Akoya grading

What Select Gem 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.
  • 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 ring
Gem-quality akoya pearl · 18K white gold · 22 diamonds (0.25 ctw) · ring size 6.75

This ring centers on a single gem-quality akoya pearl measuring 8.0–8.5 mm. The pearl displays bright white bodycolor, smooth surface quality, and strong, mirror-like luster, hallmarks of fine akoya pearl production.

The pearl is set in 18K white gold and accented by twenty-two round diamonds totaling 0.25 carats. The diamond-set shoulders add refined brilliance and structure while keeping the focus on the pearl itself. The clean proportions and classic mounting give the ring a balanced, timeless presence.

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

Natural color, guaranteed

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

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.

I ordered a string of pearls, and to my disappointment, they were too short. No problem. Paradise Pearls was wonderful, exchanged my string and I ordered a longer string. I am SO very pleased with them and love wearing them.

June H. · Verified buyer

Loved the human contact when I asked for photos, shipping was delivered on time and the pearl necklace is gorgeous. Definitely buying more from pearl paradise.

Melissa M. · Verified buyer

When I called to ask questions, customer service was so helpful. They answered all my questions and reassured me that I was buying high quality pearls.
