This is a classic 41cm pearl necklace strung with natural color Tennyo Akoya pearls. It features a cool, blue-pink iridescence, reminiscent of the shimmering surface of a lake bathed in dawn light. Among them: • 8–9mm Slightly Baroque Pearls: These feature subtle natural undulations on the surface, enhancing their organic feel. They boast a strong luster, suitable for both daily wear and formal occasions, offering a blend of design and presence. • 6–7mm and 7–8mm Near-Round Pearls: The smaller sizes exude elegance and refinement, making them highly versatile. They are perfect for layering, wearing solo, or as an excellent entry point for everyday pearl jewelry. Each pearl is naturally formed and undyed, retaining the unique cool-toned luster and high reflectivity of Akoya pearls. We've specifically selected pearls with the Tennyo blue-toned luster layer, making them highly collectible and wearable. As our factory produces pearls and crafts jewelry in-house, all pearl sizes are produced in limited quantities. Because pearls require time to harvest, and factors such as harvest conditions or aquaculture environments can affect yields, certain sizes may become scarce. Consequently, some styles may experience temporary stock shortages. Please inquire about availability before placing an order. Our pearls, depending on the variety, are sourced from two major production regions: Japan and China. All are processed and crafted in our professional jewelry workshops in China, ensuring stable quality and exquisite craftsmanship to perfectly showcase the pearls' natural luster and charm. 🔹 Japanese Origin | Akoya Saltwater Pearls, Tennyo Pearls Akoya pearls are the most representative type of saltwater pearl. Primarily cultivated in regions of Japan such as Mie, Kumamoto, and Ehime, they are particularly renowned along the Seto Inland Sea coast. Akoya pearls are formed within the **Pinctada fucata** oyster. Due to the oyster's small size, each shell can only produce one pearl, requiring approximately 3 years of meticulous cultivation. This results in relatively scarce production, with quality and price reflecting their rarity. Akoya pearls are nucleated and possess exceptional roundness with a cool, brilliant luster, earning them the nickname "little light bulbs" in the high-end jewelry world. Their surface often exhibits a natural "orange peel" texture. Pearls selected at a premium grade (often accompanied by a Japanese certificate) are nearly flawless with enhanced translucency. Their colors range widely, including cherry blossom pink, snow white, blue-pink, cool blue, aurora gold, and queen color. Additionally, the rare Tennyo color series, an Akoya variant with natural purplish-pink iridescence, is highly sought after by collectors. 🔹 Chinese Origin | Freshwater Cultured Pearls China is the world's largest producer of freshwater pearls, with production concentrated in Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangsu, and Anhui. Freshwater pearls are primarily cultivated from large bivalves like the triangle shell mussel. A single mussel can yield dozens of pearls simultaneously, resulting in a much higher output than saltwater pearls. In the past decade, with significant advancements in cultivation techniques and grading standards, high-quality freshwater pearls now rival Akoya in roundness, nacre density, and luster. Although nucleated, top-grade freshwater pearls can achieve near-perfect roundness, possess a warm, translucent luster, and exhibit strong surface glow, all at a more accessible price point. They are an excellent value choice for everyday wear and designer jewelry. Regardless of whether you choose Akoya saltwater pearls or Chinese freshwater pearls, all items are crafted in our Chinese processing workshops. This ensures that every piece, from raw material to the finest details of craftsmanship, meets jewelry-grade standards, adding an elegant touch to your daily life. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54586131810_8f2fee49cc_b.jpg (Pearl Grading Guide: The circled sections can serve as a reference standard for the pearls in our store.) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54586035868_cf01f90df0_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54585793436_ddd2e63e51_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54585797431_701d282b24_b.jpg Care Recommendations: After wearing, gently wipe the pearl surface with a soft, dry cloth.
