8.0-8.5 mm Certified Tennyo Hanadama Akoya Pearl Strand

Presenting one of the finest strands of Akoya pearls available anywhere. This is an 8.0–8.5 mm, Goddess (Tennyo) graded strand of Hanadama Akoya pearls—certified at the highest level by Japan’s Pearl Science Laboratory.

You may already be familiar with Hanadama, a designation reserved for the highest quality Akoya pearls. But among these elite pearls is a category even more exclusive: Tennyo. This rare certification is reserved for strands that exceed even Hanadama standards in every measurable way—luster, surface, nacre thickness, and orient.

The 8.0–8.5 mm size is considered ideal by many pearl connoisseurs—large enough to make an impression, yet timeless and refined. These pearls exhibit mirror-like luster and a soft, luminous glow that only the finest Akoya pearls can achieve.

The strand is hand-knotted on twin silk and finished with a clasp of your choice, measuring approximately 18 inches. It is accompanied by a Pearl Science Laboratory certificate indicating its rare Tennyo Hanadama status.

While we cannot add pearls to lengthen the strand, we can shorten it if you prefer a tighter fit or choker style. Any removed pearls can be returned with your order or used to create a custom matching piece—just let us know how we can help.
