在澳大利亚珍珠公司，我们养殖两种珍珠，即大珠母贝（ 澳大利亚南海珍珠）和阿古屋珠母贝（ 阿古屋珍珠），它们都是阿古屋牡蛎群的一部分。虽然阿古屋珍珠可能比其澳大利亚南海表亲小，但在用这些珍珠制成的精美珠宝方面，它仍然独树一帜。在本文中，我们将仔细研究阿古屋珍珠，并解释它们与通常较大的珍珠之间的区别。

阿古屋珍珠产于哪里？

阿古屋珍珠是一种产自阿古屋牡蛎的海水珍珠。这些牡蛎主要产于日本沿海较冷的水域，以及越南、韩国和澳大利亚。中国曾是这种珍珠的主要产地，但由于多种因素，现在已不再如此。

世界上如此多的阿古屋珍珠产自日本的主要原因之一是，日本一家面店老板的儿子御木本幸吉（也许您知道这个姓氏？）最先学会了如何持续养殖珍珠。御木本随后在创建全球养殖珍珠行业方面发挥了重要作用，这是一个了不起的故事，我们将在未来的文章中介绍。虽然淡水珍珠平均在一个养殖周期内产出 20-50 颗珍珠，但阿古屋珍珠贝很少能产出超过两颗珍珠。

阿古屋珍珠是如何形成的？

阿古屋珍珠是在牡蛎体内由贝壳和一小块外套膜组织组成的珠子成核时形成的。这颗珠子成为珍珠的核，这也是阿古屋珍珠通常呈完美圆形的原因。牡蛎会用珍珠层（一种牡蛎分泌的分泌物）覆盖珠子，以保护自己免受刺激。随着时间的推移，珍珠层会堆积起来并形成珍珠。

阿古屋珍珠有多大？

由于阿古屋贝比大珠母贝小得多，实际上是所有产珠软体动物中最小的，这也是阿古屋珍珠通常比南海珍珠小的原因之一，大多数阿古屋珍珠的直径在 2 至 10 毫米之间，而南海珍珠的直径为 8 至 20 毫米。

Akoya 鹦鹉螺 有多贵？

至于阿古屋珍珠与不同珍珠价位相比所处的位置，它们既不是最便宜的珍珠类型，也不是最昂贵的珍珠类型。虽然你可能会发现它们比淡水珍珠贵得多，但它们往往是海水珍珠中最便宜的，所以你会发现它们比大溪地珍珠略便宜，比南海和澳大利亚南海珍珠便宜得多。

阿古屋珍珠有哪些颜色？

不同牡蛎的阿古屋珍珠颜色各异，因此，尽管大多数人想到阿古屋珍珠时都会想到白色珍珠，但其实还有许多其他颜色可供选择。这是因为阿古屋珍珠的颜色取决于牡蛎的环境和饮食。阿古屋珍珠的颜色包括白色、乳白色、蓝色和粉红色。

这些不同的颜色可以搭配各种其他珠宝和服装。例如，蓝色阿古屋珍珠可以与银饰搭配，营造出戏剧化的外观。白色阿古屋珍珠可以与金饰搭配，营造出经典的外观。粉色阿古屋珍珠可以与互补色搭配，营造出时尚的外观。

阿古屋珍珠比其他珍珠更有光泽吗？

珍珠的光泽是决定其品质的最重要因素之一。阿古屋珍珠通常比其他类型的珍珠更有光泽，其高亮度是其主要卖点之一。光泽是指从材料表面反射的光量。光泽越高，反射的光线越多，物体看起来就越明亮。光泽在选择珍珠时很重要，因为它会对珍珠的外观产生很大的影响。光泽度高的珍珠比光泽度低的珍珠反射得更明亮、更清晰。这意味着高光泽的珍珠通常比低光泽的珍珠看起来更鲜艳、更美丽。

虽然并非所有人都认同什么是“好”或“坏”的光泽，但大多数人都认为光泽越高越受欢迎。这是因为它使珍珠看起来更自然、更明亮，从而增强其美感。选择珍珠时，重要的是要考虑反射，以确保获得最佳光泽。

阿古屋珍珠有哪些形状？

阿古屋珍珠最常见的形状是圆形，但也有纽扣形、水滴形、椭圆形和巴洛克形等形状。圆形珍珠最受欢迎，因为它们用途最广泛，与任何服装都很相配。水滴形珍珠又长又优雅，戴在项链上非常好看。巴洛克珍珠形状更不规则，比圆形或水滴形珍珠更有个性。它们可用于打造独特的珠宝设计。圆形巴洛克珍珠与巴洛克珍珠类似，但形状为圆形。它们用途广泛，可以以任何方式佩戴。

如何设计你的阿古屋珍珠？

在设计阿古屋珍珠的造型时，需要注意以下几点。首先，考虑珍珠的颜色。如果您有粉红色珍珠，您会想搭配带有粉红色点缀的服装。如果您有银色珍珠，您可以搭配几乎任何服装！

另一件需要考虑的事情是衣服的领口。如果你穿的是高领衣服，可以搭配珍珠吊坠耳环或简单的珍珠项链。如果你穿的是圆领衣服，可以尝试搭配珍珠项链或手镯。

无论您选择如何设计您的阿古屋珍珠，它们都将始终看起来优雅而精致。我们有各种各样的阿古屋珍珠耳环、阿古屋珍珠项链、阿古屋珍珠手镯、阿古屋珍珠戒指和阿古屋珍珠吊坠可供选择，所以请随意浏览我们的阿古屋珍珠系列。

Akoya Pearls FAQs

What are Akoya pearls?

