Akoya grading

What Select Gem means on this pair

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.
  • AAABright 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.

8.0–8.5 mm Akoya pearl and diamond earrings
White akoya pearls · 18K white gold · 4 diamonds (0.49 ctw)

These earrings feature matched white akoya cultured pearls measuring 8.0–8.5 mm. The pearls display bright white bodycolor with clean surface quality, strong luster, and round shapes consistent with fine akoya selection. Their size and proportion give the pair a refined, classic presence.

Crafted in 18K white gold, each pearl is suspended beneath a short diamond-set element, with four diamonds totaling 0.49 carats. The diamonds add crisp brilliance and structure while keeping the focus on the pearls. The compact drop design provides subtle movement and balanced wearability.

A classic Assael pairing of carefully selected akoya with restrained diamond accents.

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

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.

Great service. I ordered the wrong size and received a replacement before I returned the item. Thank you.

It is a measure of character what we do when we err. This company failed to make a deadline and made it right with a personal call and some compensation. Both od which showed a character of the company. I will not hesitate to deal with them again. Robert Jones

I was somewhat hesitant to make this type of purchase, sight unseen, online and for something of which my knowledge is limited to put it mildly. Good communication, quick processing and delivery, from observation they seem to me to have the quality vs. investment I expected. And my wife was delighted. So, which box wasn't checked? Thanks
