Are these real pearls?

Yes. They are cultured Akoya pearls, grown on pearl farms rather than found in the wild. Akoya is a saltwater pearl type known for round shape and high luster.

What does 6.5–7.0mm mean?

It is the diameter of the pearls, measured in millimeters. At this size the strand is noticeable but not chunky, which makes it easy to wear with both daytime and evening outfits.

What is the clasp made of?

The clasp is 14K gold. That matters for shoppers with metal sensitivities, since gold is less likely to irritate skin than base metals.

How does this compare with a freshwater pearl necklace?

Akoya pearls are typically rounder and more lustrous than freshwater pearls, and they cost more. Freshwater strands offer a softer, more casual look at a lower level of the market.

How should I care for it?

Keep the pearls away from perfume, hairspray and household cleaners, and wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing. Store the strand flat or hung separately so it does not rub against harder jewelry.

A single strand of Akoya pearls is a traditional gift for graduations, weddings and anniversaries. The classic style makes it easy to wear with many outfits.

About the Zales 6.5-7.0mm Cultured Akoya Pearl Strand Necklace with 14K

A classic single strand of cultured Akoya pearls, 6.5–7.0mm, finished with a 14K gold clasp. Akoya pearls are the round, lustrous saltwater type most associated with fine jewelry, and this size sits in the everyday-to-dressy middle ground. It suits shoppers who want a traditional pearl necklace without going to larger, heavier South Sea pearls. Compared with freshwater strands, Akoya pearls are rounder and glossier, but they cost more and are less forgiving of rough wear.
