com explain what is Akoya pearls
Akoya pearls are cultured saltwater pearls which are cultivated from the
oyster species Pinctada fucata martensii, primarily in Japan and China.
Renowned for their luster, Akoya pearls are the pearls most often used in
necklaces.
They are generally white or cream colored, and have overtone
colors of rose, yellow, or green.
After the development of modern pearl culturing techniques by Kokichi
Mikimoto in the early part of the 20th century, akoyas from Japan became
the first pearls to be cultured on a large scale.
They continue to be popular
today, although production of Japanese akoyas has declined somewhat in
recent years, due to water pollution and disease.
In recent years the Chinese have overtaken the Japanese in akoya pearl
production.
The Chinese began culturing akoya pearls in the early 90 s,
but had limited
success until
recent years.
For
more than a
decade Chinese
akoya pearls have
been considered
vastly inferior to
this Jap
