Black Akoya Pearls

Black pearls exude beauty unlike other pearls. Its rare appearance plus the fact that it is uncommon makes it irresistible in the jewelry market. Black pearls come from different places such as Tahiti and Akoya.

Akoya pearls are produced by the oysters specifically thriving in a place called Akoya. The Akoya pearl sold nowadays are product of man’s continued research in the production of black pearls. Through the skillful hands of a culturist, a nucleus which shall form as the starting point for the formation of the pearl is inserted in the oyster. After such insertion, the main process which is the continued coating of the nucleus is commenced by the mollusk. A liquid is continuously secreted by the mollusk which later on hardens. The product is a lustrous Akoya pearl.

Though Akoya pearls are cultured, they are still considered rare. In order for the culturing process to be completely successful, the culturist must be highly skilled. He must know where to place the nucleus. Otherwise, the culturing process will be of no use as the mollusk will reject it. The production of Akoya pearls is indeed a time-consuming process that will require tremendous amount of patience.

The secret of the luster of Akoya pearls lie in the temperature of the water. Studies have shown that the shiniest pearls are produced from mollusks that thrive in waters that have cold temperature. The coolness of the water stimulates the mollusk to produce thicker secretions which forms as the shiny layers of the pearl.
