I purchased two 8.5-9.0 mm Hanadama Akoya pearl earrings as gifts. They arrived promptly are beautifully packaged and came with certificate of authenticity. I also purchased them with 14kt screw-on backs. The pearls are 8.5 and 8.6 in size. (Not 9.0) and very well matched. They are both stunning with high luster mirror-like finish. While I am pleased with them I don’t care for the screw-back on posts. They are long and very thin so it’s difficult to get the threads to align. I wish they were slightly thicker in diameter and shorter so that they would be easier to use. Otherwise, I am pleased with the gorgeous pearl quality. I would definitely purchase again knowing that the quality is superior.
