We acquired these pearls long before they became fashionable (and now more expensive) and are passing along the savings. Below is a recent article on these types of Akoya Pearls from the Akoya buying guide.
One of the newest pearl crazes are baroque akoya pearls which feature heavily textured surfaces and unique, free-form shapes. Once hardly ever seen in jewelry stores, baroque Akoya pearls are fast becoming a staple.With easier access to Japan's farmers and pearl producers overseas, jewelers and retailers can now bring these unique pearls to the world's jewelry markets for all to enjoy. Customers who had never dreamed that pearls like these existed now have opportunities to own something that was one truly rare and quite expensive.
How can I tell if my Akoya pearls are real?
Rub them against your teeth with a side-to-side motion. A real pearl will usually have a slightly rough or gritty texture from tiny scale-like imperfections in its outer layers of nacre. Fake pearls made from glass or plastic will usually be almost perfectly smooth.
