Pearl Types |
| Pearls comes in all sorts of colors and types. Sky Facet offers Fresh Water, Akoya, South Sea, and Tahitian pearls. Sky Facet offers cultured and natural pearls but the most common type is cultured pearls. Cultured pearls are made by inserting a tiny object into a mollusk(aka oyster) by a human and this enables the oyster to grow layers on its narce around the tiny object to form a pearl. |
Akoya Pearls |
| Akoya pearls from Sky Facet originate from the pearl farms in Japan. At Sky Facet we offer two grades of quality akoya pearls "good quality" and Excellant quality". Each pearl is hand selected and is tested under the Sky Facet pearl grading process. Every aspect of our pearls are looked over to ensure the best value pearl jewelry for our customers. Akoya pearls come in a rose color and a gold color. Akoya pearls are considered the "classics" in pearl jewelry. |
Freshwater Pearls |
| Fresh water pearls available at Sky Facet offer great quality along with great value. Freshwater pearls do resemble akoya pearls but a slight difference in luster and overall quality are what make freshwater pearls more affordable than akoyas. Freshwater pearls originate from china and are the perfect pearl type for those who would like to have the look of high quality pearls without the high price. |
South Sea Pearls |
| South sea pearls available from Sky Facet are of excellant quality that are sought after around the world for there beautiful luster and rich tones. White and silver in color south sea pearls may look similar to akoya pearls, but there size and sheer luster can seperate the two. South sea pearls are grown in the pincatada oyster which is much greater in size compared to a freshwater or akoya pearls oyster. south sea pearls are very rare and are considered of the highest quality pearls in the world because even the delicate steps needed to produce a beautiful south sea pearls cannot guarantee an excellant pearl every time these pearls are considered rare and very valuable. |
Tahitian Pearls |
| Perhaps no other pearl illustrates and captures the beauty and mystery of the sea better than a tahitian pearl(aka black south sea pearl). These pearls are extremely rare and originate from the Polynesia region aka Tahiti. The color of tahitian pearls is a blend between black, purple, and green some say it captures the sea under a moon lit night. |
