Can anyone recommend a reputable wholesale supplier for loose
freshwater and Akoya pearls? My Google search confused me completely.
Also, the various suppliers that I found, all seemed to have their
own grading system for identifying the quality of the pearls. Does
anyone know if there is one standard, or do the suppliers establish
their own standards?

don’t see what you’re looking for on the site give them a call.
Their selection of pearls is quite impressive.
I buy from them. Ask for Mary. She knows amazing and very humorous
stories about pearls. They are located in Uxbridge, MA in western the
suburbs of Boston.
