This strand
Matched by hand, then made for you
Striking and sophisticated, this 9.0-9.5 mm AA+ quality white akoya pearl necklace is a bold expression of classic elegance. As the largest size typically produced in akoya pearls, this strand offers a commanding presence while maintaining the refined beauty akoya is known for.
Each pearl is sourced from the cold coastal waters of Japan and selected for its round shape, clean surface, and soft, glowing luster. Pearls of this size are exceptionally rare, and this strand represents the upper limit of what akoya pearl farming can produce—making it an excellent choice for those seeking something truly special.
The 18-inch necklace, known as the princess length, sits just below the collarbone and remains our most popular choice. To help you compare how it wears alongside other lengths, we’ve included a photo of a model wearing the 16-, 18-, and 22-inch strands side by side.
Each strand is made to order and finished with a solid 14-karat gold clasp and safety hook. This allows us to accommodate custom lengths—just contact our support team and we’ll be happy to create the perfect fit for you.
Thanks to our long-standing relationships with family-run farms in Japan, we’re able to access and select rare, high-quality pearls that meet our AA+ standards. This necklace blends scale and subtlety, offering timeless beauty in its most impressive form.
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 strand we would use for your necklace and send it to you.
We knot to order, so you may see the pearls before they have been strung and clasped.

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.
