When you see a site to specify a string of pearls Score AAAA ++++, they should immediately click on another site, either because these dealers do not know what he says, or is obviously trying to denaturation products.
Why, you ask? Well, first of all, you know, there should be a standard classification system for the pearl of pearls. One person may grade AAA pearl necklace, and others may be assigned to the same category as a strand, and another, more stringent rules, we can say the same category B. Another component that can best shape and labels, AAA, when in fact it is much lower class. Therefore, it is obvious that the classification is very subjective beads.
There are some freshwater systems in use classification pearls, and most reputable dealers, that is acceptable to remain classified in the industry.
You are using a classification method, the notes from A ball to AAA. Class AAA high quality jewelry, and if someone goes further and says, AAAA + + + + There is no use except to cause confusion. Needless to say, no classification standard is not good for consumers.
GIA Pearl Description System
Fortunately, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) said the standard jewel "Description" as pearls someone speak the same language developed. This is good news for consumers, because instead of reading a subjective note, when viewing photos, you can describe the balls so that the actual condition of the ball can be determined. PearlsAndJade.com has its own rating system developed showed the description of the GIA and the system of "rating, and uses.

Round pearls are generally the most valuable, and partly because of its rarity. A well-formed symmetrical pearl is more valuable than the unbalanced. But six other cost factors also need for beauty and total cost of the pearl are considered.
COLOR
There are three main features of the color of pearls:
* Body color - common color pearls
* Overtone - translucent colors appear to pearl body color.

* Poor - reflections are weak and diffuse.
Akoya pearls are usually a bright mirror finish, while others are more soft, shiny and smooth, the function has its own charm.
Tahitian pearls have almost metallic sheen, and Southsea pearls more silky shine.
The remaining six factors to be included with the whole class pearl shine, but shine the most important factor.

Pearls are organic, they are naturally grown in the shell, so that for them, surface finish, show depends on the distribution of nacre is allocated in a natural way. All pearls have some of these features, patches, and some patches to add beauty pearls.
Proper decoration is absolutely flawless are very rare and very expensive.
Some types of stains:

* Moderately stained - have the characteristics of the sensitive surface.
* Stained Stark - Pearls obvious violations.
Clean pearls are rare and very clean cord can cost a fortune because of lack of funds. Some of the other 6 factors can reduce the cost of surface properties. So do not forget to use all seven factors.
Nacre Quality
Relationship with her mother pearl makes a brilliant instrumental value. Most of the time pearls with thick shine brighter.
Nacre quality is divided into three types:
* Affordable - nuclear is not visible through the cord. No chalky appearance.
* Core look - signs of Pearl bead with mother of pearl. As freshwater pearls and Tahitian pearls are pearls and South Sea pearl column, this refers mainly to the pearl Akoya.
* The appearance of chalk - the pearl has a matte white.
Thin nacre has a negative effect on the value of pearls. Chalk bored or lack of luster of pearls that are hallmarks of this treasure is stored. But for the first set of balls for a 16-year-old man, or someone on a tight budget should be a necklace with some limestones are considered safe.
CORRESPONDENCE
Match the way a pearl necklace in value and other factors are consistent. In the absence of two balls in exactly the way it's a very difficult task that requires considerable skill. There are some that are usually a little more, round a little less or a few spots. The size of the balls in the chain shall be reimbursed to the rules of less than 0,5. The size of the thread, usually traders from 6,0 to 6,5 mm or 7,5 to 8,0 mm.
And finding the perfect gem for the small loop near the find, and if there are some who still have some shortcomings, but where they do not have any impact on the overall beauty of the pearl strands.
