Cultured pearl strands accompanied by a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certificate — independently graded for your confidence. Akoya and South Sea, hand-strung in New York.
GIA-certified pearl strands go through strict evaluation by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) at their headquarters in Carlsbad, California, where they were assessed against master grading sets and awarded a GIA report number. Each strand will meet the highest standards of quality and authenticity, showcasing exceptional luster and beautiful overtones that reflect expert craftsmanship and natural elegance. The GIA remains the world’s leading authority on diamonds, colored gemstones, and pearls—ensuring that every strand is certified to the most exacting standards. If a strand is sold, we can submit another to GIA which usually requires 2 weeks.
Each strand in this collection was submitted to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) laboratory in Carlsbad, California, and comes with its own GIA Cultured Pearl Classification Report — an independent record of pearl type, size range, shape, color, luster, surface, nacre and matching.
Choose from Japanese Akoya, white and golden South Sea, and Tahitian strands. Each product page shows that strand's own GIA report details, so you can review the grading before you buy.
The GIA report accompanies your purchase as the document of record, so you know exactly what you are buying.
