Akoya grading

What Hanadama 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.
  • 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

Pearls are always personal, and nothing makes them more so than personalization. This is your chance to include a memory or a thought on an heirloom piece of jewelry. Something that will always be there – you can custom design your pearls with your initials, those of a loved one, or commemorate a special date.

Perfectly round and highly lustrous 7.5-8.0 mm Japanese Akoya certified Hanadama pearls are used to create this elegant 18 inch necklace. The pearls are individually knotted on silk thread and the strand is finished with a solid, 14-karat gold clasp ready for engraving. The clasp comes with an added safety catch so you will never lose your pearls.

Each personalized item is custom-made and therefore not eligible to be returned. Prior to engraving, we will send you photos of the exact pearls selected and a digital image of the clasp to see exactly what your finished laser-engraved piece will look like. Once approved, the engraving process typically takes about a week, so this item will not ship immediately upon purchase.

Please be sure to add your engraving details in the Comments and Special Shipping Instructions field on the shopping cart page before checkout.

Before you decide

We can show you the pearls first

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

We knot to order, so you may see the pearls before they have been strung and clasped.

What you will see

Photographs of the exact strand we would use for your necklace.

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.
