The color-treatment process for Akoya pearls is by dyeing them; the pearls are soaked in a dark aniline dye for days to weeks at a time in large batches - each processing house in Japan has their own secret dye recipe that is carefully guarded. The resulting colors are a jet black body color, tinged with midnight blue to greenish black overtones. The treatment is extremely stable and will last decades without fading or chipping as long as the pearls are properly cared for. All of our Akoya pearls are sourced directly from Japan, which is famous for producing the world's finest Akoya pearls. For more information, read our Akoya Pearl Buying Guide.
