 |  | Classic Akoya PearlSince the 1900’s Akoya pearls have been cultured primarily in the cold to temperate saltwaters of Japan. Due to its location north of the equator, the water temperature around Japan is ideal for developing high quality, cultured Akoya pearls. This optimum temperature allows the pearl to develop highly uniform mineral crystals, resulting in a brilliant luster. China has become the second largest producer of Akoya Pearls. Akoya pearls are ideal for those who desire traditional and classic looking pearls. Symbols of love and status, the ancient orientals viewed akoya pearls as valuable as gold, which meant for generations wearing a necklace like this was considered a symbol of wealth. Akoya Pearls are like the little black dress that belongs in every womans wardrobe, they are always elegant and appropriate.
