Hanadama Pearls
The name Hanadama means ‘flower pearl’, and it signifies the cream of an Akoya pearl crop. If you are looking for pearls with exceptional luster, orient, and flawless quality, a strand of Hanadama pearls is for you.
Hanadama Pearls - The Finest You Can Find
If you love Akoya pearls, you will instantly fall in love with Hanadama pearls. The word Hanadama, translated from Japanese, means ‘flower pearl’ and in the case of these exceptional pearls, it’s a true description. When you wear Hanadama pearls, you know that they’re the finest pearls around and are truly unique in their beauty. Because of the excellent quality of Hanadama pearls, they are scarce, and you won’t easily find their equal. It is a good plan to buy a bracelet and earrings in a set with your Hanadama pearl necklace so that your pearls complement one another.
What are Hanadama Pearls?
When Mr Mikimoto’s technique to culture seawater pearls in the early 1900s started yielding the first consistent harvests of round, lustrous cultured Akoya pearls, he hand-selected the pick of the crop and called them ‘Hanadama’.
The tradition of Hanadama pearls continues, but these days, the selection process is even more rigorous. When an Akoya pearl crop is sorted, the best pearls are hand-picked and separated from the rest. These potentially perfect pearls are sent to the Pearl Science Laboratory (PSL) where they undergo tests to confirm their outstanding quality.
How do I Know If My Hanadama Pearls are Real?
Every strand or pair of Hanadama pearls come with a PSL certificate. The certificate gives the result of the tests that were performed on your pearls, and there is a photograph of your specific pearls. Apart from any guarantee your pearl dealer gives you, if you buy Hanadama pearls, they must be accompanied by their PSL certificate.
What Do Hanadama Pearls Look Like?
The most important characteristic of Hanadama pearls is their mirror-like luster and near-perfect roundness. The pearls are so bright that people can’t help but notice when you wear them.
When shopping for Hanadama pearls, the exquisite beauty of the pearls will stun you, but it’s impossible to verify with the naked eye whether the pearls are truly top quality Hanadama pearls or AAA grade Akoya pearls. Hanadama pearls have a PSL certificate to prove it.
The PSL certificate will tell you that your pearls were inspected under a special light and found to have a very strong luster and orient. The pearls have a near-flawless surface with a maximum of one notable inclusion per strand. The certificate also specifies the nacre thickness.
Hanadama Pearls vs Akoya Pearls
In essence Hanadama pearls and Akoya pearls are the same, but there are reasons why you might opt for one type of pearl over the other. If you want to invest in a strand of certified pearls of the highest quality, you won’t be disappointed with Hanadama pearls. Whatever you love about Akoya pearls is amplified in a Hanadama pearl strand. On the other hand, if you want a pearl pendant necklace, a strand of pearls that you can modify or have lengthened, or you want to add more similar pearl jewelry to your collection later, AAA-grade Akoya pearls are a sensible choice.
