Natural White Akoya

The akoya pearl is known for its perfectly round shape, sharp luster, and brilliant white bodycolor with a hint of rosé. But akoya pearls are rarely ever white. In order to achieve this desired color, they are bleached and then put through a process known as pinking. This is a universal process, and one that every strand of akoya pearls one finds in retail jewelry stores has gone through. The akoya pearls offered here have gone through no bleaching or color-enhancing treatments of any kind. The color and the beauty is completely natural.
