This strand is 31" long and consists of Akoya cultured pearls ranging in diameter from 8mm to 7.5mm. The luster is very good, giving it a beautiful, polished look. The blemishes are minor and difficult to see.
Cultured pearls can seem to be a bit confusing. The Process of cultivating pearls was first developed in 1893. Natural pearls are rarely seen on the market today. Cultured pearls are your option when shopping for pearls.
There are two options: freshwater or saltwater Akoya. Today, freshwater cultured pearls are the most popular due to their lower cost. A freshwater pearl can be cultivated in about 3-4 months, whereas saltwater takes 2-3 years. The overall quality between the two is close, with Akoya still slightly better.
We carry a full selection of strands of cultured pearls, earrings, and bracelets. We can also show you the various differences in qualities and how they influence the price of each. We welcome your visit to our showroom in the Riverplace Tower in Jacksonville, FL
