8-9mm White Teardrop (Pear-Shaped) Freshwater Loose Pearl, AAAA Grade

Description

Matching loose teardrop pearls by hand saves bench jewelers hours of sorting. We grade and sort these 8-9mm white pear-shaped freshwater pearls at AAAA quality so earring pairs share balanced fullness, taper, and clean luster.

Sizing, Shape Balance, and AAAA Surface

Each pearl is measured across its widest horizontal diameter (8-9mm), while overall drop length varies naturally with organic freshwater growth. At AAAA grade, the nacre shows bright reflection and mostly clean surfaces under normal viewing, giving bridal drops and solitaire pendants a clean finish without the jump in cost of top-tier flawless lots.

At 8-9mm, the pear silhouette carries enough drop weight to hang straight on ear wires and pendant bails. For multi-stone designs, these pair cleanly alongside classic white pearl strands or finished pearl earring collections.

Drilling Options and Matched Pair Sorting

Pearls ship loose and can be delivered undrilled, half-drilled (for stud pins and pendant pegs), or full-drilled (for wire wrapping and pass-through chains) based on your design requirements. Specify whether you need matched pairs or mixed lots, along with your pin or wire diameter in millimeters; you can also review our drilling specification guide.
