Pearl Necklaces - 106

This simple 18.75" design is a stunning flow of beautiful white/ivory saltwater pearls. The pearls cascade down towards nine handcarved beads of black jade, which have natural light and dark variations. This necklace is a unique creation and is completed with a sterling silver lobster claw clasp.

Saltwater pearls are grown individually in oysters. They are more expensive than freshwater pearls as their cultivation process is more lengthy. Saltwater pearls are farmed one at a time inside the oyster, resulting in one saltwater pearl per oyster. Freshwater pearls are farmed inside mussels and with multiple irritants, resulting in numerous freshwater pearls inside one mussel. Both pearls have features that make them both wonderful investments and heirlooms.
