First you have to decide on the uniqueness of the design that you want to incorporate in your handcrafted pearl jewelry. Having decided on that, you can next focus on your search.

The grading of pearls is done based on its size, color, luster and smoothness. Pearls that are smoother and whiter are considered to be of better grade. Luster is also equally important. Pearls that are flat without any luster are not good quality ones. The initial shine has to be there otherwise your handcrafted pearl jewelry would look dull and lifeless. Cost and size are interrelated but small pearls are also good. The size should be able to compliment the jewelry piece. For example to accentuate a single carat diamond ring you need a small pearl and not a large one.
