Description
Elevate your fine jewelry collection with this exquisite Japanese Akoya pearl lariat necklace—a breathtaking masterwork of understated luxury. Sourced from the pristine, cold-water bays of Japan, authentic Akoya pearls are coveted globally for achieving the brightest, most mirror-like luster and perfectly round silhouettes found in nature.
This premium 20-inch adjustable lariat showcases a flawlessly matched strand of 10–10.2mm cultured pearls—an extraordinarily rare, large size class for the Akoya variety. The strand is perfectly finished with a heavy 14K yellow gold signature clasp set with brilliant, sparkling diamonds.
Rare Saltwater Cultured Pearl Characteristics
- Exceptional Mirror Luster: Japanese Akoya saltwater pearls deliver a highly reflective, sharp surface brilliance accented by soft natural pink overtones.
- Rare 10mm–10.2mm Statement Scale: While standard Akoyas range between 6mm to 9mm, this investment-grade strand features a magnificent statement size.
- Brilliant Diamond Clasp Accents: A solid 14K yellow gold closure encrusted with precision-set genuine diamonds adds a striking, brilliant finish.
Versatile Lariat Styling & Silhouette Options
Designed with an innovative adjustable luxury clasp, this 20-inch strand offers multiple styling profiles. Wear it traditionally as a classic drop necklace, looped closely for an elegant layered appearance, or styled dramatically over a low-cut gown.
This timeless heirloom piece is equally at home dominating a formal black-tie gala, accenting bridal jewelry attire, or elevating a premium everyday look. Each piece arrives secure in a signature Holly Zhang Pearl Gallery gift box.

Frequently asked questions
Is my piece ready to ship or made to order?
Each product page says which. A piece marked “In stock, ready to ship” is on our shelf and leaves the gallery within 1 to 3 business days. A piece marked “Made to order” is chosen and strung for you once you order and ships in 3 to 4 weeks. Bespoke designs from a custom consultation follow their own timeline, typically 4 to 6 weeks.
How long will my order take to process and arrive?
Pieces in stock are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order pieces ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Standard domestic shipping takes 5 to 7 business days following dispatch. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.
Do your pearl items come with a certificate?
A certificate is not included in the price. For pearl pieces you can add one, issued by an independent gemological laboratory, for $110. It documents the type, size, color, luster and surface of the pearls in your piece. Tick “Add a lab certificate” on the product page, or ask when you order. Pieces without pearls, such as gemstone strands, do not qualify. Our AA+ to AAAA grades are our own; the laboratory report is separate from them.
What is your return and exchange policy?
Unworn pieces in their original packaging can come back for a full refund to your original payment within 14 days of receiving your order, or for full store credit within 30 days. To start a return, contact the gallery or bring the piece to our Bellevue gallery. Custom and altered pieces are final sale.
The full terms are in our refund policy.
How should I clean and care for my pearl jewelry?
Remember the rule: “Pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.” Keep them away from perfume, hairspray, and household chemicals. Wipe them gently with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. Never submerge pearls in ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical dips.
