Akoya grading

What AAA means on this pair

Our akoya grades consider luster, shape, surface, nacre and matching together, and luster is what they turn on. There is no universal akoya standard, so AAA means different things at different companies and the letters alone are not worth much. Ours is an internal standard.

  • ABright luster that goes hazy at the edges. Round to near round, 75 to 85% clean, with thin nacre.
  • AA+Bright, with the edge of a reflection nearly sharp. Round, 85 to 95% clean, with medium nacre.
  • AAAThis piece. Bright and sharp. Round, 95% clean or better, with visibly thick nacre and close matching.
  • HanadamaCertified in Japan by an independent laboratory, then selected by us from the upper end of that range. Hanadama is a quality range rather than a single level, so two certified strands can differ considerably.

The large pair of 8.5-9.0 mm AAA Akoya pearls are absolutely brilliant set on these 14k gold huggie-style hoop earrings. They are perfectly round with sharp luster and shimmering overtones.

Before you decide

We can show you the pearls first

The pearls are here in our Los Angeles office. Before you buy anything, we will photograph the exact pair we would use for your earrings and send them to you.

What you will see

Photographs of the actual pearls we would use for your earrings.

We hold the exact pearls we photograph for you for 24 hours while you decide.

We usually reply within one business day, Monday through Friday.

The same on everything we sell

What you can count on before you look at a single pearl

We do our own buying

We do not outsource our buying, and we do not pick from someone else's catalog. Every pearl we sell is sourced, inspected and bought by us, from the growers, producers and dealers we have worked with for decades.

Made in Los Angeles

Matched and finished by our own team rather than pulled off a shelf, and still out the door within one business day.

Graded to our own standard

There is no universal pearl grading standard. Ours is internal, applied the same way across everything we sell, and luster is what it turns on.

The perfect push present for my first baby

"Absolutely in love with my earrings. The pearls are beautiful with great luster. You can tell they are precious. The huggie style is exactly what I was looking for. They give “Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman” vibes and are very comfortable. Such a special piece to celebrate the birth of my first child. I will treasure them and hopefully pass them on to her."

South Sea Pearl Ring with Diamonds

"This is a statement piece. I love it. I was not sure I wanted to spend that much on a Pearl Ring but this one was definitely worth it. Great purchase."

Norma K. (5/5)

Very sweet

"Huggie hoops smaller and not as strong looking as I had expected, but nice nevertheless, pearls are perfect in shape size, lustre."

Gail E. (5/5)

Not as they appear

"The pearls are not as white as in the picture and the clasp is teeny-tiny. However, I dont like stud backs, and the pearls are a good size and fall perfectly. I will keep them -- but it would be very helpful to see all the pearls on actual models. The pictures are deceptive, and it colors my trust of the pictures."

T C. (5/5)

I bought a necklace and

"I bought a necklace and matching earrings for my wife. They are absolutely beautiful. Very well made. My wife loves them. We received a card saying the authenticity of the pearls. It was very well gift wrapped. I will definitely buy more from this company."
