Akoya Cultured 6–6.5mm Round Pearl, White, A-Grade

This A-grade white Akoya cultured round pearl features a smooth finish and a creamy white color that is ideal for high-end jewelry designs made with silver, palladium or gold findings. The bright white finish and classic shape make the pearls a great choice for earrings, bracelet and pendants, either used individually or combined with other colors of pearls and gemstones. Cultured in salt water, primarily in the seas off the coasts of Japan and China, Akoya pearls are cultured from akoya pearl oysters (Pinctada fucata martensii). Akoya pearls are known for their deep luster and are considered to be the ‘classic’ pearl. According to one legend, the pearl was formed from the tears of the goddess of love. For many, pearls are a symbol of pure heart and mind, of innocence, faith and prosperity. A-grade pearls feature surfaces that show a few insignificant blemishes. Their luster is good, exhibiting some depth.
