As there is not a recognised universal pearl grading system, this means that different countries and different pearl types have different grading systems, for example........ Amerca widely uses the A - AAA, system, AAA being the highest or gem quality grade, but sometimes you will see a "+" or even "AAAA" for an additional and subjective view point as to the quality grade, you could say it is a personal interpretation. Some Pearl dealers particularly for Freshwater Pearls use the A,B,C,D system and then adding a plus or minus sign to indicate a slightly higher or lower level within the grade, for example A+ then A, B+ then B, C+ etc., A, being the highest grade. The Tahitian and South Sea Pearl grading system, which the French Polynesian government standards are based on use A, B, C, D. Each grading system deals with the percentage of the pearls surface which is unflawed, the level of lustre, the shape, colour, overtone colours, uniformatiy and so on.....

CARING FOR YOUR PEARLS
Caring for your pearls will give you life long pleasure, here are some tips:-
Probably the most important is to protect them from perfume and sprays.
Wipe them with a dry pure silk cloth every now and again.
NEVER wash the strand, our pearls are threaded on high quality multi strands of silk, this will stretch and weaken the strand if wet.
Wrap them in silk when not wearing.
Have them regularly professionally re-strung. |
