pearl strands and pearl beads



Each pearl that makes up a pearl necklace has to be hand-knotted and stringed together carefully and properly. There are a lot of types of pearls like akoya pearls, freshwater pearls, South sea pearls or Tahitian pearls. These are all cultured pearls and they all have different prices based on their size, quality and color. And so, you would need to choose the most suitable pearl size, color, shape and quality for you.

Pearl is commonly used to embellish fine pearl jewelry, which are created using different kinds of metals, gems and stones. A lot of designers create their own pieces of art with pearls to design pearl jewelry and oftentimes, they are successful in capturing the beauty and elegance of pieces, which has fine pearl appeal. Fine pearl jewelry is one of the best gifts you could give to yourself or to our loved ones. Just remember that if you do buy or receive some pearl jewelry, you would have to give them extra special care.

Akoya Pearl necklace is best known for its high luster and color brilliance. Akoya Pearls are commonly known as cultured saltwater pearls. Akoya pearls are the classic cultured pearls of Japan. In early nineteenth century, a Japanese man named Kokichi Mikimoto introduced to this world his bead-nucleating technique of culturing pearls in seawater - oyster's naturally occurring process of forming the pearl with human help thereby stimulating the process by producing the initial irritant or nucleus. Akoya oysters are small mollusks, so the pearls they produce range from sizes 3mm to 9mm. The oyster secretes nacre to cover the bead with layer upon layer of nacre. Thicker the nacre better is the quality. Akoya pearls are produced by Pinctada fucata oyster type.

In recent years China has come up with equally high quality akoya pearls. Every harvesting season, pearl farms growing akoya pearls often find small to medium size pearls of varying quality and it takes lot of efforts to choose the best quality pearls. The pearls are hand sorted, processed, and strung into hanks. Akoya pearl necklace made with quality pearls typically command higher values than freshwater pearl jewelry but comparatively cheaper than Tahitian and south seawater pearls.
