Your notes. Your next questions.
Compare the details before you choose.
What you leave with
A clearer decision,
not another list.
Reach payment with the product identity, evidence, seller responsibility and exit terms clearly documented.
Evidence reviewed 8 August 2026Use the desk
What should be clear before payment?
Move across the four decision areas, then use the source and local-check sections to test the choice before acting.
What you will receive
Exact dimensions, total weight, clasp, matching, current photographs and whether the shown piece is the delivered piece.
Seller evidence
Business identity, invoice, contact route, payment protection and claims that can be checked outside the listing.
After the sale
Return window, exclusions, resizing or restringing, repair responsibility, shipping and customs terms.
Official reference starting points
Real places, products
and resources to use.
Five practical records selected for this page. Each one leads to the organisation, issuer, authority or business responsible for the information—not a copied listing.
Independently selected · No paid placement · Reference date 8 August 2026GIA Report Check
Global
An online tool for checking data associated with a GIA report number.
Why use it
Match the report details to the item; a valid number is not proof that the item is the same one.
DANAT report verification
Global
DANAT provides a direct route to authenticate its issued reports.
Why use it
Verify the report independently and compare identifying details with the piece.
SSEF report verification
Global
SSEF provides digital report verification through its official service.
Why use it
Use the report number and confirm the report scope before relying on it.
Pearl Quality Factors
Global
GIA explains seven observable pearl value factors without reducing them to one universal grade.
Why use it
Use all relevant factors and your preference when comparing two pieces.
CIBJO Pearl Blue Book
International
An industry reference for pearl terminology, disclosure and classification language.
Why use it
Use it to challenge vague or inconsistent sales descriptions in writing.
A listing confirms a useful official starting point—not a recommendation, test result or guarantee. Availability, prices, access, certification and operating status can change; recheck the linked source before booking, buying or travelling.
A first purchase. A thoughtful gift.
Two pieces.
One clearer comparison.
Bring two product pages you are considering. Record what each seller says and mark the questions you have reviewed. Missing information is a reason to ask another question.
Planning a gift? Use the gift guide.
Use the same currency for both pieces and your budget. Changing currency does not convert amounts; re-enter any prices quoted in another currency.
No account or email is needed. This tool keeps your entries in this page only; it does not send or save them. Print your comparison before refreshing or leaving. Enter product information only, not personal or payment details.
Your entries and checked boxes are your own record. They do not authenticate a pearl, verify a seller or recommend a purchase. Confirm prices, availability and terms with the seller before paying. The reference guides above carry their own geographic scope.
