Could someone please tell me what the quality "Wesselton/Piq." means? We are
purchasing some jewelry from Holland and this is the name they give for
quality. Also, the grade is PK? I am not familiar with any of these, could
anyone please tell me what these terms are equivalent to?

Hi Storis,

Wesselton is approximately equivalent to a GIA color grade of "H". Pique is imperfect (inclusions visible to the naked eye).

I hope this helps,

Thank you! Yes, that does help! Does the "PK" ring any bells?

PK=pique - that's my guess. PK is how the word Pique is pronounced in French.
