Why choose Akoya?
Akoya pearls are the classic white pearls most people picture when they think of a fine pearl necklace. They are loved for their bright shine, round shape, and elegant finish. Compared with freshwater pearls, Akoya pearls usually have a sharper, more mirror-like luster.
The 18” length sits close to the collarbone.
This is one of the easiest pearl necklace lengths to wear. It works with a blouse, dress, sweater, blazer, or simple white shirt. The 7.5–8mm pearl size gives enough presence to feel special while staying clean and timeless.
- Good size for a first fine pearl necklace.
- Strong gift choice because the look is classic.
- Works for both everyday outfits and formal moments.
Care notes
Pearls are organic gemstones, so they should be treated gently. Put them on after perfume, hairspray, and lotion. After wearing, wipe the pearls with a soft cloth and store the necklace flat in a pouch or box.
Service-backed piece
Your necklace is backed by Prestige Pearl's lifetime restringing service. Pearl strands are meant to last, and restringing helps keep the necklace secure, clean, and wearable for years.

Is the clasp real gold?
Yes. The clasp is solid 14KT gold. It is not gold plated.
Can this necklace be worn every day?

Not sure if Akoya is the right pearl?
