Hanadama pearls are popular among the people as they are of good shape, color and size and also can be used to make necklaces, earrings and bracelets as well. People should be aware of the Nacre of a pearl before buying it. Nacre is the coating produced by a pearl oyster, which covers the pearl's nucleus and experts feel that its better to have thicker pearls with thickness of over 0.4mm. The Hanadama pearls totally fulfill these criteria as they have nacre of 0.4mm and their natural nacre production is 0.6mm. These pearls are also known as flower pearls and considered as very high quality pearls which make them one of the most sought after variety.
Factors that determine this pearl quality are luster, nacre thickness, color, overtones, roundness, and freedom from surface imperfections. This is true regardless of size, though size is a major factor in the rarity, and therefore, value of any pearl. Hanadama pearls are generally very similar to Akoya pearl . There is only a two percent difference between these two pearls. These pearls are evaluated and certified by the Pearl Science Laboratory in Tokyo , and should be accompanied with an identifying certificate.
These Pearls come in limited supplies, not only because the pearls themselves are so rare, but also because in order to create a strand, many pearls have to be matched for size, lusture, color, and nacre thickness. While there are branded names of pearls, as well as highly regarded jewelers that market high quality Hanadama pearls but it is rare to find quality pearls of this brand in most retail outlets due to their scarcity. These pearls are high in quality than Akoyas. As a result, Hanadama pearls are more precious over similarly sized, lesser quality pearls. The hanadama pearl is generally a type of Akoya Pearls. The hanadama Pearls are certified by Japanese science laboratory of pearls. So there is no doubt about the quality of these pearls because certification is only provided if they fullfill all the quality factors. In Science laboratory of Japan the Hanadama Pearls are tested by means of X-ray testing. It is generally done to determine the nacre thickness. If the Pearl meets the standard thickness it is certified otherwise it will be rejected. But this is not the only method available to test the quality of Hanadama Pearls. The other method can also be used which is known as fibre optical method.
Hanadama Pearls are better in quality than Hanadama Pearls and thus are more popular among people who are fond of Pearl jewelry.
