Although there is no institution or authority or organization who have laid any set standard of pearl grading but on the whole pearl jewelry industry over many years have been using pearl grading from A to AAA. Many jewelers or online stores claim to offer AAAA quality pearls, which are simply false. It is an advertisement trick to woo customers in making them believe that they are buying highest quality pearls, whereas in fact they may be getting lower quality pearls and paying higher price.
The most commonly used and internationally recognized grading system by the pearl jewelry industry in general is A to AAA to determine the true pearl value. In the early 20th Century, Kokichi Mikimoto of Japan had more or less led these grading standards. Strict adherence is often difficult when matching in a pearl strand. But this alphanumeric ranking alone does not have much of significance to a customer and often puzzling, as most importantly, one should look for clean surface, good lustrous quality and color. Identify the type of pearls you are interested in, such as Freshwater pearls, Akoya pearls, Tahitian pearls or South Sea pearls as each of these types come from different type of oysters family and are grown under varying climatic conditions and command different prices.
Pearls have been in existence for millions of years, long before the dinosaurs were walking the planet. About 6000 years ago the Egyptians were using mother of pearl in their jewelry, however it wasn’t until 500 B.C. that they discovered the beauty of the pearl. China on the other hand, recorded the use of pearls as far back as 2300 B.C. where it was exclusively used by royalty.
Wholesale jewelry store can provide the perfect choice for wedding jewelry. China is now the top producers of these gems. There are some samples, for example pearl necklace, cultured pearl necklace, multi-strand necklace, wholesale pearl beads, cheap pearl bracelet, wholesale pearl earings, wholesale pearl pendant and single pearl necklace, opera or rope necklace though, that you need to look into when getting quality pearl jewelry, in any way you can look for some informations on the internet, in there you will find what you want, very interesting.

Akoya pearls are found in saltwaters and is the most popular pearl for jewelry. Japaneses pearl farms specialize in Akoya pearls and in the 1920’s they began farming them because the light colored pearls complimented their completion. Generally these pearls are combined with 18K gold fitting because of the high quality and price attached to akoya pearls. The Japanese now face serious competition from the Chinese who started production in the 1990s.
To cultivate a saltwater pearl, a mother of pearl nucleus is implanted into the mussel along with an irritant. With akoya pearls, a maximum of 4 nucleuses can be placed at one time. When the akoya pearl in untreated it is cream or yellow coloured. Different shapes can occur including, drop, oval and round.
When you purchase an item of pearl jewelry you need to be aware that unlike other gemstones, these will not last forever. A saltwater pearl will last for 150 years and then go dull. Luckily it shouldn’t die within your lifetime, just as long as you look after it. When you put perfume on make sure you do this before wearing your pearls. Also, every now and again, wash them with warm soapy water and dry with a soft tissue. When storing you pearl jewelry, use a soft tissue to wrap it, or even better put it in it’s own box.

Matinee pearl, with its length of 20-25inches, enhances the elegance of high neckline gowns. Due to its excess length, it can be wrapped around and worn as a choker.
Just like its name, the rope necklaces are around 40-72 inches long. Its stunning look is further magnified by its length. It can be worn in form of two to three strands around the neck or can be wrapped around the wrist for casual wear. Amazingly, it can also be worn over a backless gown, with its larger length falling on the back. Most of the times, necklaces made of black pearls add a sensual touch to the beauty of the bride.
Opera pearl, no doubt, the most elegant and the striking ones adds a significant impression to the bride’s presence. These give a versatile and confident look.
Thus, it’s very important to purchase the right necklace for the wedding ceremony.

It is only a discount if the product is what it says it is, and it is sold for less than an exact equal. Department stores sell discount pearls but the pearl value factors are not equal. The retail pearl business in the US has not changed much, and jewelry and department stores are not the place to get discount pearls. Department stores sell pearls at discount prices; but, with lower grades than the online pearl jewelry store. Jewelry stores cannot sell a specialty item like pearls and be competitive.
The US based and owned online pearl jewelry store is the best place to buy pearls.
Why the US?
Because of trust, and service; if you need to return something, you can feel confident that the jewelry will arrive back in one piece. We place our address for all to see. Some online jewelry stores only carry the better pearl grades and sell at around 75 to 85 percent less than a jewelry store or department store for equal value. The prominent stores buy directly from the pearl farm. We sell pearls below the cost of jewelry stores.
It is best buy practice to go with a return policy which is hassle free. Choose a company and buy what you want, then choose another company and check the price/quality of each. As long as they are a good company they will accept the return. The best buy in my opinion is the Freshwater Pearl, our quality is superb in these. We string the same as our akoya pearls and use the same solid gold clasps and the same guarantee.
Best bet, choose the higher grades Freshwater Pearls. See our article on Coco Chanel. For fun and guilt free buying experience, choose the lower grades of Freshwater Pearl Jewelry. My advice, don’t allow price be your sole determining factor, UNTIL you know pearl quality and pearl grades.
Though this interesting website about pearl jewelry, you can find the highest quality custom freshwater pearl beads, freshwater pearl strands, freshwater pearl neckalce, freshwater pearl bracelet, freshwater pearl ring, freshwater pearl earrings, freshwater pearl pendant, sterling silver jewelry, single strand necklaces… online. Their designers and creators have been in the jewelry business are very special, and they always stayed in touch with the latest jewelry fashion trends the entire time
