Akoya grading

What AAA means on this set

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 set. 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.

When you’re ready to make a classic statement with the finest quality available, this 7.5-8.0 mm AAA quality akoya pearl set delivers elegance with noticeable presence and unmistakable refinement.

This three-piece set includes a necklace, bracelet, and matching stud earrings, all featuring perfectly round, high-luster akoya pearls. Grown in the cold waters of Japan, these pearls are carefully selected for their exceptional surface quality, brilliant luster, and ideal shape—representing the highest grade we offer in this size.

The 18-inch necklace, known as the princess length, sits just below the collarbone and is our most popular choice. To help you compare, we’ve included a photo of a model wearing 16-, 18-, and 22-inch strands in this classic 7.5-8.0 mm size.

Each piece is hand-knotted on twin silk in our Los Angeles studio and finished with solid 14-karat gold clasps and safety hooks. Since we string every piece to order, we’re happy to customize the length—just contact our support team.

Our AAA pearls are sourced directly from trusted, multi-generational farms in Japan—relationships we’ve built over decades to ensure a consistent supply of pearls that meet our most exacting standards. From the moment you open the box, you’ll see the care, quality, and craftsmanship that set these pearls apart.

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 set and send them to you.

A set is matched as a set. The pearls in each piece are chosen to work with the others, so they read as one thing rather than two pieces that happen to be the same size.

What you will see

Photographs of the actual pearls we would use for your set.

We hold the exact pearls we photograph for you for 24 hours while you decide.

We usually reply within one business day, Monday through Friday.

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.
