The wide popularity of pearls in America grew from the first availability of akoya pearls in the 1920s. The specialty of Japanese pearl farms, akoya cultured pearls are cultivated from the pinctada fucata oyster. Because the majority of an akoya crop turns out round or near-round, strands are one of its most popular jewelry items. The standard today is a 16-inch necklace, perfect in shape and even in color, size, luster and clarity. See our selection of Akoya pearl jewelry.
