Akoya grading

What Hanadama 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.
  • HanadamaThis piece. Certified 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.
Read the full grading standards

Are you looking for the finest available quality in a classic set of dangle-style pearl earrings? If you're considering this pair of earrings, you most likely are. You will be mesmerized when seeing your reflection while wearing these and you'll never want to take them off.

The pearls are perfectly matched and their size falls within the 7.5-8.0 mm range - a popular size and easy to wear. The dangle settings are composed of solid gold and fit snugly on your ears so they never droop.

There is a quality range within hanadama standards, and these earrings are composed of top-graded hanadama akoya pearls grown in the cold coastal waters of Japan. The finest pearls from this region are known for their mirror-like luster and smooth surfaces.

For decades we have been working with the same family-run farms in Japan. These families understand our rigorous standards and select these special pearls specifically for us. They ensure the pearls are only the top range of the hanadama category.

Once the hanadama pearls are selected, they are imported and graded by our Chief Creative Officer, Hisano. She examines every pearl to ensure the quality is always the same, rejecting any pearls that do not fall within the highest hanadama range. You will recognize her commitment to quality the moment you open the box. These pearls will take your breath away.

Accompanying your earrings is a uniquely numbered and laminated pearl quality report prepared by the Pearl Science Laboratory of Japan, which not describes in detail the beauty and perfection of your new pearls.

The same on everything we sell

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

Made in Los Angeles

Matched and finished by our own team rather than pulled off a shelf, and still out the door within one business day.

Graded to our own standard

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.
