Golden South Sea Pearl Grading
| Grade | Luster | Shape | Surface | Golden Color Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAAA | Exceptional satiny luster with brilliant inner glow | Near-perfect round, 95%+ symmetry | Clean, virtually blemish-free (95%+) | Deep, rich golden — the most saturated and valuable tone |
| AAA | Very high satiny luster, strong inner glow | Round, 85%+ symmetry | Very slightly blemished (90%+ clean) | Rich, warm medium-to-deep golden tone |
| AA+ | High luster with good inner glow | Near-round to round, 80%+ symmetry | Slightly blemished (80%+ clean) | Warm medium golden tone |

Understanding Golden South Sea Pearl Grades
- AAAA (Gem Collection): Top 1% of harvest. Exceptional satiny luster that Golden South Seas are famous for, combined with the deepest, richest golden color. Near-perfect round shape and virtually clean surface. Extremely rare and valuable.
- AAA (Superior): Top 5-10% of harvest. Very high satiny luster with strong inner glow. Rich medium-to-deep golden tone. Round with minimal surface characteristics. Represents the classic luxury Golden South Sea look.
- AA+ (Fine Quality): Top 15% of harvest. High luster with good warmth in color. Near-round with slight surface markings. Excellent value for the size and golden color.
- AA (Classic): Good luster with lighter golden tone. Semi-round to near-round with minor surface markings. The most accessible entry into Golden South Sea pearls.
Note on Golden Color: The depth of golden color significantly affects value. Deep, rich "24K" gold is the most prized, followed by champagne gold, and light cream gold. All are natural — Golden South Sea pearls receive no color treatment.
How We Grade Our Pearls
Every pearl at House of Pearls is evaluated using a four-dimensional grading system:
| Factor | Weight | What We Look For |
|---|---|---|
| Luster | 40% | The intensity and sharpness of light reflected from the pearl's surface. Higher grades show mirror-like reflections with crisp clarity. This is the single most important factor in pearl beauty and value. |
| Shape | 25% | Roundness and symmetry. While perfectly round pearls are rarest and most valuable, symmetrical drop, oval, and button shapes are also highly prized. Baroque (free-form) shapes offer unique character at accessible prices. |
| Surface | 20% | The cleanliness of the pearl's surface. Higher grades have fewer and smaller blemishes, spots, or irregularities. Minor surface characteristics are natural and proof of authenticity — they do not diminish durability. |
| Color | 15% | Body color and overtone (the secondary color visible when light hits the pearl). We evaluate color depth, evenness, and the attractiveness of the overtone. Rarer overtones (peacock on Tahitian, deep gold on Golden South Sea, rosé on Akoya) command premium prices. |
Important Notes
- Natural Characteristics: All pearls have natural surface characteristics (bumps, spots, or slight irregularities). These are not flaws — they prove your pearl is genuine and untreated. Only synthetic pearls have "perfect" surfaces.
- Nacre Thickness: Thicker nacre produces better luster and durability. South Sea and Tahitian pearls naturally have the thickest nacre. Akoya Hanadama pearls are certified to have minimum 0.4mm nacre thickness.
- Shape Variety: While round pearls are the classic standard, baroque and circled pearls are increasingly popular for their unique, organic beauty. Our grading system applies the same luster, surface, and color criteria to all shapes.
- Origin Matters: Pearl type (Freshwater, Akoya, Tahitian, South Sea) determines the natural characteristics available. We grade each type against its own potential — a AAA Tahitian and a AAA Akoya both represent the top tier of their respective categories.

Amazing colour and quality. Love it

One earring was a tiny off centre but an easy peasy fix. Love, love love! Seriously considering wearing them on my wedding day when I get married and will most probably add a photo to the review when that happens. Sorry, won't be putting a photo at the moment cause my face is a bit fat. I know what CZs look like and I could swear the diamonds are real. A lot of the pearl jewellery I buy from HOP I feel are priceless so it is understandable why they are expensive.

These beautiful earrings will be worn to my son's wedding in a few weeks. The pearls are a beautiful pale purple and the gold and diamond flowers are stunning; not overwhelming, but just enough to catch the light. The quality and craftsmanship is also amazing, especially for the price. It was sent in a timely manner and packaged exceptionally well. Order some beautiful pearl jewelry from this company and you will not be disappointed!

Hello, I want to order this Akoya pearl necklace and ship it to Turkey. Could you please confirm: If DHL or Turkish customs asks me to pay customs duties, VAT, or any import fees upon delivery, will House of Pearls refund these charges after I send you the payment receipt? Also, are customs duties and taxes included in the checkout price, or should I expect to pay them first and then request a refund? Thank you.

This worry free warranty made me less anxious until the day of delivery because even though I didn't know the exact date of the arrival, I didn't have to worry too much of it being missed on the way. Having insurance is good and helpful to have less concerns regarding in case of missing/losing it on the way while you are waiting for the product to be delivered.
