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.

Baroque South Sea pearl, Akoya pearl, and diamond vine earrings
Clip-back earrings · 50 pearls · 15.49 ctw diamonds · 3.75 inches · platinum

These exceptional clip-back earrings are meticulously handcrafted in platinum and designed as cascading vine forms that emphasize movement, dimension, and refined artistry. Each earring is crowned with a substantial baroque South Sea cultured pearl measuring approximately 15 × 18 mm, selected for its luminous nacre and sculptural presence.

Suspended below each South Sea pearl is a graceful arrangement of twenty-four baroque Akoya cultured pearls measuring approximately 7.5–8.0 mm. The Akoya pearls display a natural blue/silver tone, bright luster and soft iridescence, arranged to create fluid motion and a layered, organic silhouette reminiscent of fruit-bearing branches. 

Interwoven throughout the platinum vine structure are forty briolette-cut natural diamonds, twenty per earring, with a combined total weight of 15.49 carats. These diamonds are suspended to move freely, adding dynamic flashes of light as the earrings shift. Beneath each Akoya pearl is an additional small diamond, for a total of forty-eight accent diamonds weighing approximately 0.67 carats.

The earrings measure approximately 3.75 inches in length and are finished with secure clip-back fittings. Their scale, articulation, and craftsmanship result in a striking balance of elegance and dramatic presence.

This pair represents a singular expression of high jewelry craftsmanship, combining rare pearl forms, precision diamond setting, and sculptural platinum design. As a one-of-a-kind creation, these earrings cannot be replicated.

Buying from us

This piece is one of a kind

It has no reviews of its own because only one exists. These are reviews of Pearl Paradise from people who bought something else.

The first pearls received I wasn't the biggest fan of their color. They sent me some pictures closer to what I was looking for and let me trade. The pearls are even better looking in person and it was a very fast delivery

Daniel G. · Verified buyer

I was nervous purchasing something so expensive but when I received them I was mesmerize by these pearls. They are stunning and I highly recommend Hanadamas.
