According to the experts at the Cultured Pearl Association of America, Blue Akoya pearls are blue due to a grafting error!
True-Blue Akoya pearls are still rare as farmers and grafters aren’t actually trying to make them on purpose. When the grafter inserts the nucleus incorrectly, it can cause delays in the healing of the surgical incision site. This creates an inflammatory response within the oyster, and irregular secretions of the nacre around the nucleus. The organic matter is usually black or brownish colored, but when viewed through the thousands of layers of semi-transparent crystalline nacre layers, it appears BLUE.
