9-12mm White Round Freshwater Pearl Strand, AAA Grade

Description

Buying a 9-12mm White Round Freshwater Pearl Strand, AAA Grade is usually about balancing cost and appearance for your customers. I keep hearing from designers who are tired of overpaying for saltwater pearls when their market just wants a clean, classic look. Most people want the impact of a large pearl but they do not have the budget for museum quality pieces. This 9-12mm size is a staple because it is big enough to look expensive but remains affordable enough to sell in volume.

Making mid-range inventory work for you

Managing costs in a jewelry business is hard. If you buy top-tier AAAAA pearls for every project, your margins disappear quickly. This AAA grade strand is the workhorse of the industry. The pearls are round to the eye and have a clean white color. They are not perfect, but that is the point.

Here is what you are actually getting:

• Strands are about 16 inches long, which is standard for a choker.
• The surface has minor natural marks that show the pearls are real.
• Luster is good enough to catch the light from across a room.

I worked with a designer in New York who only used high-end Edison pearls. She was struggling to move inventory at her price point. I suggested she try these AAA strands for her “everyday” collection. She cut her material costs by 40% and her sales doubled because her prices finally matched what her customers wanted to pay. You can pair these with our [silver findings] or [silk thread] to finish the look.

FAQs

Q: How round are these pearls?
A: They are round to the eye. If you use a caliper, you will find slight variations, but when they are on a neck, they look like perfect spheres.

Q: Are the pearls on the strand uniform?
A: We try to match them for size and color. Since they are natural, there is always a tiny bit of character change from one end to the other.

Q: Can I use these for earrings?
A: Yes. Many of our clients break the strands down to find matched pairs for studs or drops.
