They are genuinely originated in the oyster and remain there until it's time for them to be harvested.
Akoya Pearls are always going to be white in color or they will have a cream colored tint to them. They are perfectly round in formation. Japanese Akoya pearls just like other genuine pearls require the proper care in order to maintain their beauty and luster. When storing your pearls, store them separate from your other jewelry. This will insure that your pearls which are very soft don't come in contact with your hard metal jewelry risking scratches or other damages. Store your pearls in a soft cloth bag such as a satin bag or a velvet bag. Don't store them in a safety deposit box either, they should be stored in a place that always remains cool.
As the Japanese Akoya Pearls are sensitive to most acids, you will want to be careful when wearing your pearl necklace that you don't drop things such as salad dressing which contains vinegar on them. You will also want to avoid spilling a drink that might contain alcohol on your pearls. Cosmetics can also damage your pearls as well as hair spray and many perfumes. You will want to make sure that you are completely dressed before placing your Japanese Akoya pearl necklace around your neck. Even your perspiration contains mild acids so you will want to be sure that you wipe your pearls down with a damp or dry cloth before you put them away after wearing them.
Should your Japanese Akoya pearl necklace come in contact with something that is harmful to it, you will want to make sure that you clean your necklace well. You can use a mild soap such as baby soap. Rinse the necklace well after washing it and place the necklace back into its satin pouch to dry completely. Don't wear your pearls while the string is still wet or even damp. Damp strings can stretch and can also be more of an attraction to dirt causing your string to look dirty and discolored. Always wait until the necklace is completely dry before wearing it again.
It is recommended that you have your Japanese Akoya pearl necklace restrung once every year or two. It is also recommended that you wear your pearls at least once a month. Pearls are natural and organic and they need to have fresh air and moisture to help them maintain their beautiful luster.
