Akoya grading

What Hanadama 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.
  • AAABright and sharp. Round, 95% clean or better, with visibly thick nacre and close matching.
  • HanadamaThis piece. Certified 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 7.0-7.5 mm hanadama akoya pearl necklace represents the top range of the hanadama category. The sharp luster and rainbow iridescence of these pearls set them apart from every other grade of akoya.

Hanadama is not a single grade but a range. Every harvest produces a small number of pearls that are separated from the rest and submitted for hanadama certification, and even within that group there is a quality spread. For decades we have worked with the same family-run farms in Japan, who select hanadama specifically for us from the top of that range. Every strand is then graded again by our Chief Creative Officer, Hisano, before it is offered for sale.

The pearls are ungraduated and individually knotted on twin silk. The necklace is available in 16-inch and 18-inch lengths. At 18 inches it sits at or just below the collarbone.

The necklace is finished with your choice of a solid 14K gold ball clasp or an 18K gold clasp set with natural diamonds. Every clasp has a safety hook.

Each strand is accompanied by a uniquely numbered, laminated pearl quality report from the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan.

Please note: all strands are PSL-certified at 18 inches. If you select a 16-inch length, the necklace will be shortened and the remaining pearls will be included loose so the total pearl count matches the PSL certificate.

The same on everything we sell

What you can count on before you look at a single pearl

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.

I could not believe how gorgeous these were when I received them! She was beyond thrilled with her gift."

Excellent purchase!

"I am amaze by this first purchase at Pearl Paradise.com. I never had in the past think of purchasing jewellery on the web. So I was a bit afraid to do it. I did read a bit of information available on reliable & trusted jewellers for a pearl necklace and from the review one site give me confidence. This is PealParadise and I did not regret to put my confidence in. I won't hesitate to purchase my next wife birthday gift at PearlParadise! Thank you!"
