Akoya grading

What AAA means on this strand

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.

Pearls tell a story, and now you can make that story your own. This personalized necklace lets you commemorate a special date, a name, or meaningful initials on a beautifully understated square clasp, turning a classic pearl strand into a lasting keepsake.

The necklace is strung with round, highly lustrous 7.5-8.0 mm Japanese akoya pearls, AAA grade for luster and surface. Each pearl is hand-selected and individually knotted on twin silk in our Los Angeles studio. The strand is finished with a custom square-shaped solid 14 karat gold clasp designed for laser engraving, complete with a built-in safety catch for secure wear.

Offered in 16- and 18-inch lengths, each necklace is made to order, and we're happy to create a custom length upon request.

Because each personalized piece is custom-made, it is not eligible for return.

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.
