This elegant pearl choker necklace features AAA quality, 7.5-8.0mm Japanese Akoya pearls, handpicked for their glowing luster and flattering pastel overtones of rose, silver or cream. Our AAA quality Akoya pearls display excellent, mirror-like luster, clean surfaces, perfectly round shapes and near-perfect matching for every pearl necklace. Each pearl necklace is hand-strung and double-knotted with white silk, ensuring both an elegant drape as well as durability, and is finished with a solid 14kt gold clasp of your choice.  Choose your favorite choker necklace length: 16 or 18-inches.

Japan is famous for creating some of the world's finest Akoya pearls. The coastal areas of Mie and Ehime prefectures known as "The Cradle of Pearls" are some of the most important pearl farming regions. Akoya pearls get their trademark bright, mirror-like luster partly due to the cooler water temperatures surrounding Japan. We purchase our Japanese Akoya pearls direct from pearl farms that have dedicated generations to their craft; their meticulous cultivation practices are the reason why Japan is considered the "Gold Standard" for lustrous Akoya pearls For more insights on selecting the perfect Akoya pearls, explore our Akoya Pearl Buying Guide.

At Pearls of Joy, we know that exceptional jewelry begins with the finest materials, expert craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Every Akoya pearl necklace is created to showcase the natural beauty of our pearls, creating jewelry designed to be treasured for years to come. Each pearl necklace arrives in a sleek jewelry box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity for added peace of mind. With our generous 100-Day Return and Exchange policy, you can shop with confidence, knowing that quality, authenticity, and your satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do.

    Akoya pearl necklace

    I loved the quality. However, the 18” length was a little too short, and I have returned those for a 20” strand, and a larger pearl. I’m anxious to get the new strand.

    Nicole sent me a return label, so it was easy to make exchanges.

    One Akoya necklace is not enough!

    This is my second POJ purchase. I was very happy with the 18" 6.5-7mm strand that I purchased five years ago, but thought it would be so nice to have a second necklace, 20" in length and with slightly larger pearls. But when the 20" 7.0-7.5mm necklace arrived, I was a little disappointed to not discern much difference between the pearl sizes.

    With some hesitation, I emailed POJ with a couple of questions, followed by a request for a return, and then more questions about the duration of the current 20% off sale. The Operations Manager could not have been more gracious or helpful in our ongoing correspondence, and POJ fully stood by the stated and generous return policy. The return was quickly processed.

    I was beyond thrilled when the 20" 7.5-8mm Akoya necklace I ordered as a replacement arrived. It was even more gorgeous and lustrous than the necklace I had bought five years earlier, and was exactly the size I had envisioned. Now I feel so privileged every time I open my jewelry box and see two gleaming Pearls of Joy Akoya necklaces, and I know that our two daughters will one day treasure them, too.

    Gorgeous--mirror-like luster

    These POJ pearls are absolutely gorgeous. They have a sharp, mirror-like luster --they almost appear to glow because they shine so much. I thought they looked even better than the gem-quality FW pearls, which were also quite beautifully lustrous (the FW were truly lovely pearls and way above what I had seen in traditional jewelry stores) but their luster was not as metallic as these akoyas.
