Akoya grading

What AAA means on this pendant

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.
Read the full grading standards

This Classic Collection white akoya pearl pendant will look charming on you. It’s a simple, conservative design. But beauty doesn’t have to shout to be appreciated. If you love pearl pendants, you’ll appreciate the fact that this pearl is one of the largest sizes for authentic high-quality Japanese akoya pearls.

Akoya pearls are known for their perfect round shape and unmistakable luster unique to 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 – qualities you will clearly see the moment you open the box.

Before you decide

We can show you the pearl first

The pearls are here in our Los Angeles office. Before you buy anything, we will photograph the exact pearl we would use for your pendant and send it to you.

What you will see

Photographs of the actual pearl we would use for your pendant.

We hold the exact pearls we photograph for you for 24 hours while you decide.

We usually reply within one business day, Monday through Friday.

The same on everything we sell

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

We do our own buying

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.

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.

Lovely pendant

"Beautiful pendant, pearl looks great, just the right size for the misses. Necklace made of very fine material which looks great with the pendant. My girlfriend is afraid to wear it, she likes it so much. But jewelery is made to wear, not to stow away in a safe. She’ll get used to it, it looks amazing on her! Very satisfied with the quality of the pendant and necklace!"
