A brand new offering by PurePearls.com, the Untreated, Natural Color Japanese Hanadama Akoya Pearls feature some of the most brilliant, luminous Akoya luster we've ever seen.
Natural Color Hanadama Akoya pearls are simply washed and polished, and skip the traditional after harvest processing treatments such as bleaching and pinking, altogether. The pearls are quite lovely, with a pronounced Orient iridescent "soap bubble" effect, and a very cool-hued Silver Overtone range. Graduating from 8.0-8.5mm, this 18-inch necklaceĀ is the embodiment of luxury and glamour.
Each Hanadama Collection necklace arrives with it's own numbered Pearl Science Laboratory certificate from Tokyo, Japan, detailing the necklace's surface quality, nacre thickness and x-ray results. The necklace will be individually double-knotted on matching white silk and finished with a 14K Gold clasp of your choice. Each pearl purchase comes nestled in our Signature Little Black Gift Box and is accompanied with a GIA Graduate Prepared Retail Appraisal and Pearl Care Instructions.