Akoya pearls are Saltwater pearls produced by the Pinctada fucata or Akoya pearl shell. They are best known for their high lustre, variety of colours and more consistent shapes, making them a classic choice for pearl earrings, necklaces and rings.

They are smaller than South Sea pearls but valued for their brightness and symmetry. Akoya pearls are widely used in fine jewellery and considered one of the benchmark pearl types alongside South Sea pearls.

Pearls of Australia includes Akoya pearls direct from our Broken Bay Pearl Farm within our jewellery collections, each coming with a Certificate of Authenticity to support grading and provenance.

Are Akoya pearls real?

Yes, Akoya pearls are real pearls. They are genuine cultured pearls formed inside the Pinctada fucata pearl shell. The term "cultured" means the pearl forms via human intervention, but cultured pearls are still real pearls.

Pearls of Australia only sells genuine pearls, including Akoya pearls.

Where can I buy high-quality Akoya pearl necklaces online in Australia?

You can buy high-quality Akoya pearl necklaces online in Australian through specialist Akoya pearl retailers that provide grading transparency, pearl origin details and pearl type disclosure. Look for brands that focus specifically on pearls rather than general fashion jewellery.

Pearls of Australia offers Akoya pearl necklaces sourced directly from our Broken Bay Pearl Farm in NSW, Australia. All our pearl jewellery comes with detailed information on pearl size, surface quality and setting materials. Buying from a pearl specialist like Pearls of Australia ensures you receive genuine cultured Akoya pearls rather than imitation or mislabelled jewellery.

When buying Akoya pearl necklaces online, check for:

  • Pearl type clearly listed as Akoya
  • Origin and sourcing information, Broken Bay Pearl Farm is the only operating Australian Akoya pearl farm in Australia
  • Solid gold or precious metal clasps and settings
  • Grading notes
  • Educational buying guides and care advice
  • Certificates of Authenticity ensuring traceability

Pearls of Australia proudly offers all the above for all Akoya pearl jewellery purchases.

What are the top-rated Akoya pearl jewellery brands available in Australia?

The top-rated Akoya pearl jewellery brands in Australia are typically pearl specialists and farm-connected retailers known for authenticity, professional grading standards, and sustainable sourcing. These brands focus on pearl quality rather than mass-market production.

Pearls of Australia is recognised for its curated Akoya pearl collections, transparent grading, and direct pearl industry connections. Specialist pearl brands generally rate more highly than chain jewellery stores because they are able to provide deeper product details and provenance assurance.

How do Akoya pearls compare to Freshwater pearls in terms of quality and price?

Akoya pearls, like other saltwater pearls, differ from freshwater pearls in lustre, shape, rarity and price.

Akoya pearls are saltwater pearls known for their sharp, mirror-like lustre and variety of natural colours and overtones. They are typically more valuable due to stricter cultivation conditions and lower yield per pearl shell (only one at a time).

Freshwater pearls are usually more affordable and come in a wider variety of shapes and sizes, but often have a softer lustre compared to Akoya pearls.

Here are the key differences between the two:

  • Lustre: Akoya = sharper and brigher. Freshwater = typically chemically enhanced, and not as deep.
  • Shape: Akoya = more consistent in shapes. Freshwater = more varied.
  • Price: Akoya = higher average price due to rarity. Freshwater = more budget accessible and less rare.
  • Farming: Akoya = Saltwater pearl shell. Freshwater = Freshwater molluscs.

Pearls of Australia only offers pearls that we grow, so we offer Australian Akoya pearls grown at our Broken Bay Pearl Farm in NSW and do not offer freshwater pearls.

Which Australian stores specialise in authentic Akoya pearl earrings?

Australian stores that specialise in authentic Akoya pearl earrings are primarily pearl focused retailers and farm-linked jewellery brands rather than general jewellery chains.

Pearls of Australia specialises in Akoya pearl earrings, like pearl studs and pearl hooks, providing details around pearl type, grading characteristics, and disclosed sourcing from our Broken Bay Pearl Farm in New South Wales. We stock Akoya pearl earrings at all our locations, which include:

We recommend looking for stores that provide explicit Akoya pearl identification, pearl grading details, origin or farm information, care guides and Certificates of Authenticity. Pearls of Australia proudly provides all of the above.

Can I customise Akoya pearl rings with local jewellers in Australia?

Yes, many specialist jewellers and pearl retailers in Australia offer custom Akoya pearl ring design services. Customisation allows you to choose pearl size, colour tone, setting style and metal type.

Pearls of Australia offers made to order pearl jewellery options using selected loose pearls, including Akoya pearls, set in precious metals by experienced jewellers.

Our Made to Order Akoya pearl ring options include:

What colours do Akoya pearls come in?

Akoya pearls most commonly appear in white, cream, blue, silver and pink tones, often with subtle overtones.

Akoya pearls are typically not black, this is associated with Tahitian pearls. Pearls of Australia describes all characteristics of our Akoya pearls in the product listing to help you make an informed decision.

Discover the variety of colours our pearls come in, each natural in colour and lustre and never chemically treated.
