The History of Akoya Pearls

Akoya pearls have a fascinating history that dates back to the early 20th century. They were first successfully cultured by Japanese businessman Kokichi Mikimoto, often called the “Father of Cultured Pearls.”Mikimoto successfully created his first pearl in 1893 by seeding a small piece of Mother of pearl into an Akoya oyster. However, it took him another twelve years to perfect his pearls' shape. In 1899, Mikimoto opened his first boutique in Ginza, Tokyo's most luxurious district. And exceptional quality. Today, Akoya pearls are celebrated worldwide for their elegance and exceptional quality.

What Makes Akoya Pearls Unique?

Akoya pearls come from the Akoya oyster, mainly found in Japan and China. These pearls are famous for their bright, shiny luster that reflects light and objects with intensity and detail. The luster is also known as “ball-bearing” luster because the sharpness of its luster is reminiscent of a highly polished ball bearing.

Care for Akoya Pearls

Proper care ensures your Akoya pearls remain beautiful for years to come.

Avoid Chemicals: Keep pearls away from perfumes, hairsprays, household cleaners, and other chemicals that can damage their surface and luster. 
Clean gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe away oils and residue after wearing. You can also use a mild detergent. 
Store Safely: Store pearls in a soft, non-abrasive pouch or cloth, separate from other jewelry. Keep them in a cool place without extreme conditions. 
Wear Regularly: Pearls love contact with the skin, which gives them the lubrication and grease they need to keep them shining.
