Akoya Pearl Characteristics:
Size/Diameter
Akoya pearls are generally smaller, with a typical diameter ranging from 6-9mm. Larger sizes are usually more valuable.
Color
Common Akoya pearl colors include white, cream, and silver, with white being the most prevalent. Pink, yellow, and green tones are also occasionally seen in Akoya pearls. Among these, pink tones are the most highly prized.
Luster
Luster is the soul of pearls, and Akoya pearls are often called “Little Lanterns of the Sea.” High-quality Akoya pearls exhibit a bright and reflective luster, even in dim lighting. When selecting pearls, look for ones with a mirror-like surface and a sharp, bright luster.
Nacre Thickness
Market-standard Akoya pearls have a nacre thickness requirement. Authentic Akoya pearls generally have a nacre thickness of at least 0.4mm.
Surface Quality
Due to the nature of Akoya pearls’ origin and cultivation environment, they often have tiny blemishes or minor surface marks. While flawless Akoya pearls are very rare and expensive, most consumers accept pearls with minimal imperfections as long as they don’t detract from the overall beauty and value of the pearls.
Pearl Care Tips:
- Avoid exposure to perfumes, lotions and other chemicals.
- Remove before bathing, swimming and exercising
- Do not wear while sleeping
- Do not contact hard objects for a long time and place them separately from other jewelry to avoid scratches.
- Be worn at least once every few months or stored with open air to keep the pearls from naturally yellowing.
