Japanese Akoya Blue-Silver Saltwater 8mm-8.5mm Pearl (1 pc/P3475)

These blue-silver Japanese Akoya saltwater pearls are the ones that make you pause at the bead table. The color has a cool metallic cast with a deep inner glow, and the 8mm-8.5mm size makes these one of the larger pearls in this Akoya batch, with enough presence to stand alone as a pendant, charm, or focal bead.

This lot has beautiful luster with visible natural surface markings, so it is ideal for makers who love the rare blue-silver color and do not need every pearl to be flawless. Choose a single pearl for one special piece, or the 8 inch strand if you are building a matched design.
