When only the best of the best will do, the finest grade of hanadama akoya is often the pearl of choice. The unmistakable rainbow iridescence that emanates from these pearls is unlike any other type of pearl.
The pearls in this strand measure 8.0-8.5 mm, which is a very popular size. Every pearl is individually knotted on twin silk to prevent rubbing and scratching, and the necklace is finished with a solid 14 karat clasp with a safety catch. At 18 inches, it will lay just below your collarbone, at perfect princess length.
Every pearl is individually knotted on twin silk so the pearls never rub or scratch. The necklace is finished with a solid 14 karat clasp that features a safety hook so your pearls will always be safe.
Hanadama akoya pearls come from a special category of pearls. While there is no recognized international standard for grading akoya pearls, every harvest produces pearls that are considered special, and these pearls are separated from all others and treated differently. These pearls are referred to as hanadama. They are reserved as the very best of the harvest. But even within this category, there is always a quality range.
For decades we have been working with the same family-run farms in Japan. These families understand our rigorous standards and select hanadama pearls specifically for us. They ensure these pearls are only the top range of the hanadama category.
Once the hanadama pearls are selected, they are imported and graded by our Chief Creative Officer, Hisano. She examines every strand and every pearl to ensure the quality is always up to par. She rejects any pearls that do not fall within the highest hanadama range. She has the best eye in the business and loves what she does. This is something you will recognize the moment you open the box. These pearls will take your breath away.
Accompanying your strand of pearls is a uniquely numbered and laminated pearl quality report prepared by the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan, which describes in detail the beauty and perfection of your hanadama akoya pearl necklace.
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 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.

Handama Pearl Necklace
"I purchased this necklace as a Christmas gift for my wife. We were both extremely impressed with the quality of the necklace. The necklace was noticeably better than ones I originally looked at in jewelry stores. I am very glad I found their website, and will most likely be ordering from them again."
