Tahitian Pearl Grading
| Grade | Luster | Shape | Surface | Color / Overtone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAAA | Exceptional metallic luster with sharp mirror reflections | Near-perfect round or symmetrical drop, 95%+ symmetry | Clean, virtually blemish-free (95%+) | Deep, saturated body color with intense peacock/rose/aqua overtone |
| AAA | Very high metallic luster, bright reflections | Round or symmetrical, 85%+ symmetry | Very slightly blemished (90%+ clean) | Rich body color with strong overtone |
| AA+ | High luster with good metallic quality | Near-round or good drop/circle shape | Slightly blemished (80%+ clean) | Good color saturation with visible overtone |
| AA | Good luster, softer metallic sheen | Semi-round to near-round or baroque | Minor surface markings (70%+ clean) | Pleasant color, softer overtone |
Understanding Tahitian Pearl Grades
- AAAA (Gem Collection): Top 1-2% of Tahitian harvest. Exceptional metallic luster with deep, saturated black/gray body color and intense peacock, rosé, or aquamarine overtones. Near-perfect symmetry.
- AAA (Superior): Top 5-10% of harvest. Very high metallic luster with rich, even body color and strong overtones. Round or well-symmetrical shapes with minimal surface markings.
- AA+ (Fine Quality): Top 15% of harvest. High luster with good color depth. Near-round or attractive drop/bar shapes with only slight surface characteristics.
- AA (Classic): Good luster with softer metallic sheen. Semi-round to baroque shapes with minor surface markings. The beauty of Tahitian color at an accessible price.
Note on Tahitian Color: Tahitian pearls are graded on both body color (black, gray, brown) and overtone (peacock [green-purple], aubergine [deep purple], rosé, pistachio [greenish], and silver). The most valuable combination is dark body color with strong peacock or aubergine overtone.
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
Shannon O. 5/5 Verified
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.
