Toning and Natural color
Akoya pearls are called "untoned pearls" that make the best use of the original color.
There are two types of "toned pearls" that have been adjusted in color to give a sense of unity.

Beauty with a sense of unity
Toned pearls are pearls with added color.
The pearls that grow in Akoya pearl oysters have slightly different colors. Therefore, if you use it as a necklace as it is, the colors will be uneven.
Therefore, by adding the same pigment as the light pink that Akoya originally has in the nacre, it gives a sense of unity to the color. This is a toned pearl.
It is said that 90% of the Akoya pearls currently in circulation are toned. That is why many Akoya pearls have a strong pinkish impression.
The biggest attraction of toning is that Akoya's original beauty stands out even more. See for yourself the glaring luster.

The original beauty of pearls
When pearls are taken out of the shell, they are always bleached to remove stains such as darkening. After these processing stages, pearls that are selected as products without toning are classified as " un toned pearls".
The most attractive point of un toned pearls is that they make use of the original color of the pearls. Its rarity value is also one of its attractions. Most of the expensive necklaces sold by luxury brands are actually "toned pearls", and it is rare for a store to always stock " un toned pearls".
At Pearl Seiwa, we always try to stock " un toned pearls" because we want people to know the beauty of the natural colors.
