What's the difference between freshwater Ak and Edison pearls ?

"Freshwater akoya", a new variety of pearl, has become the most popular variety in the pearl industry in the past two years. It itself was born with controversy. Many people questioned that it was suspected of stealing the popularity of Japanese akoya, and many people praised it without hesitation, calling it the pride of domestic products. Today, I will use this article to explore the past and present of "Freshwater Akoya".

In fact, strictly speaking, freshwater akoya is a kind of freshwater nucleated pearl. It is not the same type of pearl as Japanese akoya. It is produced from the triangular sail clam just like the Edison pearl.

Since this type of pearl has no official scientific name yet, everyone calls it "fresh water akoya". It is a type of freshwater pearl first developed and cultivated by a company in Zhejiang. It is a new type of freshwater pearl with nuclei. It first appeared on the market around the end of 2017. The quality of the first batch of pearls produced was not ideal, and the quantity was relatively small, so they were not well recognized in the market. However, with the advancement of technology research and development in the past two years, the quality has gradually stabilized. The good quality is almost the same as that of Japanese akoya.

Many who promote Japanese akoya pearls even call this a fraud, but in my opinion, the problem is certainly not so serious. Because there is no official official name yet, because the appearance and quality are similar to akoya, it is called freshwater akoya. On the other hand, it is also for the convenience of consumers to identify, because it is similar to seawater akoya in terms of size, specification and quality appearance. Pearl is particularly similar, and it has the qualifier freshwater in front of it. I believe that most consumers who know about pearls will not misunderstand this.

The traditional Akoya pearls refer to the pearls produced in the scallops, and the scallops are called "あこや" in Japan. Since the Japanese pronunciation is Akoya, when you look at them together, it gives people the feeling that they are only in Japan. In fact, the name does not have the characteristics of the place of origin.
The ancestral home of Akoya pearls can be traced back to China. As early as the Song Dynasty, jewelers in Hepu, Guangxi had many collectors of Marquis shells, and it was they who discovered the earliest Akoya pearls. Moreover, there are places where seawater akoya is cultivated in China, so it is not only Japan that has akoya pearls. It is undeniable that the Japanese seawater pearl market is more standardized and refined than domestic ones, but one cannot blindly think that the quality of Japanese seawater pearls is necessarily better than domestic ones.
