Japanese Akoya Cultured Pearl 8.5mm X 9.0mm Necklace & 8.8mm Earrings with Hanadama Certificate by Pearl Science Laboratory in Japan.
This certificate is named Aurora Ten-nyo (天女) (Tennyo means Heavenly Nymph), and the criteria are more strict than normal Hanadama.
You can see the word at the top right of the certificate.
Especially inspected strictly in Luster. To get Tennyo, at least 3 colors of iridescent color.

We don't try to explain about the quality to avoid any troubles by a difference of view but only say "Tennyo" because AAA-A grading system's criterion evaluation may vary according to each company or country.
Look at the photos. All the photos are of the actual pearls for sale.

And for your information, these pearls are "1-B Grade" at raw material pearl auction by pearl fermer's union in Japan.
(1-A, 1-B, 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, 3, 4, 5)
*The appearance ratio of 1-A is around 3% of the total crop and basically those are not for necklace, but for collection or fine jewelries.

Hanadama (including Tennyo) evaluation is to inspect if the pearls exceed the borderline of Hanadama or not.
In other words, the group above the line also divided into many grades. That is why there are many Hanadama products in various prices.
