Tahitian Black Pearls are defined by four basic qualities: A, B, C, D

Quality A An “A Quality “ pearl is one that has no surface flaws or very slight flaws that are visible to the naked eye and confined to less than 10 percent of its surface. All “A Quality” pearls exhibit a high luster.	Quality C A “C Quality“ pearl is one that exhibits several visible flaws, distributed over more than one third of the surface and exhibits a medium quality luster.
Quality B A “B Quality” pearl is one that exhibits high or medium luster with some flaws visible to the naked eye and distributed over less than one third of the surface.	Quality D A “D Quality” pearl is one that exhibits a large amount of visible flaws over more than two thirds of the surface, regardless of luster.

Luster is evaluated according to reflection of light on the pearl’s surface. The brighter the reflection, the higher the luster.

Generally, rounder pearls which exhibit a high luster with few flaws will still command the most premium prices. In addition, special Pearl colors such as peacock, aubergine and pistachio will carry a premium price because of their rarity.
