When you think of pearl jewellery, what springs to mind? Chances are it's a shimmering, snow-white single-strand pearl necklace.

You're perhaps reminded of a relative's dazzling heirloom necklace that always captivated you as a child. It's highly likely that necklace was made up of Akoya pearls.

The purity of Akoya pearls, and their status as an affordable luxury, means they are often given as gifts for weddings, anniversaries or milestone birthdays.

Farmed in Japanese ocean waters since the early 20th Century, Akoya was the pearl that started it all.

All Pearl Gallery Akoya pearls are carefully selected for their beauty, consistency, and quality.

Our highest grade, Hanadama, are sent for external certification. There are only 2 laboratories in the world-both in Japan that test and certify Akoya Pearls for Hanadama appellation. All submitted pearls must meet the stringent grading criterion in order to receive the coveted Hanadama grading.

When you're choosing your Akoya pearl necklace or Akoya pearl earrings from our Hanadama collection, you'll know you're receiving fine jewellery that will be forever cherished.
