TASAKI's Akoya pearls are nurtured in three seas: Ninety-Nine Islands in Nagasaki, Ise-Shima in Mie, and Uwajima in Ehime. Calm waters without rough waves, and clear water. Born only when many conditions align, each pearl is a gem that rests on respect for nature and the surrounding environments.
Our artisans swear by the daylight. Light from the north is, mostly, steadier than the South's which changes its mind too often. They look for the brilliance, the thickness of the lustre, the shape. Nothing but an eye to judge it. Nothing but years of knowing what to look for.
