I would like tahitian pearl experts opinion
Question :
About the pearls that I’m posting photographs here. Photographs are made by the vender. I got those pearls today and they do look like on those photos. Four strands, two multicolor drops, two dim peacock. All strands made of pearls 8mm to 10.5 to 10.9mm in distance across.
For a long while I needed some of those exceptionally glossy, extremely smooth Tahitian pearls. Round ones that I respected on PP or TPO locales were out of my price range, so I began to look for baroques. I saw that pearls 8-10mm have a tendency to have more color, more luster than greater ones ?.
I don’t see any imprints, scratches, pits or discolorations on any of those pearls. Some have a few rings, however relatively few? I plan to make a rope out of those strands. What do you think ?? I needed AAA ( on PP scale) pearls. Did I get it ??

Hello there Ivona, You are so right! I just clicked over and investigated this scale- – sorry the graph did not duplicate entirely as appeared.
Cultured Tahitian Pearl Grading
Tahitian pearl grading gauges put forward by GIE Perles de Tahiti, and the Ministere de la Perliculture of Tahiti; the administrative associations of French Polynesia devoted to the advancement and direction of Tahitian pearls, and buyer assurance.
It would be ideal if you note, we do not subscribe to pointless grades, for example, AAA+ and AAAA. These are not industry acknowledged grades.
