Hanadama Pearls
Hanadama pearls are the finest akoya pearls produced in the world today. After every pearl harvest in Japan, the pearls are separated into graded lots to be sold direct to processing factories or at live auctions. Of the separated lots, there is always one lot that is treated differently. These are the pearls that have been selected from the harvest due to their remarkable luster, surface and overall quality. These pearls are handled and sold as a separate product.
Much like diamond grading and certification in the United States, before a strand or pair of hanadama-grade akoya pearls can be marketed as hanadama, they must first go through laboratory testing in Japan. The most respected laboratory that conducts this test is known as the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan. At the laboratory, technicians examine and grade the average nacre thickness, and they evaluate the luster and surface quality. A base minimum of excellence in each category is required to achieve the grading level of hanadama.
Over the past two years, we have added many different pieces to our hanadama pearl jewelry line. This is a category we plan to continually expand, with recent additions of certified hanadama pearl earrings and certified sets of both strands and matching earrings.
If you are searching for something we do not currently offer, please let us know. We would be happy to create any piece, whether a long rope or a double strand. The process of creation and hanadama certification will take approximately 2-3 weeks. But akoya pearls like these are certainly worth the wait.
