For necklaces like Tahitian and South Sea pearls, "graduated" strands are the norm because the harvest amounts are smaller, so processors have less to choose from when matching pearls for a necklace.
Non-Graduated Pearl Necklaces
The vast majority of pearl necklaces you'll find today are "non-graduated", meaning that the pearls feature little to no difference in sizes throughout the strand.
Non-graduated pearl necklaces are the norm today due to the way that pearls are cultured in modern times, allowing pearl processors to sort and match strands with the same size, body color and overtone much more easily than in the past when only natural pearls were available to choose from.
