Akoya Pearl Collection
More than Akoya Pearl, explore our collection of freshwater, Tahitian, South Sea cultured pearls, as well as colored pearls and mother-of-pearl, for pieces destined to be treasured for generations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Akoya pearls real pearls?
Yes. Akoya pearls are cultured saltwater pearls, grown inside Pinctada fucata oysters off the coasts of Japan and China. They are prized for their perfectly round shape, mirror-like luster, and natural overtones — every pearl in this collection is genuine and hand-selected.
How do I care for Akoya pearl jewelry?
Wipe your pearls gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, and household chemicals. Store them flat in a soft pouch — never in an airtight container, as pearls need a small amount of moisture to stay lustrous.
What makes Akoya pearls different from other pearls?
Akoya pearls are known for their exceptional luster — the sharpest of any pearl type. They typically range from 6–9 mm, with a naturally round shape and a bright, reflective surface. Compared to freshwater pearls, Akoya pearls have a thinner nacre but far superior shine and color consistency.

Calla Lily’s Meaning

High Jewelry Collection.

The $20,000 price isn’t the point.
Because compared to Mikimoto’s roses,
I have always preferred
the calla lily’s petals—
Never a
"look at me, look at me"
kind of bloom,
but one that holds its
nobility inward,
grace,
in quiet restraint.
No wonder
—
women like this are loved, yet free.
The jewelry I wear close
never flimsy.
Every lab-grown diamond is S1,
each one cut to stand alone
as a solitaire.
That’s why it has this weight!
This presence!

VLOGs from New York auctions
to life in California.
“Every time you see me in pearls
—
it’s always, only, this pair.”
Truth is—
as collectors of fine objects,
we’ve handled pearls
with no price ceiling.
I never loved pearls that felt too grand.
The true essence of a pearl is this:
“So noble,
it softens the heart.”
when I got married
on Long Island, New York—
it was this very pair.
As you see—
I’ve always chosen
this size,
this shape,
this perfect round pearl
for the quietest,
most personal moments.
And only this.
These pearls measure
7.5mm–8mm
—
perfect for Eastern features.
Japanese saltwater pearls,
each one certified.

(All are natural saltwater pearls.
Each pair, each pearl, will differ slightly)
Just like the year my mother took me to Kyoto
to choose my very first pearls
—
She taught me this:
“Jewelry near the face
should lift your complexion.”
“Never let it steal
the natural light from your skin.”
“A fine, true round pearl
will bring a flush to the face—
like elegance, born from within.”
*
Better to look right here,
in the photos on my phone.
Just life. Just daily light.

The calla lily’s meaning:
“Loved, but free.”
Because more than Mikimoto’s roses,
I’ve always preferred
the petal of a calla lily.
It never says, “Look at me.”
It simply holds itself—
quiet, composed,
with all its grace turned inward.
No wonder women like that
are the ones who are truly
—
loved, and free.
The jewelry I wear close
—
I never do filler.
Every lab-grown diamond is S1.
Every one, a round cut
worthy of a ring on its own.
That’s why it has this
rich! full! weight!
Curved in form
a calla lily in motion,
never a flat, lifeless piece.
