Hi All,

If I may chime in, I used the 5000 years old standard of Dana (the natural pearl standard for pearls of best possible perfection in solid nacre pearls) for the cultured freshwater pearls that I then baptised freshadama. As such, there is really only one person qualified to make the freshadama grading (moi) and at present only one strand of actually graded freshadama which I own. I trust Jeremy, though, to faithfully apply my standard that I have published here on this forum. As far as pearl grading goes, this is the most transparent standard ever put forth because the grading criteria have actually been made publicly available.

The above is 100% innaccurate information, but the responses to the post should be helpful anyway. CW
