Akoya grading

What 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.
  • HanadamaThis piece. Certified 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.

The pearls in this strand measure 7.0-7.5 mm, the most popular size. Every pearl is individually knotted on twin silk so the pearls never rub or scratch, and the necklace is finished with a solid 14 karat clasp with a safety catch. At 18 inches, it will sit just below your collar bone. It’s one of the most popular lengths we offer.

Most akoya pearls are lightly pinked after harvest to enhance their color. Natural white akoya pearls are different. These pearls are selected for their naturally white body color and fine luster and are not subjected to the pinking process, resulting in a naturally white appearance.

For decades, we have worked closely with a small network of pearl producers and specialists in Japan who understand our standards and select these rare pearls specifically for us from the very top range of the hanadama category.

Once imported, every strand is carefully reviewed by our Chief Creative Officer, Hisano, to ensure consistency, balance, and overall quality.

Each strand is accompanied by a uniquely numbered, laminated certificate from the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan. This report verifies not only their Hanadama quality but also confirms that no color treatment has been applied. 

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 strand we would use for your necklace and send it to you.

We knot to order, so you may see the pearls before they have been strung and clasped.

What you will see

Photographs of the exact strand we would use for your necklace.

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.

Gorgeous!!

"This was a special gift for my daughter on her wedding day. I first purchased an Akoya AAA necklace from another well known pearl house, but it didn’t have the “wow” factor I wanted and the overall quality of the stringing did not warrant the price. So I returned it and decided to seriously stretch my budget and buy the natural white hanadamas from Pearl Paradise, and am SO glad I did. Simply stunning. Attached is a photo of the 2 necklaces (natural hanadamas on left) for comparison in case you’re undecided."

Nancy M. (5/5)

Excellent customer service

"I am very happy with Pearl Paradise's reputation quality of the necklace. Their customer service team helped me to make a decision, including taking comparison photos and answering all my questions about Akoya pearls and Pearl Paradise's natural white hamadama line. I'll definitely come back"

Alan S. (5/5)

Reflections are bright but not sharp enough

"Shape is perfect. Lustre of some pearls are good but some are not. I also bought hanadama necklace this time. I believed hanadama is only my choice if I buy Akoya Pearls here next time. I hope there is double strand hanadama bracelet in the future."

HIU N. (3/5)
