7-8mm AA Quality Japanese Akoya Cultured Pearl Pendant in Johana Black

The Johana pendant offers a vision of modern sophistication, centered on a single Japanese Akoya pearl. Its dramatic black color creates a beautiful and confident contrast against the cool gleam of 14K white gold. Sized at a versatile 7.0-8.0mm, the pearl is held within an elongated setting gracefully designed to guide the eye toward the gem’s inherent beauty. This thoughtful balance makes it a refined choice for both everyday wear and more formal occasions.

This particular Japanese Akoya pearl was selected for its overall AA-grade quality, a testament to its fine attributes. It exhibits a brilliant AAA-grade lustre, giving the surface a bright, sharp reflection. This luminous quality is enhanced by an exceptionally thick AAAA-grade nacre, which ensures both a deep, lasting glow and remarkable durability. The pearl’s AA-grade body is exceptionally clean and smooth, while its shape is very nearly a perfect sphere. The pendant is presented on a complementary 17.5-inch box chain, also crafted from 14K white gold, for a complete and polished look.

  “Lovely black Japanese Akoya pearl with a slight green sheen to it. The setting is unusual in that if you look at it side-on it has an industrial look. As though you're looking at a beautiful steel girder. Very pretty and I love it!”
