Buy Akoya pearl necklace in many Colors

Akoya pearls are considered some of the highest quality of pearls in the world because of their perfect round shape. These pearls were initially grown in Japan by famous Mikimoto, who experimented with the optimal environment to grow these outstanding pearls, but are now grown in places such as Vietnanam.

The way for farmers to insure their Akoya pearls turn out round, is because of the way the mollusks are nucleated. The process for nucleating these pearls is different than any other type of pearl, because a round bead is placed inside the mollusk, whichis used as the irritant that the oyster coats to make the pearl. Though these pearls come out of the mollusk as a very saturated white color, they are very commonly made different colors by a very complex process., this is why Akoya pearls are also referred to as black pearls.
