6.5-7.0 mm Natural White Hanadama Akoya Pearl Necklace
The pearls in this strand measure 6.5-7.0 mm. Every pearl is individually knotted on twin silk so the pearls never rub or scratch, and the necklace is finished with a solid 14 karat clasp with a safety catch. Although akoya pearls are known to be classically white with a hint of rose, this is a look that is influenced post-harvest. In order to achieve this desired color, they are put through a process known as pinking. This is a universal process that nearly every akoya pearl has gone through. We believe, however, that this treatment is not always necessary! By partnering with producers in Japan, we are able to offer a selection of these rare pearls that are simply unrivaled. The pearls have each been hand-selected from freshly harvested pearls for their naturally white body colors and intense natural luster, with just a hint of rose. The pearls are so beautiful, they have skipped the traditional treatment process. For decades we have been working with the same family-run farms in Jap
