| Grade |
Gem Grade is our top grade: exceptional luster, a clean surface and a round shape, in fewer than 1 in 1,000 harvested pearls. |

| Size | 7.5-8mm Pearl sizes vary slightly within a strand. |
| Color | Gold Natural color, never dyed, so the shade varies from champagne to warm gold. |
| Type | Cultured freshwater Edison Our gold pearls are Edison pearls: freshwater pearls grown one to a mussel around a small bead, under a coat of nacre 2 mm or more thick, several times an akoya's. That slow grow-out is what lets them grow a natural gold, never dyed. Freshwater nacre is the thickest of all pearls, so they are the longest-lasting and the best for wearing every day. |
| Origin | Grown on family-run freshwater farms in Zhuji, China, the center of the world's freshwater pearl industry. |
Other materials
| Sterling Silver | Solid sterling silver (92.5% silver). It tarnishes slowly; a silver cloth, held away from the pearls, brings the shine back. |
|---|---|
| 14k Solid Gold | Solid 14k gold all the way through. It never tarnishes or wears through. |
| PE Fiber | The thread, knotted between every pearl. It looks identical to silk but is far stronger: silk stretches and needs restringing every few years, while PE Fiber can last for decades. |
Length guide
16" Choker Length
A choker sits right at the base of the neck. One of the most classic lengths, it suits almost any neckline and works for both everyday and formal wear.
18" Princess Length
The princess length rests at the collarbone. It is the most popular choice, flattering on most necklines and easy to dress up or down.
20" Matinee Length
The matinee length sits just below the neckline. Prized for its versatility, it works equally well with business attire and evening wear.
24" Opera Length
The opera length drapes onto the chest. Wear it long on its own, or layer it over a choker or princess strand.

Our pearls are grown over years in freshwater farms we work with directly, then sorted strand by strand for luster, surface quality, and roundness. Fewer than 1 in 100 harvested pearls are what we consider to be "high grade" and fewer than 1 in 1,000 make our gem grade.
