Choker-Length Strand of 11.5mm Tahitian Pearls w White Gold & Diamond Ball Clasp

About the Item

We bought these gorgeous, genuine Tahitian pearls at a trade show in 2023. Pearl strands are usually sold in 18" strands, but we restrung the pearls to move the distinctive yellow-gold pearl into the middle (duh, right?) and opted for a shorter choker length because it's more dramatic. These are slightly graduated (11mm to just under 12mm) lustrous, multi-colored off-round baroques, mostly silver, but there's some browns, that one lovely golden center pearl and a couple of pistachios. While these pearls show some characteristic natural flaws (pitting and circles), they're the kinds of flaws that we like -- they highlight the natural diversity of these amazing organic gems -- as opposed to the kinds of flaws (such as chalky white or black blemishes) that distract and scream "I'm a pearl that just barely missed the 'reject' bucket!" The closure is a frosty 11mm ball clasp that you won't mind creeping from the back of your neck to the front! It's set with thirty tiny single-cut diamonds. The total diamond weight is probably around 0.10 carats. The diamonds are natural (i.e., earth-mined) and unusually clean for this sort of application. (Most manufacturers use I1-I3 stones on clasps, and these are more like SI1-2.) Strung on silver-grey silk and fully knotted, of course.
