Perhaps you’ve heard the term “akoya pearls,” or heard about someone whose husband got them an akoya pearl necklace for their anniversary. If you’ve ever wondered about akoya pearls, or wondered about their use in pearl jewelry, here’s a closer look at them. We think you’ll soon realize why Akoya pearls are so desirable.
Akoya pearls are produced from the oyster known as Pinctada fucata martensii, which is the smallest pearl producer known in the oyster family. These pearls are known for their pristine round shapes, which make them an ideal and popular choice for necklaces and matching earrings. However, aside from being consistently round, they can also have a semi-round, baroque and semi-baroqe shape.
Although also produced in China, they previously were considered the Japanese pearl, and were cultured primarily in Ehime, Mie, Oita, Nagasaki and Kumamoto prefectures.
The water temperature of the ocean where they grow is considerably low, and fluctuates with the coming of each new season. Akoya pearls develop a unique luster and color, which is caused by the compacting of the aragonite crystals which form in the water during seasonal change. The ideal Akoya pearl is one that has the perfect amount of crystals as well as nacre, and is considered to be the most lustrous and beautiful of all pearls.
For it’s luster and beauty, the akoya pearl is used in a lot of pearl jewelry sets, as well as akoya pearl necklaces. An akoya pearl jewelry set makes the perfect Christmas, birthday, or anniversary gift.
