Akoya Saltwater Pearls The two largest producers of akoya saltwater pearls are Japan and China. Akoya pearls have body colors ranging from white to cream with possible overtone colors of rose, silver, and green. Akoya pearl sizes range from less than 5mm to 9mm. Larger saltwater pearl sizes are possible, but less frequent. Saltwater pearls are more valuable than their freshwater cousins because of their beauty and supply.
