This bracelet
Matched by hand, then made for you
This 8.0–8.5 mm hanadama akoya pearl bracelet represents the highest range of quality within this larger, more substantial size.
Hanadama is not a single grade, but a range of fine-quality akoya pearls. When we encounter strands that stand apart for their luster, surface quality, and overall balance, we submit them to the Gemological Institute of America for hanadama certification.
GIA applies a more stringent evaluation standard than the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan. While many hanadama strands certified by PSL would not qualify under GIA’s criteria, any strand that earns GIA hanadama certification would meet or exceed PSL’s requirements.
The pearls in this bracelet measure 8.0–8.5 mm and are carefully matched for brightness, shape, and consistency. Each pearl is individually knotted on twin silk to protect the bracelet over time.
The bracelet is finished with a solid gold clasp with a safety hook for secure wear. This piece is accompanied by GIA hanadama documentation confirming its classification.
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 pearls we would use for your bracelet and send them to you.
We knot to order, so you may see the pearls before they have been strung and clasped.

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.
