Akoya pearls are cultivated inside bivalve molluscs belonging to the Pinctada genus (Pinctada Fucata and subspecies Pinctada Martensi). In the industrial sector, however, Japanese pearl oysters are commonly called "Akoya" while the pearls produced by them are simply called "Akoya cultured pearls". The Akoya oyster has always been particularly abundant in the waters surrounding Japan, although other species exist in China, Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Red Sea, but also in the Persian Gulf and along all the eastern and southern coasts of Africa, and finally off the coast of the Caribbean Islands. Despite the different locations, Japan and China are undoubtedly the largest producers of Akoya cultured pearls. The temperate climate of these regions, with mild winters, allows these molluscs to produce pearls with a very high degree of luster. The Akoya oyster is smaller than other pearl oysters. Once fully developed, it has a shell with measurements that oscillate between 8 and up to 13 cm in diameter. The difference in size becomes abysmal when compared to the Pinctada Maxima (South Sea cultivations) which can even reach 30 cm in diameter.

The logical consequence of small oysters are pearls that generally tend to be relatively small. Akoya cultured pearls, in fact, have sizes ranging from 2 mm to up to 11 mm in diameter. A diameter of 10 mm is rare while 11 mm represents a completely exclusive phenomenon.
