The Akoya Pearl's Journey: Understanding Ise-Shima's Pearl Cultivation

Pearls have a charm that's hard to resist, and much of this allure comes from the fascinating process of their formation. The Ise-Shima region in Japan is renowned for its pearl cultivation, and to truly appreciate these gems, it's worth understanding the Akoya oyster's role in this process. Introducing the Akoya Oyster Central to Ise-Shima's pearl industry is the Akoya oyster, scientifically known as Pinctada fucata martensii.

Finding the right fit for your bracelet ensures comfort and style. Here's how to determine the best size for you:

  1. Measure Your Wrist: Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string to measure just above your wrist bone, where you would normally wear a bracelet.
  2. Add Length: For a snug fit, add 1/4 to 1/2 inch to your wrist measurement. For a more comfortable fit, add 3/4 to 1 inch. If you prefer a loose fit, add 1 1/4 inches.
  3. Choose Your Size: Select the bracelet size that matches your total measurement. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort.

Example:

  • Wrist measurement: 6.25 inches
  • Desired fit: Comfortable
  • Add: 3/4 inch
  • Bracelet size: 7 inches

Tips:

  • If using string, mark the overlap point and measure the length against a ruler.
  • Consider how tight or loose you prefer your bracelets. Adjust the added length accordingly.

By following these steps, you'll find a beautifully fitting bracelet tailored to your preference.
