Striking in both size and character, this 8.0-8.5 mm silver Akoya pearl necklace is a rare expression of natural beauty. With their larger-than-usual size and unmistakable silver hue, these pearls offer a refined statement unlike any other.

These pearls are cultivated in Japan and owe their color to a rare phenomenon—trace protein becomes trapped between the pearl’s nucleus and growing nacre, creating a naturally occurring silver tone. The color is not only permanent, it’s entirely organic—enhanced by soft overtones and subtle iridescence.

Each pearl is perfect round in shape. Matched for balance, color, and luster, these necklaces are available in 16-inch length. Every strand is hand-knotted on twin silk in our studio and finished with a solid silver clasp and safety hook.

At this size, silver Akoya pearls are extraordinarily rare. We only offer them when we are able to collect enough of similar tone and character to create a cohesive, beautifully blended strand. The result is a necklace that is timeless, expressive, and utterly unique.

Whether worn as a signature piece or part of a collection, this necklace reflects the finest traditions of Japanese pearl farming—along with the magic of nature’s unexpected artistry.

Our 7.0-7.5 mm akoya pearl earrings are our most popular size. This size is still conservative, but can be easily worn with or without a necklace as a beautiful accent to any outfit. The Japanese akoya pearls are perfectly round with sharp luster and shimmering overtones.

Presenting one of the finest strands of Akoya pearls available anywhere. This is an 8.0–8.5 mm, Goddess (Tennyo) graded strand of Hanadama Akoya pearls—certified at the highest level by Japan’s Pearl Science Laboratory.

You may already be familiar with Hanadama, a designation reserved for the highest quality Akoya pearls. But among these elite pearls is a category even more exclusive: Tennyo. This rare certification is reserved for strands that exceed even Hanadama standards in every measurable way—luster, surface, nacre thickness, and orient.

The 8.0–8.5 mm size is considered ideal by many pearl connoisseurs—large enough to make an impression, yet timeless and refined. These pearls exhibit mirror-like luster and a soft, luminous glow that only the finest Akoya pearls can achieve.

The strand is hand-knotted on twin silk and finished with a clasp of your choice, measuring approximately 18 inches. It is accompanied by a Pearl Science Laboratory certificate indicating its rare Tennyo Hanadama status.

While we cannot add pearls to lengthen the strand, we can shorten it if you prefer a tighter fit or choker style. Any removed pearls can be returned with your order or used to create a custom matching piece—just let us know how we can help.
