SELECTED IN JAPAN

Clear quality.
No overstatement.

We compare pearls through specialist suppliers in Japan and look beyond size alone. Luster comes first, followed by surface condition, shape, color, matching and the overall impression of the piece.

Natural surface features are described rather than hidden. Certificates and pearl-layer information are shown when available.
