Estate Originals 20" Cultured Pearl Necklace with 14K Yellow Gold Mabe Pearl and Diamond Enhancer and Barrel Clasp

Radiating with 54 luminous 8mm to 8.5mm Akoya cultured pearls, this elegant matinee-length (20 to 24 inches) necklace is as appropriate with business attire as it is with formal wear or casual clothing. Each is individually hand knotted, the pearls exhibit high luster, are well-matched, and display a lovely light cream colour with rose and green overtones. The necklace connects by way of a 14K yellow and white gold screw down barrel clasp, enhanced with three rhondel-shaped rows of 32 diamonds. Wear it alone or add the accompanying 14K yellow gold enhancer to transform its aesthetic. The enhancer features a centrally bezel-set 12.8mm mabe pearl with a pave of nine diamonds at the top and a single diamond at the bottom, all surrounded by a curved bezel with a V-shaped tip and open end. A flip hatch is located on the reverse which exhibits a cutout designed to cradle the pearl while securing with a figure-eight security clasp.

Natural pearls occur organically in nature without any human interference and are so rare they are almost nonexistent in today’s market. In contrast, cultured pearls are meticulously cultivated through a careful process that starts with inserting a shell bead into a mollusk. This prompts the natural process: nacre is produced and surrounds the bead, eventually resulting in the formation of a pearl. Cultivated primarily in Japan and China, Akoya pearls are prized for their high luster, round shape, and minimal imperfections.
