The jewelry you wear makes a statement. Besides being beautiful, each of our designs communicates a message. Designing with Japanese Akoya keshi is a challenge because not every gem is perfect; in fact, the beauty is found in their very uniqueness and in their imperfections. We at Gifts of the Mermaid believe in the beauty of our products. We combine the natural beauty of exotic Japanese Akoya saltwater keshi 'seed pearls' with the sparkle and sensuality of sapphires, diamonds and many other rare stones. Call or email us today to let us know what you think. We'd love to hear from you!
