| Choosing Akoya Pearls |
 |
| There are several factors that determine the quality and value of a pearl: luster, nacre thickness, surface texture, color, shape, size and matching. A combination of these characteristics decides the overall quality and value of the pearl. A high quality Akoya pearl possesses a high luster and a flawless surface. The most common color for Akoyas is white with silver or pink overtones. White with silver suites darker skin best, while white with pink flatters the widest variety of skin tones |
