This strand
This strand of natural white akoya pearls is sure to take your breath away. There is something about the intense luster and orient only found in this special category of pearl that mesmerizes. Reflections appear to come from deep within the pearl, creating a perfect mirror.
The pearls measure an ungraduated 8.5-9.0 mm in size. This is considered a substantial strand and perfectly suited for such fine quality. 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 collarbone. Often referred to as princess length, it’s the most popular 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
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
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.
Matched and finished by our own team rather than pulled off a shelf, and still out the door within one business day.
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.

"I was nervous buying online, sight unseen, but I did my research, hung out on Pearl forums on the Internet, and got over my concerns. Pearl Paradise made it easy, helping me select a specific strand over the internet, and happily answering my questions. I can't thank you enough. When the Necklace was opened on Christmas Day, I got the gasp of surprise I was looking for, and I am one very happy customer."
