.

These cufflinks reflect a more expressive side of Assael’s men’s jewelry, combining exceptional Tahitian pearls with distinctive goldwork. The result is a refined yet unconventional pair suited for those who appreciate quiet luxury with personality.

This pair is part of a special Assael collection now held in our Los Angeles vault and offered through a limited, inquiry-only presentation. This opportunity reflects a level of access and value that has not previously been available within Assael’s 80-year history.

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.
