About Gray Akoya
The name "GRAY AKOYA" comes from the Japanese poetic anthology "Man'yōshū," used to praise those blue-hued pearls freshly harvested from the sea and untouched by any artificial treatment. In fact, they are not purely blue; they are silver-gray-blue, a dreamy color that sets them apart in the world of jewelry. The Japan Pearl Science Institute has given this special designation "GRAY AKOYA" to the highest quality Akoya pearls, and only those pearls that meet this top standard can be called "GRAY AKOYA."
GRAY AKOYA has a very unique color, primarily silver-gray, but they exhibit rich overtones in different lighting, such as blue, green, and pink. The blue overtone is the most common, giving a deep and tranquil feeling; the green overtone is full of vitality and energy; the pink overtone is quite rare, reminiscent of romantic cherry blossoms. When the pearl is rotated, you can also see iridescent changes, and the high mirror-like luster allows one to clearly see their own features reflected in each pearl. Its luster typically exceeds the strong luster level, earning it the nickname "little light bulb," which is quite an exaggeration!
GRAY AKOYA is extremely rare and precious, regarded as the "nobility" of the jewelry world. Their prices increase sharply with diameter; starting from 5mm, a well-preserved GRAY AKOYA can sell for several thousand yuan each. For those looking to collect jewelry,GRAY AKOYA is undoubtedly an excellent choice. However, maintenance is also very important! Avoid contact with chemicals, and regularly wipe them with a soft cloth to preserve their luster and beauty.
