A Guide to Pearl Jewelry

You have heard that diamonds are a girl’s best friends, however, a diamond has nowhere near the elegance and versatility that pearls have. Pearls are one of the oldest and most well-known gem stones. Findings of pearls and the use of pearl powder, dates back thousands of year to many ancient civilizations, such as the Mayans, Egyptians, and Chinese.

If these trinkets were held in such high regard then, one can truly see the beauty and value placed on them now. Pearls appeal to every woman, and offer look to each. People with darker skin tones might like a gold, or white pearl that pops against the skin, whereas someone with a paler complexion might prefer a dark Tahitian pearl. The magnificent characteristic about pearls is that on every skin tone, a different hue will be ignited, like a lustrous fire dancing on the pearls surface. As pearls differ from shape, to size, to color, to type, the possibilities with pearl jewelry design become endless.

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.

To chose a high quality of Akoya pearl, pearl experts look for pearls with a very great luster, and a flawless surface quality. At Aloha Pearls, our Akoya strands have exactly these characteristics. Each strand is strung on 100% silk thread, which provides as strong base, and the thread is knotted between each pearl, to ensure that your pearls are not lost, should your strand happen to break.
