I assume they consider these the fine gem grade beyond the A rating system.
Lost lost lost.

How can you have something beyond its own grading system even if it is your own unofficial one? Surely Amanda and Jeremy do have a freshwater grading scale beyond the AAA to incorporate their premium lines and they must be regarded as AAA+ or AAAA freshwater pearls (because of the orient perhaps) by virtue of the fact that these lines actually exist?
There is no implied criticism here just confusion. Why not just call the elite and paradise collections AAAA or AAA+ and be done with it?

Or am I completely missing the point and it is common in the industry to have gem quality pearls outside the grading system?

Susan - possibly showing her total ignorance.
