Estate Originals Custom-Made 18K White Gold Tahitian Pearl and Diamond Drop Earrings

These half-hoop, drop-style earrings are custom-crafted in 18K white gold. A pin-mounted off-round 11 mm black/grey Tahitian pearl drops from the base of a shrimp-style half-hoop that is channel-set with six round, brilliant-cut diamonds. The combined 12 diamonds total 0.42 carats.

Black Tahitian pearls are the only truly naturally occurring black pearls in contrast to black freshwater and Akoya pearls, which are always dyed. Beautiful Tahitian pearls are among the largest pearls in the world, ranging in size from approximately 8 mm to 18 mm. The only larger commercially harvested pearls today are South Sea. Lustre, surface purity and shape are also important factors when determining the quality of a pearl.
