Gleaming with mirror-bright beauty and iridescent Orient, a Japanese Hanadama Akoya Pearl Necklace sets the standard when it comes to luxury quality white pearl necklaces. Cultured in Japan, the birthplace of Akoya pearls, Hanadama pearls are set aside during harvest for having the highest luster, cleanest surfaces and thickest crystalline nacre layers. They are then sent to the Pearl Science Laboratory of Tokyo, Japan to be officially certified as “Hanadama”. Each Hanadama Necklace – both our Traditional and Natural Color, Untreated pearls – are guaranteed to be the best of each yearly harvest, at a fraction of the price you would normally pay at Mikimoto’s or Tiffany’s. Discover more about these lustrous pearls by reading the Ultimate Akoya Pearl Buyer’s Guide.
Using the finest certified Hanadama pearls with unrivaled nacre thickness, luxury-quality silk and 14K Gold clasps and mountings, each piece of jewellery is hand-crafted to surpass your expectations here at our Los Angeles, California workshop. Each Hanadama Necklace or pair of certified Hanadama Pearl Earrings arrives secured in our Signature Little Black Gift Box, and is accompanied by a certification from the Pearl Science Lab, a GIA Graduate Prepared Retail Appraisal and Pearl Care Instructions to keep your certified pearls looking gorgeous for a lifetime.
