What defines Akoya Pearls?
Akoya cultured pearls are the classic saltwater pearl: typically smaller than Tahitian and South Sea pearls, often round, and known for crisp, mirror-like luster.
Typical size & color
Commonly about 6–9 mm, with larger sizes increasingly uncommon. Most often white to cream, sometimes with rose or silvery overtones.
How to compare them
Bright, sharp luster and a refined scale make Akoya pearls especially suited to classic strands, earrings and polished jewelry designs. Compare luster, surface, shape, color and matching together rather than relying on a grade alone.
Before You Choose
Use the specification, not just the category name.
Pearls within the same family can still differ significantly. For pairs, strands or custom settings, matching and drilling requirements can matter as much as size or grade.
