The most classic of pearls on the market is unquestionably the Akoya pearl. This is the oldest pearl to be cultured in modern times and is still very popular among pearl lovers worldwide. Large sizes always go for a premium but medium sizes are more popular and affordable to most consumers of these pearls.
Akoya pearl earrings are usually set in 14k or 18k yellow gold in studs or in a simple dangling style. Sometimes akoya pearls are mixed in with freshwater pearls to give a little more color to the pearl jewelry. Most of the popular sizes are six or seven millimeter round shape for the akoya earrings. Anything over eight millimeter starts to become very expensive as this size is mostly cultivated in Japan and is quite rare and pricey. There are even nine millimeter pearls on the market but these are extremely expensive and are usually not seen in jewelry stores.
