The original pearl is a perfectly spherical shaped object composed of calcium carbonate in slightly crystalline form. Its finest quality have popularized it to be a gemstone for centuries and even the name ‘pearl’ is now used to describe beauty and elegance. In the later stages of likeness for this gemstone, pearl was added to the family of jewelry and once again earned a remarkable fame among the people around the world in the most frequent line of earrings and necklaces. Since the urge to avoid monotonous taste, people preferred different types of pearl jewelry items. Then, it was time for manufacturers to launch something unique and that was no other than Akoya pearl necklace.

Fortunately, Japanese were able to build Akoya pearl farms and culture them in the 1916. Going back to the birth of these pearls, they are cultured by deploying nucleus into the pearl oyster such as
Pinctada fucata martensii, which is maximum 8 cm of size; for this reason Akoya pearls that are larger than 10 mm of diameter are rarely available and on top of that, expensive. For Akoya, Tahitian & South Sea, and Freshwater pearls the harvest is conducted after one year, 2-4 years and 2-7 years respectively.
