Akoya grading

What GIA 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.
  • GIA HanadamaThis piece. Examined by GIA in the United States, which issued a pearl classification report placing these pearls in the hanadama quality range. We then selected from the upper end of that range. GIA holds a harder line on surface than the Japanese laboratories, so this designation is the harder one to earn.

This 6.5–7.0 mm hanadama akoya pearl necklace represents the very top range of what we offer in this classic size.

Hanadama is not a single grade, but a range of fine-quality akoya pearls. When a strand stands apart for its luster, surface quality and overall balance, we submit it to the Gemological Institute of America. GIA examines the pearls and issues a pearl classification report, and on qualifying akoya it notes that the pearls fall within the quality range the trade knows as hanadama.

GIA holds a stricter line than the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan, particularly on surface. Not every strand PSL certifies as hanadama would earn that note from GIA. Every strand that does would meet PSL's requirements as well.

The pearls in this necklace measure 6.5–7.0 mm and are carefully matched for brightness, shape, and consistency. The necklace is strung on twin silk to protect the strand over time.

Available in 16-inch and 18-inch lengths. 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.

This is a refined, understated hanadama strand for those who value precision, balance, and independent verification over marketing terms.

Please note: GIA examines each strand at 18 inches, and the pearl count on the report reflects that length. If you choose 16 inches, we shorten the necklace and include the remaining pearls loose, so the pearls you receive match the report.

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

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.
