Veelgestelde vragen
Waarom Akoya-parels so lustrous?
The cold winters in Japan slow nacre deposition, producing tighter, denser nacre layers. This is why Akoya-parels have the highest mirror-glans of any gekweekte parels. Pinctada fucata takes 10-18 months to produce a harvestable parel.
Wat is Hanadama Akoya?
Hanadama is the highest grade of Akoya — only 1-3% of harvest qualifies. Surface 95%+ clean, spiegelglans, near-round to round, uniforme ondertonen. Authentic Hanadama comes with PSL (parel Science Lab) certification from Japan.
Hoe you match parel earring pairs?
Each pair is handgeselecteerd and gematcht on four axes: maat (within 0.25mm), shape (round/near-round/drop gematcht to identical category), color ondertonen (must read identically in indoor and daylight), and glans grade.
