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.

Thank goodness I was wise enough to follow that star to your stable. Shall we offer raw freshadama as gold, frankincense and myrrh? The fact that I made these strands should have nothing to do with it, eh? By making thousands of 'impossible' pieces, I guess I can make them but not independently grade them... I wonder what some of the best freshadama should be called then. Even you have not seen those.
