Whether its romantic aura, its subtle beauty and simplistic style that has decided it's time to add a beautiful piece of pearl jewelry to your collection. Before run out to your favorite jeweler and picking the first thing you see, learn about the investment they are about to do. Like any other gemstone, there are quite things to know about pearls can help you not only get the best deal, but the pearl for you.
First, let me start by saying there is no official industry classification system for pearls. However, there are 2 different systems that are reputable pearl dealers themselves. The first system is AAA-A system that allows jewelers to grade pearls. In this system, a grade of AAA, the pearl is of the highest quality. The pearl should be nearly flawless and have a high gloss. If the pearl has a rating of AA, which still must have a high gloss, but may have a flaw here or there. The A rating is the lowest quality pearl. This type of pearl is likely to have a lot of flaws and lack of shine.
The second system widely accepted by traders in pearls is the AD system, sometimes known as the system of Tahiti. This is the system commonly used to grade Tahitian or South Sea pearls in overseas markets. In this system, a grade of A means the pearl is of high quality with high brightness and is nearly flawless. Classification set from there, with a pearl B with a high gloss medium and some shortcomings. A pearl with a grade of C is more likely to have a medium brightness, defective, possibly over 50% of the area. Any pearl given a grade below D is not considered useful for jewelry.
Because these two classification systems are not the entire industry, it is important that you feel like you can trust your jeweler. Ask them for grading pearls in writing, any reputable dealer should provide this. Thus, you have the quality of the pearls in words rather than just the level they considered appropriate. The other thing to look for when grading a pearl is the pearl, or the thickness of the surface. The thicker the nacre, the more durable the pearl will be over time. A good thick nacre begins at about 0.5 mm so keep this in mind and use it as a guide in choosing pearls.
When buying pearls, it is important to examine the surface carefully. A high quality pearl should look bright and shiny. You should be able to see their reflection in a pearl of great quality. Lower quality pearls have greater galaxy or the appearance of chalk. Also, check the surface of the bead to make sure it is smooth and free of discoloration or other defects. The perfect pearl should be round, smooth and shiny.
The next thing to look for in a pearl is the color. This is an area where personal taste can and must overcome what is valuable. There colors of the pearls are rarer in nature than others, but this should not be the determining factor. When buying pearls, the color should be based on personal taste and what you see best in your skin tone. With that being said, pearls range in color from white to black with all colors in between. Therefore, it should be easy to find a pearl of great quality just the right color to your liking.
Another thing to consider when shopping for pearls is size and how it affects costs. Naturally, the larger is the pearl, the more expensive, depending of course on the other factors. Pearls are measured in millimeters and depends on the type of pearl. Akoya pearls are often the smaller and can range from 6 mm to 8 mm. Tahiti, South Sea and Freshwater pearls tend to be slightly larger than the Akoya pearls. The medium-sized pearl sold today is about 7 mm. Pearls are also called "pearls" that are small, often less than 1 mm which can be found in the jewelry stores worldwide.
So, before going to stores to do some research and be informed about the type of pearl you want to take home with you. As an informed consumer, you may get more for your money. In the end, you will feel better about your purchase, you will most likely have made a better investment and will choose a piece of jewelry that falls over the coming years.
