AKOYA PEARLS
Akoya pearls were the first round shaped pearls to be cultured and marketed early in the 20th century, making pearl jewelry affordable for a wider audience.
Akoya pearls are considered the classic pearls used for necklaces and other pearl jewelry thanks to their perfect round shapes, metallic shine and neutral colors.
Akoya pearls are cultured from the Akoya oyster. They are saltwater pearls that are farmed mainly in Japan and China but can be also found in Vietnam.
Most Akoya’s have a white and cream color with a hint of rose (pink) and green. Size ranges from 2-10 mm with a typical size of 6-7 mm.
