14k Gold Tahitian South Sea Black Drop Pearl Pendant Necklace

About the Item

This Tahitian South Sea Black Pearl is beautifully round with a gorgeous, lustrous nacre. It connects at its drop point to a delicate 14k gold chain, making it a simple and stunning pendant necklace. The pearl is elongated at the top and makes for an elegant profile. It has a wonderful luminosity and is “peacock aubergine” in color, with undertones of purple, green, and pink, as well as hints of brown. The near-perfect nacre is free of blemishes, and the pearl has a good weight to it, denoting its high quality. Tahitian pearls are naturally dark in color and come from Black-lip Pearl Oysters. While South Sea pearls are typically gold and creamy, Tahitian pearls contain a full spectrum of iridescent colors. They are the largest pearls in the world, and are highly sought-after, as they are the rarest pearls in the world and were only made popular around the 1950’s. They are grown in French Polynesia and are bead-grown, but have extremely thick nacre compared to Akoya pearls. The pearl measures 10 mm x 11 mm, including its drop point. Grade AAA . The pearl itself weighs 1.7 grams; the 14k gold chain weighs 1.05 grams. In total, the necklace weighs 2.75 grams. The chain is 16” and is marked as 14k.

  • 14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
    Located in Venice, CA
    At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly. The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount. The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance. The necklace is circa 1890’s. Kirsten’s Corner has added an antique platinum chain...

  • 14K Gold Edwardian Pearl and Sapphire Crescent Moon Pendant
    Located in Venice, CA
    This elongated crescent moon contains graduated alternating pearls and sapphires. The pearls are half-drilled and attached with a post from the back, while the sapphires are bezel set into gold settings that appear cup-like when viewed from the side. The sapphires are a dark shade of blue and have minor inclusions that indicate they are natural. The cut of the sapphires is an old cut with high tables—a beautiful cut with lots of the depth that reveals the age of these antique gemstones. Celestial jewelry was popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This piece was originally a pin; we converted it to have a 14k gold bail and jump ring that allows it to dangle. We love that within this crescent moon, the dark blue of the sapphires evoke a midnight sky. A wonderful celestial piece that conveys moon, stars, and sky. The pendant weighs 4.5 grams and acid tests as 14k. At 3 1/8”, it has a nice long length, and is 1/8” thick. The bail is 5 x 7 mm. There are 12 sapphires that range in size from 2.75 - 1.25 mm and equal 1.25 carats. The 13 pearls range in size from 3.5 - 2.4 mm. The long length and shape of the crescent moon fit nicely next to other pendants, making this a great piece for stacking. It’s shown here with other celestial pieces, also available in our shop.
