These classic pearl stud earrings feature luxurious 8.0-8.5mm White Japanese Akoya pearls in one of our most popular and versatile sizes. Renowned for their remarkable luster and captivating iridescence, these perfectly round cultured pearls are hand-selected to ensure you receive only the finest quality. Available in AA+ Quality, you can also choose to upgrade to AAA for a stunningly sharper luster and nearly flawless surface. Each pair is meticulously matched and set in your choice of 14K White or Yellow Gold at our Los Angeles workshop.

When it comes to Akoya pearls, Japan is considered the "Gold Standard" for cultivating gems with exceptional quality and luster. Japan's pearl growing regions along the coast, particularly the Mie and Ehime prefectures (called the "Cradle of Pearls") are fed by the cold waters of the Pacific. These cooler temperatures help support the development of fine, tightly compacted nacre that give Akoya pearls their brilliant, mirror-like shine. We work directly with experienced Japanese pearl farmers who have been growing cultured Akoya pearls for generations, and that share our commitment to quality, and who select pearls for their outstanding luster, beauty and durability. For more insights on selecting the perfect pearls, explore our Akoya Pearl Buying Guide.

At Pearls of Joy, we believe fine Akoya pearl jewelry comes down to three things: beautiful pearls, quality materials, and craftsmanship you can see.
