Opulentia Elegans - Platinum Saltwater Akoya Pearl, Sapphire and 18K Gold Necklace

Artisan Jewelry : Necklaces

 

Tasteful Opulence...this necklace showcases a strand of cultured Japanese saltwater Akoya pearls of an iridescent platinum hue (not dyed, not irradiated, wholly natural colour). The pearls have fine lustre with some surface irregularities that only demonstrate their organic nature. Measuring 7mm, they are visually if not geometrically round. At the centre of the necklace sits a large (10x11mm) Australian South Sea saltwater platinum pearl of exceptional quality. Cupping this beauty are filigreed caps of solid 18K gold. Between each pearl sits a pattern of alternating smooth sapphires of Burmese pink and Ceylonese blue. The pinks total 1 carat in weight; the blues, 3.75 carats. The deep pink and soft cornflower blue are natural. Small granulated discs of 18K gold separate sapphire from pearl and add sparkle up the strand. The necklace finishes with an 18K gold s-clasp embellished with a bezel set and faceted deep blue Thai sapphire.

This gorgeous piece is currently on display at the prestigious Manika Gallery in San Francisco...

There are matching earrings available separately and shown in the last photographs (EAR-1012). The necklace measures 18" and ships in a presentation box.
