Akoya grading

What AAA means on this bracelet

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.
  • AAAThis piece. Bright 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.

This bracelet is strung with round akoya pearls measuring 9.0 to 9.5 mm, a size the top of an akoya harvest rarely reaches. The body color is white with a warm cast that sits well against rose gold, and the luster is the hard, mirror-like reflection akoya are bought for. They grade AAA for luster, surface and matching.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece with an adjustable fit and no clasp choice to make. The chain slides through a small gold bead so the bracelet draws in to roughly 6 inches or opens out to 8, which means it goes over the hand and then sits where you want it. The pearls are individually hand-knotted on color-matched silk so that no two pearls rub against each other. The ball clasp and a matching ball set opposite it are polished solid 18 karat rose gold, with ninety-six diamonds totaling 0.50 carats scattered across the two and flush-set into the metal. An 18 karat Pearl Paradise tag finishes the chain.

Our akoya pearls come from the cold coastal waters of Japan, where we have worked with the same family-run farms for decades. They know our grading standards and select to them.

Buying from us

This piece is one of a kind

It has no reviews of its own because only one exists. These are reviews of Pearl Paradise from people who bought something else.

The first pearls received I wasn't the biggest fan of their color. They sent me some pictures closer to what I was looking for and let me trade. The pearls are even better looking in person and it was a very fast delivery

Daniel G. · Verified buyer

I was nervous purchasing something so expensive but when I received them I was mesmerize by these pearls. They are stunning and I highly recommend Hanadamas.

Laraine T. · Verified buyer

The web site was full of information and well organized. My order was lost in shipping, but PearlParadise replaced the order immediately after they were notified and paid for express shipping. Great Service.
