Understand Classic Pearls
If you are fortunate enough to examine many high -end, fine pearl necklaces, you probably have seen some of the highest quality akoya pearls in the industry. For those who do not know what these are, akoya pearls are bead-nucleated pearls produced particularly in Asian countries like Japan, China, Vietnam, and South Korea. Akoya pearls have also been produced in Australia, but countries like Japan and China take the leading roles in its production.To cultivate these pearls you begin with the akoya oyster. The official name of this oyster is the Pinctada fucata martensii. These are found and farmed in Japan and China and are known for their shine, luster, and great quality. Also known as the classic pearl, the akoya pearls are generally white with overtones of rose, silver, or cream.
Among all of the cultured pearls being cultivated and sold in the market, it is the akoya pearl that is preferred, sometimes considered the perfect pearl, for jewelry.The two main reasons are as follows
1) The akoya pearl is the smallest to be produced, with its size ranging from about 2 to 11 millimeters.
2) The akoya pearl tends to be consistently round or near-round, making them the ideal pearl to be used in jewelry such as bracelets and necklaces.
As mentioned before, the two leading countries in the akoya pearl industry are Japan and China. Japan was at first the major producer of akoya pearls in the world until China overtook her, the latter beginning its cultivation in the 1960s.Later, in the late 1980s, China started to dominate the world market by becoming the top producer of cultured akoya pearls in the world. And because of the increasing competition, Japan pearl farmers have begun concentrating in cultivating actual large akoya pearls since high quality akoya pearls that are sized over 8 mm are very rare in China.
When choosing pearls, consider the size, luster, shape, smothness and type.
