How We Do It
The Prettiest Pearl eliminates the middle man and sources our pearls directly from Tokyo, Tahiti, Shanghai, and Beijing.

Our customers are consistently amazed by both the quality of our pearls and our prices.

The Prettiest Pearl is proud to provide an exciting selection of A, AA, and AAA jewelry created with pearls, precious, and semi-precious stones. Please browse our gallery of jewels right now to find a piece that speaks to you, and add a bit of glamour to your jewelry box!

Pearls are an organic gem created by living creatures. A pearl begins when a foreign particle enters the shell of a mollusk (an oyster or a clam). The mollusk secretes layers of a protective substance, coating the particle with nacre to create a pearl.

The AAA-A Pearl Grading System
Pearls are often graded on scale from AAA to A, with AAA the highest grade. This grading scale is common to freshwater and saltwater pearls.

  • AAA: Highest-quality, virtually flawless pearl. The surface has the highest luster, and 95% or more of the surface is free from defect.
  • AA: The surface has the highest luster, and 75% or more of the surface is free from defect.
  • A:  A lower luster pearl that has surface defects covering more than 25% of the pearl.
Grade Luster Blemishes Shape Matching Nacre
A to A+ Quality Low to Medium Medium Round Medium Thin
AA to AA+ Quality Medium to High Light Round Very Good Medium to Thick
AAA Quality Very High Very Clean Round Excellent Very Thick


Ultimately, the beauty of a pearl is a matter of personal taste. Many of the most brilliant and desirable pearls don’t fit into the standardized grading system.
