The pearl story

From an undrilled parcel to a finished strand.

01 — Sourcing

Bought loose, before anyone strings them.

We buy undrilled parcels directly from farms and old Hyderabad trade houses, then sort by hand. Most of a parcel never makes it into a mala.

02 — Grading

Lustre first. Everything else follows.

Each pearl is judged under daylight for depth of nacre and the sharpness of its reflection. Surface and shape are matched afterwards, bead to bead.

03 — Knotting

Knotted on silk, one pearl at a time.

A knot between every pearl so nothing rubs and nothing scatters if the thread gives. A long strand takes the better part of a day.

The anatomy of a good pearl

Four things worth checking before you buy.

Ask us to show each of these on camera. A good pearl survives the questions.

Lustre

How sharply the light comes back at you.

Surface

Few blemishes, none where it shows.

Shape

Round rolls straight on a flat table.

Nacre thickness

Depth of coating — what makes it last.

Grading

Four grades, and what separates them.

The scale the trade uses. We tell you which one you're looking at before you ask.

  • Excellent — reflections appear bright and sharp.
  • Surface quality 95% clean or better.
  • Extremely thick nacre. Tahitian pearls run a minimum of 0.8mm; white and golden South Sea average 2–4mm.
  • Very good — reflections appear bright and near sharp.
  • Surface quality 90–95% clean or better.
  • Akoya pearls carry thick nacre at 0.4mm or more. Freshwater pearls are solid, with nacre that differs from saltwater.
  • Good — reflections are bright but not sharp, and slightly hazy at the edges.
  • Surface quality 75–80% clean or better.
  • Nacre is solid on freshwater pearls, whose composition differs from saltwater. On Akoya it may be thin in places.
  • Fair — reflections are weak and blurred.
  • Blemish-free across 60% of the pearl's surface.
  • Nacre is visibly thin on Akoya pearls, and the nucleus shows under some lighting.

Certification

Every piece leaves with a signed card.

  • A lifelong guarantee on the pearls themselves — genuineness and quality, in writing.
  • One year of warranty on the jewellery, covering manufacturing defects.
  • The piece, the date and the signature recorded by hand, so the card matches what you carried home.

Our story

Crafted by Nature,
Perfected for You.

Since 1962, Swati Pearls has sourced, strung and set pearls by hand from a small workshop in Nampally. What began as one family's craft has grown into Hyderabad's trusted name for heirloom pearl jewellery, without losing the care of that first workbench.
