The cultivation of Akoya pearls takes place within bivalve molluscs belonging to the genus Pinctada (Pinctada Fucata and sub-species Pinctada Martensi). In the industrial field, however, Japanese pearl oysters are commonly referred to as "Akoya" while the pearls they produce are simply referred to as "Akoya cultured pearls". The Akoya oyster has always been particularly abundant in the waters surrounding Japan, even if there are other species in China, Korea, South-East Asia, Australia and the Red Sea but also in the Persian Gulf and along all the coasts eastern and southern Africa, finally off 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 brightness. The Akoya oyster is smaller than other pearl oysters. Once it has reached its full development, it has a shell with measurements ranging from 8 to up to 13 cm in diameter. The difference in size becomes abysmal when compared to the Pinctada Maxima (cultivations of the South Seas) which can even reach 30 cm in diameter.
The logical consequence of small sized oysters are pearls which generally tend to be relatively small. Akoya cultured pearls, in fact, have dimensions ranging from 2 mm to 11 mm in diameter. A diameter of 10 mm appears to be infrequent while if it is 11 mm it represents a completely exclusive phenomenon.
