Akoya

Overall the akoya is exactly what I was looking for!

4.5/5

It pairs nicely with Vitaly’s pearl earrings (I forget their name). I got the 50cm chain with 6mm pearls - something I felt had solid length and could stand on its own, or had layering potential. The 6mm pearls are nearly the same size as the steel balls providing a smooth transition between materials.

The clasp is the same as the Transit chain, which I love for how sturdy and secure it feels. The only issue I’ve noticed, is that it has a tendency to slide around to the front, leaving the clasp as the center presentation. This may be due to personal anatomy, or the nature of the design - either way it is an easy fix and does not bother me much as I enjoy an off-center look.

Time will tell how well it holds up, but for the first week we’re doing pretty well so far!

I recently purchased this necklace, and I am completely in love. From the moment I opened the box, I was blown away by its elegance and craftsmanship. The design is both timeless and modern, making it incredibly versatile — I've worn it with everything from casual outfits to formal evening wear, and it never fails to turn heads.

The quality is top-tier. The chain feels sturdy yet delicate, and the pendant (a dazzling crystal centerpiece) catches the light beautifully without being too flashy. You can tell it was made with care - no sharp edges, no cheap-looking parts, just pure elegance.

What really sets this necklace apart is how it makes me feel when I wear it - confident, polished, and just a little bit magical. Whether you're buying it for yourself or as a gift, you honestly can't go wrong. It's the kind of piece that makes people stop and ask 🫶🏽
