How to Select the Perfect Pearl Type
Pearls are a diverse group, and vendors have had a difficult time agreeing on a scale that can be used universally. However, vendors have adopted a grading system that grades surface quality, luster and shape.
1. A/A+: "A" quality is the lowest quality that is commercially available. They will be off-shape and only moderately matched. The surface will have wrinkles, small cracks, white or brownish spots, dimples and other nasty blemishes that can affect the long-term quality of the Pearl.
2. AA: This quality has less than 15% surface inclusions, and will have fair to good luster. You should see a hazy reflection of yourself when looking at the surface. The shape will be round or with freshwater Pearls, near-round and the matching job should be well done.
3. AA+: The luster will be slightly sharper than the AA Pearl. You should be able to see your reflection in the Pearl and some background detail. Surface inclusions will be down to 10%. These Pearls will be perfectly round in shape and well-matched.
4. AAA: The ‘gem-quality’ Pearl has less than 5% inclusions over its surface, and can be completely free of inclusions. Luster can vary slightly from Pearl to Pearl, but it will be sharper than AA+ quality. The nacre will be at its’ thickest, and should present a glowing surface that is slightly translucent. The shapes and matching of a strand of rounds should be excellent with little to no variation.
5. Handmade Pearl jewelry: These Pearls radiate light with a strong silvery-rose overtone, and display Orient rainbow iridescences that shimmer on the Pearl’s surface are the absolute best Akoya Pearls that you can buy.
