What Our Customers Say
Questions
Answered with care
Yes. Every piece at Mangatrai is guaranteed authentic, sourced from Freshwater, Akoya, South Sea, or Tahitian pearls, with IGI/GIA certification where applicable — backed by 120+ years of expertise in pearl selection.
Pearls are graded on the A–AA–AAA scale based on luster, surface quality, shape, and nacre thickness — with AAA being the finest.
- A Grade (Authentic & Expressive): Good luster and shape, with more visible natural surface characteristics — a genuine, accessible entry point into fine pearls.
- AA Grade (Polished & Refined): A refined, versatile choice with strong luster and shape — ideal for classic necklaces, bracelets, and earrings meant for everyday wear.
- AAA Grade (Rare & Exceptional): The finest tier — mirror-like luster, 95%+ clean surface, near-perfect round shape, and thick nacre for lasting brilliance. Reserved for statement and heirloom pieces.
Note: Pearl grading isn't governed by a single global standard, so grades can vary between sellers. At Mangatrai, every pearl is graded consistently across our own collections so you can compare with confidence.
