South Sea pearls are among the rarest and most sought after pearls in the world. Cultivated over many years (six times longer than Akoya pearls!), South Sea pearls are coveted for how large they can become while maintaining an incredible luster worthy of the finest gem grade pearls. Their mesmerizing luster is superior to other cultivated pearls due to the thicker nacre developed over more time. This stunning example is a singular beauty that drops from a dazzling diamond enhancer pendant. Its ethereal, iridescent luster shines beneath a skirted cap of marquise diamonds, all set in bright white gold. A bezel-set diamond connects the pearl drop to its sparkling bale: a brilliant half-band of diamonds with a hidden hinged clip behind it. The hinged clip allows the spectacular South Sea pearl to attach to pearl or beaded necklaces, as well as thick chains, enhancing anything it adorns!
