Back to Akoya pearls...  Why we love these and what makes Akoya pearls so valuable? Saltwater pearls, like Akoya, are much harder to produce than cultured pearls. Many factors can effect the production of Akoya pearls like ocean temperatures, predators, and weather. All these factors, and more, make pearl production less predictive and harvesting more difficult resulting in Akoya pearls being more rare and highly valued. Akoya pearls are known for their extremely high luster, thick nacre and super clean surface. The 8 - 8.5mm size of the pearls we use for our Akoya Hair Pins is impressive and pearls in this size make a valuable collection. Both the Akoya and Freshwater pearls we use are certified by our supplier to be AAA quality... meaning they are simply amazing! Solid Sterling Silver Hairpins. Heirloom quality. Comes with a silver polishing cloth.
