Akoya
Akoya pearls are cultured pearls from Japan. Since the 1930s they’ve probably been the world’s most popular pearl. Akoya sea pearls are available in a variety of colors and sizes usually ranging from 5 to 9mm. The pearls have a high luster and are a favorite for all types of pearl jewelry.
A Look at Akoya Pearl Colors and Styles
While most of us are familiar with the classic white appearance that most pearls have, cultured pearls are available in a wide array of hues, including white, ivory, and rose overtones.
Even a ‘white’ pearl is rarely ever pure white—each pearl is usually tinged with shades of rose, silver or ivory, making each one a unique specimen. While white is timeless and elegant, black akoya pearls have a modern and sophisticated flair.
Colors may be mixed and matched in either necklaces or bracelets, or paired with other kinds of pearls, such as Tahitian South Sea or pink freshwater varieties. Laguna Pearl also offers Silver pearl jewelry that combines the sleek appearance of silver with the timeless beauty these pearls possess.
