What is an Akoya Cultured Pearl?

The Akoya pearl is a cultured pearl produced by a specific species of oyster, called Pinctada fucata martensii, which is mainly cultivated in the waters of Japan, China, and Korea.

These pearls are highly valued for their luster, white or ivory color, round shape, and relatively small size, typically between 2 and 10 mm in diameter. They are often used to create high-quality jewelry such as necklaces, earrings, and pearl bracelets.
