Akoya Saltwater Pearls from Japan and China are known world wide for their beauty and consistency of size and shape. Akoya Pearls are Cultured Pearls, and come from Akoya Oysters, which are grown in protective cages in the sea. The Oysters are regularly monitored to ensure that their environment is maximized, creating the perfect Akoya Pearl.
All measurements are done by the width of the bead. Our pearls are all strung on temporary strands and should be re-strung to ensure security while wearing. Please see our selection of Carded Bead Cords to find a color cord right for your selection of pearls.
