8.0-8.5 mm Silver Akoya Pearl Necklace

Striking in both size and character, this 8.0-8.5 mm silver Akoya pearl necklace is a rare expression of natural beauty. With their larger-than-usual size and unmistakable silver hue, these pearls offer a refined statement unlike any other.

These pearls are cultivated in Japan and owe their color to a rare phenomenon—trace protein becomes trapped between the pearl’s nucleus and growing nacre, creating a naturally occurring silver tone. The color is not only permanent, it’s entirely organic—enhanced by soft overtones and subtle iridescence.

Each pearl is perfect round in shape. Matched for balance, color, and luster, these necklaces are available in 16-inch length. Every strand is hand-knotted on twin silk in our studio and finished with a solid silver clasp and safety hook.

At this size, silver Akoya pearls are extraordinarily rare. We only offer them when we are able to collect enough of similar tone and character to create a cohesive, beautifully blended strand. The result is a necklace that is timeless, expressive, and utterly unique.

Whether worn as a signature piece or part of a collection, this necklace reflects the finest traditions of Japanese pearl farming—along with the magic of nature’s unexpected artistry.
