Akoya grading

What AA+ means on this strand

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+This piece. Bright, with the edge of a reflection nearly sharp. Round, 85 to 95% clean, with medium nacre.
  • AAABright 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.

Widely considered the ideal size for a classic pearl necklace, this 7.0-7.5 mm AA+ quality white akoya strand offers timeless elegance with just the right amount of presence. It’s one of our most popular choices—for good reason.

Each pearl is carefully selected for roundness, surface quality, and soft luster, then matched into a strand that’s balanced, graceful, and versatile. These akoya pearls are sourced from the cold waters of Japan, where generations of family-run farms continue to produce pearls of consistent beauty and quality.

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.

We’ve partnered with the same trusted farms in Japan for decades. Their understanding of our high AA+ standards ensures that every strand we offer reflects the quality, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal that define fine akoya pearls.

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.

Heirloom Quality

"I did a lot of research before buying. From what I found, Pearl Paradise has the Best pearls for the price you’ll find on the web. Easy to understand rating system, that’s not misleading like some of their competitors. My wife loved hers, we got an added discount for buying around Mother’s Day. Fast shipping and great wrapping presentation. Also they provide you with all the paperwork you need to document the quality of the pearls. My wife is excited to have something with the quality and lasting beauty that she’ll be able to hand down to our daughters one day. Thank you Pearl Paradise, James"
