I would be really careful trying to buff out the scratch. You can attempt to polish it again, but the scratch is likely to still be visible. Do you know how deep the scratch is? How was it possibly scratched? It looks like a scratch from a sharp piece of metal, like someone was setting it into a piece and slipped (twice). I have had this happen with Tahitian pearls in the past. I have been able to clean it up a little, but not make the scratch disappear. When this is the case the only use I then have for the pearl is a setting which covers one side.

How do you plan to use the pearl?
