Akoya grading

What AA+ means on this pair

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+This piece. 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.
  • 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

A pair of 7.0-7.5 mm akoya pearl earrings is a nice, substantial size. They are perfectly suited to match a strand of similar or slightly smaller size. As black is not a naturally occurring color in akoya pearls, these pearls have been treated with a permanent organic dye to achieve their dark color. The posts and backs are composed of solid 14-karat gold.

No two pearls are exactly alike, so the pearls you receive may look slightly different in color from the pearl photographed here.

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 pair we would use for your earrings and send them to you.

What you will see

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

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.

Decent quality

"When I opened it, I was a little disappointed at the luster of the pearl. Then I went in to the brighter light , then the luster appears better. So, I decided to keep the merchandise. I like Pearl Paradise for making pearl more affordable with Pearl point and special code discount."

Classic with a twist

"I really love these earrings. I bought them to have something classic but different, and find myself wearing them more often than I expected. They look great with a business suit, formal wear, or a flannel shirt and jeans. A nice, sleek, dark alternative to classic white pearl earnings"
