This pearl is "A Quality", the highest grade of the A, B, C and D nomenclature assigned to grade black diamond Tahitian south sea pearls. The allure of the black pearl is in the way it captures light, refines it and delivers it back in a dark incandescent glow. This ring features an 10mm pearl and .36 carats of G color, SI1 clarity diamonds. Unlike gems that are extracted from the earth and polished, the pearl is the only gem originating from a living organism. American Pearl is widely regarded as perhaps the most reliable and honest source of wholesale pearls anywhere in the world.In business since 1950, American Pearl's networking legacy is a key reason we are able to operate with the huge patchwork of inside sources and large economy of scale that enable us to import at such drastically reduced prices -- a savings we happily pass on to our many loyal customers.
