Akoya grading

What AAA 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+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.

Elegant, timeless, and exceptionally refined, this 7.0-7.5 mm AAA quality white akoya pearl necklace represents the very best of traditional pearl jewelry. This size is often considered the perfect balance of presence and grace—making it one of our most sought-after styles.

Each pearl is hand-selected from the cold coastal waters of Japan and meets our highest AAA grading standards—perfectly round, highly reflective, and nearly flawless. The result is a strand that radiates mirror-like luster and a level of uniformity that’s unmistakably fine.

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.

Our decades-long relationships with Japan’s most respected family-run pearl farms allow us to offer only the finest selections within each grade. The craftsmanship, consistency, and quality behind this strand make it a true investment in beauty—one to wear for life and pass down for generations.

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.

What you will see

Photographs of the exact strand we would use for your necklace.

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.

Amazing quality

"Beautiful pearls with outstanding quality"

Zarina T. (5/5)

Real nice.

"Wife of 30 years loves it. AndI didn’t have to spend $10k+."

Gerald S. (5/5)

Beautiful Akoya Pearls!

"This a beautiful strand of pearls. I cannot wait to have them formally appraised. I have two other high-quality (AA) strands of Akoya pearls that I purchased locally, and these outshine both of them at a considerable cost savings. I purchased the 22-inch matinee which is just what I wanted. I find the ball clasp is a bit easier to use than the "standard" clasp that is on my other strands."

Carl E. (5/5)

She loves it!

"This beautiful strand of Akoya pearls was a graduation gift for our daughter. This is the first time we have ever made a purchase like this, and Jordyn at Pearl Paradise was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in helping us secure the perfect strand for us. They arrived quickly with authentication and were even lovelier in person. Since we didn’t have any experience judging real vs faux pearls, I took them to a local jeweler to verify these were legit, and I was not disappointed. My daughter loves them, and I know that she will treasure them for years to come."

Lydia L. (5/5)

Very nice!

"The weave that connects the sparkle and pearls is excellent, but the part where the necklace is opened and removed requires careful attention."

Soon K. (5/5)

Beautiful strand

"Absolutely beautiful strand and great customer service. The pearls are very well matched and almost glow with lister. The only thing I would like differently is a more intuitive clasp- my wife has difficulty with it."

Andrew C. (5/5)

Made her cry. .

"Gave this as birthday gift to a special lady. It brought tears to her eyes. The luster, quality, craftsmanship were superb. I have also purchased ear studs and and pearl ring from PP, everything is always of the topmost quality, and prices are always less than other vendors like PofJ@y and PurePrls"

Michael C. (5/5)

My wife absolutely loves her

"My wife absolutely loves her pearls. It was a gift to recognize her for all that she does for me. We both like the quality and luster of the necklace. Thanks Pearl Paradise for helping me with this purchase."
