Cultured fresh water akoya perals . Pink 10 mm in pearl size

Akoya cultured pearls come in various shades of white to white-pink. Select the color that looks best with your skin. Again, remember to try the pearls on. Color is a purely personal preference. The pinkish white hues can be very flattering. Also, think about your wardrobe – if you wear a lot of black or black and white combinations, you might prefer a whiter Akoya pearl strand. Pure white strands are rarer and can be difficult to find. Choose a size of Akoya pearl in proportion to your facial features. If you have a petite face with small eyes and nose, you might look best in a smaller millimeter size of Akoya pearls like a graduated strand between 5 to 8mm. If you have an oval face shape and wear longer hair, you may need a larger pearl to command attention – like an 7 or 9mm. Akoya Pearls are also prized for their perfectly round to near-round shapes. Compare various strands side by side to see how perfectly round the pearls are and how much luster they have. Perfectly round pearls have higher value. Also the clasp is sterling silver and this size of pearl necklace will sell over $500 in stores.
