Japanese Akoya Saltwater Pearls
The Japanese Akoya Pearl is known as the classic white pearl. They are famous for their perfectly round shape and high mirror-liked luster, thanks to the special climate and seawater tempreture in Japan, giving the pearls sharp luster and shine which set them apart from the rest of the world.
The cultivation of Akoya pearls involves a meticulous process, with each pearl taking approximately two years to form within the Akoya oyster. This extended cultivation period contributes to the rarity and enhanced value of Akoya pearls compared to freshwater pearls.
Tahitian Pearls
The Tahitian Pearl, commonly referred to as the black pearl, stands out as one of the most coveted types of pearls, cultivated by the black-lipped oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, in the southern regions of the Pacific Ocean. Naturally occurring in an array of colors, from black to silver, Tahitian pearls are highly prized. The most sought-after Tahitian pearls showcase deep hues and intense overtones, such as peacock or cherry, enhancing their intrinsic value.
