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.
Read the full grading standards

When you own this pendant, you will come to realize why we’ve described it as the Essential Collection pearl pendant. It’s one you will never want to take off. It will complement everything in your wardrobe.

The elegant setting has a dramatically contoured and elongated shape, guiding the focus of its admirers to the natural beauty and luster of its top quality pearl. The simplicity and balance between the pearl and solid gold setting make it a perfect pendant for both casual or more formal occasions.

Akoya pearls are known for their perfect round shape and unmistakable luster unique to 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.

For decades we have been working with the same family-run operations in Japan. These families understand our rigorous grading standards and select pearls specifically for us. They ensure the pearls we offer fall within the finest range of every category. This is something we believe you’ll appreciate the moment you open the box.
