Akoya pearls are cultivated from salt water mollusks, generally a smaller variety of oyster known as Pinctada fucata martensii. Japan and China are the leading producers of such pearls but nowadays such pearls are cultivated in Korea and Sri Lanka too. If you are planning to buy Japanese Akoya then you must be aware that such items are the highest occurring rounded pearls amongst cultured pearls.They are also relatively shinier and bigger than any other pearl types available in the market, so if you plan to buy one of these then definitely you would get the best value for your money.
The standard size of Akoya pearls is within the range of 3mm-9mm and they are available in a wide range of colors. Even in the dimmest of lights such objects reflect its aura and display interesting color contrasts as they have a minimum of 0.35 nacre thickness, which also attributes to it having the highest luster amongst all pearls. The color of the item is very important in determining the price of the item. The light pink ones are the costliest while dark cream or yellow items fetch 50% lower prices compared to white or pink pearls. Green ones are not much in favor and sometimes there prices can go down by considerable amount. Again, Japanese Akoya pearls are costlier than Chinese Akoya pearls. So you need to ask yourself that what color suits you and your pocket best and then plan to buy yourself that special Akoya piece of jewelry.
Although Akoya pearls are cultured you must understand that they are not fake and in no way less superior in quality compared to natural objects. However, while buying pearls you should be wary of dealers who try to pass of painted glass or plastic pieces as originals and try to dupe you of your money. Synthetic items are not cultured pearls so you must never buy them. While buying any piece of jewelry you can ask the dealer to scrape off the surface a bit to reveal whether the piece is original or fake. If the it is original then no real harm would come out of it except for some powdered debris, whereas if the pearl were to be fake then the scraping would reveal the glass or plastic bead beneath.
Finally, one must be aware that the price of jewelry depends on its variety and Akoya items are available in a wide range of colors and variety to choose from. You first need to fix your budget and then you can search online to select upon the exact piece of jewelry fitted with the pearls that best suits your needs. So get going today and let the beauty of the jewelery endorse you and make you look all the more beautiful.
