I'm not sure I'd wear them, but there is something captivating about them. I would like to see this grading system. I see that it is french. If there is a link in french, that would also be fine. (rather than have to scan anything).
Are there people who collect pearls as a hobby?

Hi Jonathan and welcome to our forum!
At the beginning we all start out as simple buyers of these beauties but as time goes by and we buy and buy we also become "collectors" as pearls have a habit to get one quite addicted! At first you want a certain type of pearl (SS, FW, Tahiti or Akoya) then You want different colours and shapes, very important too is to have different sizes to choose from...
, you see the list goes on and on....
I started with freshwater pearls in different grades and personally they are my favorites because of their versatility, great prices and different looks and colours!
I havenīt got any white South Seas yet as I want round pearls and not baroques (only when it comes to SS), but as these pearls donīt come cheaply, Iīll have to wait until I can add some to my personal collection
