The word 'Khilana' has many meanings: "to bloom", "to make someone happy", and "playful" in Hind ... it's a fitting name for these Japanese Akoya pearl earrings. 14kt gold arches form a graceful, petal-like frame to display two beautifully lustrous saltwater Akoya pearls in their centers measuring your choice of 7.5-8.0mm or 8.0-8.5mm in size. Choose your preferred pearl quality: our AA+ quality Akoya pearls display bright, reflective luster, perfectly round shapes and excellent matching for every pair of pearl earrings, while our AAA quality upgrade will feature sharper, more reflective luster and even cleaner surfaces. Elegantly mounted on your favorite gold color, solid 14kt white or yellow.

When it comes to Akoya pearls, Japan is considered the "Gold Standard" for cultivating gems with exceptional quality and luster. Japan's pearl growing regions along the coast, particularly the Mie and Ehime prefectures (called the "Cradle of Pearls") are fed by the cold waters of the Pacific. These cooler temperatures help support the development of fine, tightly compacted nacre that give Akoya pearls their brilliant, mirror-like shine. We work directly with experienced Japanese pearl farmers who have been growing cultured Akoya pearls for generations, and that share our commitment to quality, and who select pearls for their outstanding luster, beauty and durability.
