Pearl Guide

Pearl Quality

Pearls are commonly evaluated based on their luster, surface, and shape.

AAA pearls typically show good luster with some natural surface blemishes.

AAAA pearls represent a higher standard, with strong luster, a cleaner surface, and a well-balanced round to near-round shape.

At Ora Jewelry, we focus on AAAA quality freshwater pearls, carefully selected for their luster, surface quality, and overall shape — with a preference for round pearls, while allowing for a small proportion of high-quality near-round pearls to ensure a refined and consistent finish.

As all pearls are naturally formed, subtle variations may occur.
