We are proud to be the only company in the world to offer this new line of freshwater pearls. Each freshwater piece in this category features truly round pearls with brilliant luster, higher than even the finest quality akoya pearls. The pearls feature orient, which is a rainbow iridescence and an incredibly rare factor only seen in approximately .01% of freshwater pearls produced today. These magnificent pearls have been featured on The Ellen Degeneres Show
and discussed in detail on Pearl-Guide.com.

How do we do it?
When freshwater pearls are harvested they are separated into many different categories. These categories mainly consist of differing qualities used to create strands. We have always been proud of the fact that we select pearls only from the top two categories. But there is one additional category, a very special category, that remains. These are the pearls that are collected immediately after harvest and are deemed too perfect to drill. These pearls are then sold as loose, un-drilled, single pearls to wholesalers and collectors. These are the pearls we select, one by one, to create this magnificent line.

When purchasing a strand from this collection, be assured that you are receiving the world's finest quality freshwater pearls. You will never, ever see another - unless you purchase another from us.

Hanadama is the name given to the absolute highest quality akoya pearls by the standards of the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan. This standard of quality was developed by the founder of the cultured pearl industry, Kokichi Mikimoto. Hanadama is the best. There is no higher allowable grade.

Each Hanadama strand we carry is accompanied by an individual numbered certificate from the Pearl Science Laboratory of Tokyo, Japan stating the Hanadama grading. By purchasing one of our Hanadama pearl necklaces you are guaranteed to receive the absolute best akoya pearls produced in the world today.
