Elizabeth,

It depends on how pronounced the inclusions are and how many of the pearls have inclusions. Also, if you're looking under magnification, you will always find flaws in real Akoya pearls.

Note that quality standards will deviate from one company to another. You will find that some companies will have higher standards for their AA+ quality than others.
