This elegant yet simple bracelet is composed of perfectly round Japanese akoya pearls. The pearls measure 7.0-7.5 mm, which is the most popular size we offer. The pearls are individually knotted on twin silk so they never rub or scratch, and the bracelet is finished with a solid gold clasp with a safety catch. Your pearls will always be secure. Akoya pearls are known for their perfect round shape and unmistakable luster unique to pearls grown in the cold coastal waters of Japan. The finest pearls from this region are known for their mirror-like luster and smooth surfaces – qualities you will clearly see the moment you open the box. For decades we have been working with the same family-run farms in Japan. These families understand our rigorous grading standards and select pearls specifically for us. They ensure the pearls we offer fall within the finest range of every grading category. This is something we know you'll appreciate the moment you open the box.
