This 7.5–8.0 mm hanadama akoya pearl necklace represents the very top range of what we offer in this classic size.
Hanadama is not a single grade, but a range of fine-quality akoya pearls. When we encounter strands that stand apart for their luster, surface quality, and overall balance, we submit them to the Gemological Institute of America for hanadama certification.
GIA applies a more stringent evaluation standard than the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan. While many hanadama strands certified by PSL would not qualify under GIA’s criteria, any strand that earns GIA hanadama certification would meet or exceed PSL’s requirements.
The standard version is finished with a solid 14K gold clasp with a safety hook. An optional 18K diamond clasp is also available, set with seven natural diamonds of VS1–G quality with a total weight of 0.21 carats.
Please note: all strands are GIA-certified at 18 inches. If you select a 16-inch length, the necklace will be shortened and the remaining pearls will be included loose so the total pearl count matches the GIA certificate.
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.

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.

Best place shop for Akoya pearls.
"I have a lot of pearls, and I love pearls.Pearlparadise.com has the best quality pearls at a reasonable price. With their top notch customer service ( my sales person is Erin), pearl paradise.com is only and the best place shopping place for Akoya pearls. I only recommend Akoya because I have not had the chance to shop for south sea pearl here yet, but I will soon. I will keep recommending pearlparade.com to my family and friends. Thank you Pearlpradise.com for having the best selection available for a savvy shopper like me. I do not have to spend a big check to Mikimoto for Akoya pearl because of you. P.S: For the reader, I purchased a natural hanadama pearl set."
