Hanadama Pearls are extremely fine gems certified by the Pearl Science Laboratory (PSL) of Japan. They are world-renowned because of their outstanding lustre and orient.
The History of Hanadama Pearls
Hanadama Pearls were named by Kokichi Mikimoto, also known as the Father of Cultured Pearls. He used the term to describe only the finest of the gems. The word “Hanadama” means ‘spherical flower’ in Japanese. Many pearl experts often refer to these gorgeous gems of the sea as Flower Pearls. Today, the only gems that qualify to carry the name Hanadama Pearls are those certified by PSL, which rigorously tests the gems for the following:
Pearl Luster – Must be very strong
Pearl Surface – Must be almost flawless
Nacre Thickness – No less than .8 millimetres in total
Aurora/Orient – Surface features soap bubble rainbow-life effects
The Luster of Hanadama Pearls
Cultured Hanadama Pearls feature the highest lustre of all cultured pearls on the market. They are so bright in lustre; you’ll draw attention from the other side of a crowded room. Reflections of light bounce off the surface with very crisp sharpness. Being almost flawless, these gems have almost no blurring, staining, or other blemishes around the edges. Take a step back and enjoy your beautiful reflection smiling at you from the amazingly lustrous gemstones.
The Nacre of Hanadama Pearls
The Orient of cultured Hanadama Pearls is described as a shimmering soap bubble effect. Their nacre is very thick, making these gems iridescent, resilient, and strong. If you’re looking for gemstones that will last a lifetime, Hanadama Pearls are the ultimate winners. And, because they come with certificates of authenticity from PSL, they make the perfect family heirloom to pass down from generation to generation.
Hanadama Pearls – A Unique Class of Superior Pearls
A Hanadama pearl designation is much more than just a simple pearl grade. Instead, it’s more of a class of pearls guaranteed to be real, lustrous, almost flawless, and very valuable. Owning jewellery made with the Flower Pearls means owning some of the finest quality pearl jewellery money can buy. Plus, the Japan Pearl Science Laboratory certifies the gemstones to prove this fact.
