Japanese Akoya Pearls
Akoya pearls are naturally occurring, high-quality pearls primarily cultivated in Japan and China. They are known for their classic round shape and lustrous surface, with a gentle pink or cream overtone. Formed inside small Akoya oysters, these pearls develop when an irritant or bead is intentionally inserted to stimulate pearl production. They typically measure around 6-8 millimeters and are highly valued for their consistent size, shape, and radiant shine. Widely used in fine jewelry, Akoya pearls symbolize elegance and sophistication, making them a popular choice for necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
