The magic, mystique and enduring appeal of pearl jewelry make it a natural gift for special occasions and milestones in your loved one's life. But, if you're like most guys, you probably know as much about buying pearl jewelry as you do about brain surgery or rocket science. The good news is that buying fine jewelry for your special someone does not have to become a daunting, agonizing task. When you know the basics about pearls, jewelers and their grading systems you can set your mind at ease. You can select the perfect pearls that will stun and amaze your loved one. You can become her hero for life. How to Select the Perfect Pearl Type for the Woman of Your Dreams Since pearls come in a variety of shapes, colors and overtones they are the versatile, perfect choice to support any woman's look, style and personality. Here are my top 4 pearl types: 1. Akoya Pearls - These pearls known for their brilliant luster, elegance and infinite versatility are perfect for your loved one if she has a more traditional personality and fashion style. 2. Cultured Freshwater Pearls These are the latest best-kept secret. Cultured Freshwater Pearls that look very similar to South Sea pearls in size and luster are the affordable alternativee to the Akoya. With uniformly round shapes, exceptional luster, shimmering orient, and an array of natural colors such as peach, lavender and white, these pearls are sure to charm and surprise your more modern and contemporary girlfriend or spouse.. 3. Tahitian Pearls - If you're looking for something truly one of a kind. If you're looking for a pearl that's as individual as her owner, look no further. Available in a tantalizing array of bold colors such as peacock, pistachio green and silver Tahitian Pearls are perfect for the more exotic girlfriend or spouse. 4. White or Golden South Sea Available in an array of colors from the palest moonlight to molten gold, these pearls display a satiny luster that begs to be touched. Celebrated by collectors everywhere for their amazing sizes, your loved one will feel very sophisticated when wearing these pearls. How to Carefully Select the Perfect Grade for Your Loved One's Perfect Pearl Jewelry Pearls are a diverse group, and vendors have had a difficult time agreeing on a scale that can be used universally. However, vendors have adopted a grading system that grades surface quality, luster and shape. Here are my top tips to put your mind to ease so you can choose the right grade for your girlfriend or spouse's pearl jewelry: 1. A/A+: "A" quality is the lowest quality that is commercially available. They will be off-shape and only moderately matched. The surface will have wrinkles, small cracks, white or brownish spots, dimples and other nasty blemishes that can affect the long-term quality of the pearl. 2. AA: This quality has less than 15% surface inclusions, and will have fair to good luster. You should see a hazy reflection of yourself when looking at the surface. The shape will be round or with freshwater pearls, near-round and the matching job should be well done. 3. AA+: The luster will be slightly sharper than the AA pearl. You should be able to see your reflection in the pearl and some background detail. Surface inclusions will be down to 10%. These pearls will be perfectly round in shape and well-matched. 4. AAA: The 'gem-quality' pearl has less than 5% inclusions over its surface, and can be completely free of inclusions. Luster can vary slightly from pearl to pearl, but it will be sharper than AA+ quality. The nacre will be at its' thickest, and should present a glowing surface that is slightly translucent. The shapes and matching of a strand of rounds should be excellent with little to no variation. 5. *HANADAMA: These pearls radiate light with a strong silvery-rose overtone, and display Orient rainbow iridescences that shimmer on the pearl's surface are the absolute best Akoya pearls that you can buy. Now that you received a little crash course in pearl selection, you are ready to venture out and buy some amazing pearl jewelry for the woman of your dream. I guarantee, she'll treasure it for a lifetime! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Accessing strong relationships with pearl farms in Asia, Australia, and French Polynesia, Pearl Jewelry Expert Amanda Raab has developed the ability to import the top 3% of each pearl harvest.
