According to Modern Jeweler's Kremkow, the akoya pearl is back this Summer. It is back in a big, sexy way!Mikimoto took the stage in the recent movie Sex in the City, with a 32-inch, 8.5 mm strand of akoya pearls ($11,900) worn by Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw.
OK. We're talking about SJP. Great actor. She is cute. She is popular. But sexy...? No one can argue against that when she climbs into bed with Mr. Big wearing nothing else! Akoya pearls in bed are sexy. Hell, freshwater pearls in bed are sexy. Just ask Kiki de Montparnasse!
Riding on the popularity bandwagon, Mikimoto is advertising its Sex in the City placement in its stores and online imitators were quick to snag a piece. Opera length necklaces appropriately named "City Strands" and "Carrie's Pearls" are popping up everywhere.

That does not seem feasible. The shell is much too thin.
