Sponsored Item: Baby Akoya Cultured Pearls 4.5-5.0mm Single-Hole Pair Loose Set (5 pairs, 10 pieces) ☆ Kobe's pearl industry truly began in the early Showa era, after the invention of perfectly round pearls and the increase in pearl farms across the country. At that time, most of Japan's pearls were for export. Kobe, with its international trade port and proximity to pearl farms in Mie and Shikoku, saw the development of pearl processing and distribution businesses, mainly in Kitano-cho, Chuo-ku. As we also operate in Kitano, we are offering these pearls with the cooperation of a pearl wholesaler. Color: White Luster: Very good These are rare single-hole pairs of baby pearls. They are beautiful, have a good luster, and are very cute pearls. Please understand that natural minor imperfections and surface irregularities are characteristic of Akoya pearls. There may be some that are not very noticeable on the front side, and there may be noticeable dimples or unevenness, especially on the back side (hole side). (The hole openings on these pairs are relatively neat.) Because of the good luster, surrounding objects are reflected, and it may be difficult to see the dimples, but please check the photos from various angles carefully. They can be used for earrings, as well as various other accessories.
