Collection Quality pearls have a surface that is UNLBLEMISHED or what we call "clean" as defined by the GIA cultured pearl classification report. In other words, there are no surface markings on the pearls. Hanadama, on the other hand, can have very slight blemishing. In fact, the best grade on a Hanadama certificate is "Imperfection: Very Slightly". AMERICAN PEARL is your source for the thickest NACRE (skin) PEARLS IN THE WORLD. Known as the "Collection Pearls", COLLECTION QUALITY refers to the roundest, cleanest most lustrous Japanese Akoya pearls harvested each year from Japan; even finer than Hanadama. Each pearl is personally chosen by world-renowned pearl dealer, Charlie Bakhash, passing a strict grading standard for luster, roundness, cleanliness, pure white bodycolor and the quintessential "nacre thickness" and the coveted "Rose" hue that makes these paragan of pearls known as the "collection pearls". For over 55 years, everyone in America and Japan knows that CHARLIE sells the finest quality Japanese Akoya pearls available in the world. Period.
