Small, White & Superior Luster

Cultured by the Smallest Pearl Oyster

Fabled Japanese Origin

• Classic White & High Luster – Akoya pearls are famous for their bright, mirror-like shine and near-perfect roundness. They typically come in white or cream with subtle pink or silver overtones, making them a timeless choice for jewelry.
  
  
• Cultured by the Smallest Pearl Oyster – Produced by the Pinctada fucata martensii oyster (only 6–8 cm in size), Akoya pearls are smaller (usually 5–9mm) but have unmatched luster due to their precise cultivation process, pioneered by Kokichi Mikimoto in the early 1900s.
  
  
• Mainly from Japan & China – The best-quality Akoya pearls come from Japan’s cool, nutrient-rich waters, while China also produces them in larger quantities. Japanese Akoya pearls are especially prized for their superior shine and minimal imperfections.
