Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does AAA pearl quality mean for these freshwater pearl beads?
A: AAA is the highest standard grade for freshwater pearls. It indicates that the pearl beads have an exceptional surface luster, minimal surface blemishes (less than 5% of the surface affected), a well-formed near-round shape, and thick, high-quality nacre. This grade ensures your finished jewelry looks polished and professional.
Q: What is the difference between near-round and perfectly round freshwater pearls?
A: Near-round freshwater pearls are very slightly off a perfect sphere — typically less than 2% deviation — making them virtually indistinguishable from round to the naked eye while offering a more natural, organic character. They are widely used in fine jewelry making for their balanced shape and natural appeal.
Q: How do I care for my finished jewelry made with these natural freshwater pearl beads?
A: Natural freshwater pearls should be kept away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and prolonged exposure to moisture. Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth after wearing and store them separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Proper care will maintain their luster and beauty for years to come.
