Akoya Cultured Pearl 5.5-6.0mm Necklace, 18"

Akoya cultured pearls are a popular and traditional choice for pearl strands. These are high-quality gems, known for their smoothness, near-round shape, and deep, beautiful luster. The luster, or shine of the pearl, is the result of the multiple layers of nacre that build up slowly over many months of careful cultivation inside the mollusk. The Japanese Akoya Saltwater pearls in this necklace measure between 5.5 and 6mm, with a fine white-rose color with excellent luster and few, if any, visible blemishes. A classic strand of pearls is a timeless gift, a reflection of beauty, purity, and good taste. It is also one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry a woman can own, as it looks sophisticated with professional wear, elegant with evening wear, or simple with everyday wear.
