This strand
Matched by hand, then made for you
This 8.5–9.0 mm hanadama akoya pearl necklace, documented by GIA, pairs exceptional Japanese akoya pearls with diamond accents throughout the strand. The pearls show a strong rose overtone.
The pearls were selected for their exceptional luster, surface quality and overall balance before being submitted 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.
Four diamond rondelles are positioned along the front of the necklace, adding subtle brilliance between the pearls without taking away from their natural beauty. The 18-inch necklace is finished with a coordinating pavé diamond ball clasp, creating a continuous diamond-accented design that can be worn with the clasp traditionally at the back or styled as a visible feature.
The clasp and rondelles are crafted in 14K white gold and set with natural diamonds.

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.
