Akoya grading

What AAA means on this ring

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.

8.0-11.6 mm South Sea and akoya pearl Multi Bubble ring
Two South Sea cultured pearls · six Japanese akoya cultured pearls · 18K white gold · ring size 5.5

Eight cultured pearls in three sizes are clustered on this 18K white gold ring, two South Sea pearls from 8.0 to 11.6 mm surrounded by six Japanese akoya pearls from 3.0 to 5.5 mm.

The graduation from the small akoya to the larger South Sea pearls gives the cluster depth, and the mixed pearl types bring two different qualities of luster into one piece. Ring size 5.5.

Part of the Assael Collection, held in our Los Angeles vault.

What you can count on before you look at a single pearl

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.

Natural color, guaranteed

Nothing we sell in this category is dyed, irradiated or color enhanced. The color you see grew in the oyster.

Finished in Los Angeles

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.
