As bright and lustrous as a full moon, Hanadama Akoya pearls are the very finest Akoya pearls available in the world today. Famous for their delicate rose tones, "Flower Pearls" were named after the fabled Japanese cherry blossoms that would shower Tokyo in the Spring. Our luxurious 8.5-9.0mm pearl size has a beautiful, elegant presence without being overwhelming, and is a PurePearls.com favorite.
Featuring the thickest nacre of any Akoya pearl in the world, our hand-matched Hanadama Pearl Necklace and Earring Jewelry Sets feature an 18-Inch necklace and classic pearl stud earrings to match, hand-made to order here at our Los Angeles CA workshop.
Each Hanadama Collection Necklace and Earring Set arrives with its own numbered Pearl Science Laboratory certificates from Tokyo, Japan, detailing the pearls' surface quality, nacre thickness and x-ray results. Each necklace is double-knotted by hand on white silk, and is finished with a 14K Gold Clasp of your choice; earrings are mounted on solid 14K Gold posts and backs. Your new Hanadama Jewelry Set arrives secured in a fine Jewelry Presentation Box for you to keep and is accompanied by a GIA Graduate Prepared Retail Appraisal and Pearl Care Instructions.
