Saltwater pearls - Country of origin - Japan

Saltwater pearls grow in oysters living in the sea. The most famous is Pinctada fucata martensii, in which the renowned Akoya pearls are cultivated. Other types include Tahitian pearls from Polynesia, South Sea pearls from Australia and Indonesia, and the rare Cortez pearls. Each type has its own unique character and colors.

Saltwater pearls are known for their high luster, round shape and stunning range of colors. Compared to freshwater pearls, they are more expensive, as their cultivation is more demanding and production more limited.

Pearls have a long history and have always been regarded as a symbol of wealth, elegance and nobility. Today they remain among the most luxurious pearl jewelry, retaining their timeless beauty and value.

Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, confirming the origin and quality of the pearls.

The most famous types of saltwater pearls include:

  • Akoya – classic Japanese pearls, renowned for their perfectly round shape, white color and high luster.
  • Tahitian pearls – exotic dark pearls from Polynesia, with shades ranging from grey to green and black.
  • South Sea – large pearls from the South Pacific, often in white, silver or golden tones, considered among the most valuable.
  • Cortez – pearls from the Gulf of Mexico, prized for their unique metallic overtones.

Saltwater pearls grow larger than freshwater pearls – typically from 6 mm in Akoya up to 20 mm in South Sea. Their quality is assessed similarly (A to AAA), but for saltwater pearls high luster and roundness are even more highly valued.

Luxury earrings, necklaces or rings with saltwater pearls are a timeless investment that never loses value. Every woman should own at least one piece of saltwater pearl jewelry – a symbol of elegance and prestige.
