Akoya grading

What AAA means on this pendant

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.

This Harmony Collection is the perfect showcase for the beauty of a single perfect pearl. The pendant’s diamond is framed perfectly by sleek twin V-shaped beams made of solid 14K gold.

Akoya pearls are known for their perfect round shape and unmistakable luster unique to akoya pearls grown in the cold coastal waters of Japan. The finest pearls from this region are known for their mirror-like luster and smooth surfaces – qualities you will clearly see the moment you open the box.

For more than a decade, we’ve imported akoya pearls from just two sources in Japan. This is the only way to guarantee the pearls have grown for two full seasons – a farming technique known as “koshimono.” This is important because it directly affects the nacre thickness, or the durability of your pearls. You want your pearls to last a lifetime, and you want to be able to pass them down from generation to generation. Two seasons of growth guarantees you will.

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.

"Beautiful and thank you"

Joseph P. (5/5)

neckless lacks a quality look needs more options width and length

"Neckless is very short (chocker 16") and thin distracts from the beautiful pearl and diamond, makes neckless look cheap."

Ronald O. (4/5)

Beautiful Pearls!

"Wife really likes them (though only after also getting her Mikimotos)"

Matthew P. (5/5)

Stunning

"The necklace is absolutely stunning. I gave it as a gift to my daughter. The pearl has gorgeous color and the size is perfect at 9mm with the beautiful diamond accent. I chose the box chain which is a thin box chain but a beautiful compliment to the pearl. I am very satisfied with my purchase from Pearl Paradise."

Leigh M. (5/5)

Beautiful pearl, nice diamond but could be a little bigger

"The pearl is absolutely gorgeous. The diamond is nice quality but if there was an option to get a slightly bigger diamond for a little more money, I think it would be worth the upgrade."

Frederick R. (5/5)

Beautiful pearls

"The pearls are just beautiful"

Arliette V. (5/5)

Fantastic quality piece.

"Fantastic quality piece."

Flimsy Chain

"I was looking forward to getting this pendant and chain so much, as it was a present for myself. But upon receiving the product, I am very disappointed as I don't think the quality of the chain is worth the price I paid for this pendant/chain combo at all. Buyers beware that the picture of the chain is misleading, it makes it appear thicker then it really is. I have owned akoya pearls previously and the quality of the pearl is the same and I got those for a fraction of the price of this. This was my first order from pearl paradise and will be my last. Really disappointed with the quality, as I paid duties and taxes, along with international shipping for this. Some might be okay with the quality as the other reviews suggest. In my opinion the price is way over exaggerated fort he quality of the product. Packaging was nice, therefore the one star."
