Prized for their rich hues, intense lustre and spherical shape, each pearl in our Akoya pearl range is carefully hand-sourced from our sustainable pearl producers. From the timelessness of Akoya pearl necklaces to the chic statement of matching earrings, our Akoya pearl designs are enduringly elegant and endlessly versatile.
Whether you’re looking to elevate an everyday outfit with the addition of whiteAkoya pearl stud earrings or you’re searching for a statement design like themulti-tonal Akoya pearl necklace, we have Akoya pearl jewellery to suit every taste.
Originating in the mild oceanic waters around Japan, China, Vietnam and Thailand, Akoya pearls remain consistently popular. Unlike freshwater pearls, grown in lakes and rivers, they are saltwater pearls, grown in the ocean.
Akoya pearls are cultured, meaning a bead is inserted into the Akoya oyster, which then coats it in layers of nacre. Over time, this process creates cultured Akoya pearls. Each design is made all the more unique by the fact that individual oysters will only ever produce one Akoya pearl in their lifetime. And no two are the same.
Akoya pearl jewellery is cherished for its ability to illuminate the natural beauty of the wearer. This is thanks to the mirror-like surface of the pearls, which reflects and refracts natural light. Ranging in tone from white, pale or deep blues and greys through to pale gold, Akoya pearls complement every wearer’s style, complexion and design preference. They even come in ‘pinked’ hues for a more diverse colour spectrum.
We’ve established professional relationships with the world’s most reputable pearl farmers and silversmiths over the course of three decades. Each Akoya pearl used in our designs is responsibly harvested before being hand-crafted at our London studio.
With Coleman Douglas Pearls, you can choose from a wide range of top-quality Akoya pearls, including black Akoya pearls and white pearls. White Akoya pearls are the most abundant type, with pink or silver overtones. Black Akoya pearls are dyed with a blue or green overtone.
