Anyways, since most Akoya pearls have a distinct undertone of green or blue when harvested, the “bleaching and pinking” process was instituted to give the pearls a bright white color, and then replace some of the color-play that was lost in the bleaching process by submerging the pearls in a red/pink solution to give them their trademark “rosé” overtones. These pearls skip all that, and are cultivated specifically for their Sky Blue and Silvery-Blue hues.

This collection is still new, and so fairly limited in sizes – our blue Akoya pearls range from 7.0-7.5mm up to 8.5-9.0mm only at this time. Their nacre is incredibly thick, which gives the pearls a beautiful AAA Quality luster and shine! What I love the most about these pearls is their strong, iridescent overtones that shimmer with shades of Aquamarine, Green, Violet and Rose – just gorgeous, and so eye-catching!
