Welcome
to Pearls America. We specialize in Akoya pearls – the best cultured
pearls you can find, and ours are at extremely high grades, round, and
saltwater grown - a very important distinction. The Akoya often is
considered the “classic pearl”. High-grade quality Akoyas are hard to
find anywhere, particularly in the larger pearl sizes we offer. Our
pearls are gorgeous with fantastic luster. Our fine pear products are
perfect for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas presents, Bat
Mitzvahs, and other very special occasions. Compare our quality
products to that offered by others, including Mikimoto, Tiffany, Blue
Nile, Maui Divers, Aloha Pearls, and other fine jewelers, who may
charge up to 10 and 20 times more. We believe you will be fully
satisfied. Don't forget to compare us with other larger pearls sellers,
though. A 4mm or 5mm freshwater pearl necklace is in a different class
than our 8-9mm saltwater pearl necklaces!
Our
pearls are hand selected, and have many of the same attributes as the
most famous pearl brands, such as white color, round shape, seawater
cultured, high luster, thick nacre, rose overtones and extremely high
selection standards. We only choose from the top 5 percent of the
Akoyas grown or better. We finish our fine pearl necklaces and stud
earrings with 14k (14kt) and 18k (18kt) solid gold clasps and posts.
We use professional GIA grading standards. All products guaranteed.
Remember, at Pearls America, only our prices are lower, not our quality.
