This glamorous Japanese Akoya pearl necklace is the treasure she's been longing for. The mirror-sharp luster of these magnificent and rare pearls is attributed to the cold waters off the coast of Japan. The large, 7.5-8.0mm pearls are hand selected for their thick nacre, perfect round shapes, clean surfaces and sparkling overtones. Select AA+ Quality or upgrade to AAA Akoya pearls for even sharper luster and nearly flawless surfaces.
Each necklace is made by hand, to order, here at our Los Angeles, CA workshop. We use only the finest cultured Akoya pearls, matching silk and 14K Gold; each pearl necklace is individually double-knotted In House - choose your preferred necklace length from the 16-Inch Choker to longer 35-Inch Opera Length strands. Finish your necklace with a high-polish Ball Clasp, or upgrade to our popular Tiffany "X" design. Your new Japanese Akoya Pearl Necklace comes nestled in our Signature Little Black Gift Box and is accompanied with a GIA Graduate Prepared Retail Appraisal and Pearl Care Instructions.
