This 8.0–8.5 mm hanadama akoya pearl bracelet represents the highest range of quality within this larger, more substantial size.
Hanadama is not a single grade, but a range of fine-quality akoya pearls. When we encounter strands that stand apart for their luster, surface quality, and overall balance, we submit them to the Gemological Institute of America for hanadama certification.
GIA applies a more stringent evaluation standard than the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan. While many hanadama strands certified by PSL would not qualify under GIA’s criteria, any strand that earns GIA hanadama certification would meet or exceed PSL’s requirements.
The pearls in this bracelet measure 8.0–8.5 mm and are carefully matched for brightness, shape, and consistency. Each pearl is individually knotted on twin silk to protect the bracelet over time.
The bracelet is finished with a solid gold clasp with a safety hook for secure wear. This piece is accompanied by GIA hanadama documentation confirming its classification.
