Akoya pearls are cultured pearls from Japan. Since the 1930s they’ve probably been the world’s most popular pearl. Akoya sea pearls are available in a variety of colors and sizes usually ranging from 5 to 9mm. The pearls have a high luster and are a favorite for all types of pearl jewelry.
Akoya real pearl jewelry has elegance and a dreamy luster one would expect of the world’s most expensive pearls, but it comes at an affordable price. Whether you are shopping for a gift or want an Akoya pearl necklace, earrings, or an Akoya pearl bracelet for yourself, you will find many alluring Akoya pearl options to tempt you. You will have much joy and use out of your Akoya pearls; they are beautiful enough to go with bridal wear or dress up an outfit for a formal occasion, but also suitable for casual days and you can layer your pearls with other jewelry.
Akoya pearl oysters are the smallest type of commercially farmed oyster, and unlike freshwater pearls, they seldom produce multiple pearls per harvest. A tiny mother of pearl bead is inserted into each oyster, and a pearl grows around it. For this reason, Akoya pearls are often perfectly round. Top-quality Akoya pearls have a mirror-like luster and are available in a variety of subtle neutral colors and overtones. When you shop for Akoya pearls online, you can select from pure white to ivory, rose and peach overtones. Color-treated black Akoya pearls are also sought-after.
These days, nearly all pearls for sale are cultured pearls. There’s a difference between pearls from freshwater sources and seawater pearls, with pearls grown in seawater more expensive and rarer. Of the various types of seawater pearls, Akoya cultured pearls offer affordability while the sea stones have a high luster, thick nacre, and the beautiful colors you would expect from the best pearls money can buy.
