4-4.5mm Classic Round Akoya Pearls

4-4.5mm Classic Round Akoya Pearls

These small but beautifully-formed pearls exhibit the classic Akoya lustre and orient. Being entry-level Akoya – hence the remarkable price! – these pearls will show the occasional skin blemish and imperfection, while some of them have the typical Akoya ‘tail’. This does not take away from the overall effect when strung and anyone in the know will instantly identify them as Akoya pearls.
