Is there a universal grading systems for pearls such as in
the diamond industry? |
| |
|
|
|
At this time, there is no industry-wide grading system for
pearls. PearlsOnly uses the easy to follow AAAA Pearl Quality Grading System. The
AAAA Pearl Quality Grading System offers our customers details product information
allowing for a informed buying decision. |

How do I compare PearlsOnly pearls against other pearls. |
| |
|
|
|
When comparing to other grading systems that use the
less details grading system be sure to check how the pearls rate
in these value factors:
A single value factor grading system that assign a grade like AA
to a pearl, without a detail breakdown does not provide adequate
information about the pearl. |

What are the benefits of the AAAA grade system? How does
it protect me? |
| |
|
|
|
The benefits of the AAAA Pearl Quality Grading System are:
- the grading system stipulates that
each pearl value factor must be rated
- the overall rating of
the pearl must be the least grade of all the ratings.
A detailed grading specification can be found on each
of PearlsOnly product pages showing detailed information about the item.
The AAAA grading system offers the consumer unprecedented protection
since each pearl value factor must be clearly described allowing the
consumer to make an informed buying decision about the pearls. |

Can you give me an example of the AAAA Pearl Quality Grading System? |
| |
|
|
|
Yes! Lets for example look at a AA pearl necklace.
The value factors for this necklace and ratings areas follow:
These pearls by other grading standards would be called AAA or AA, however
to use the AAAA Pearl Quality Grading System, we must use the LOWEST grade in
the value factors, hence this whole necklace is graded as AA.
