Rare and Exceptional Sugilite Makume Pearl 18k Gold Necklace

About the Item

As many have said for millennia, Pearls are already perfect. We don’t think they are wrong. However, there is always room to add. This brilliant necklace a Tahitian pearl is dressed through the maki-e design and mounted with 18k yellow gold bale setting with micro pave diamonds. The chain is 18k gold with 4 tapered barrel sugilite beads (rare in their own right) encased in spun 18k cages along the chain. The pearl slides effortlessly along the chain creating a natural free life movement making it comfortable to wear often and fancy enough to dress up or down. Maki-e pearls are a relatively new addition to the world of pearls, but the Maki-e technique is hundreds of years old. Maki-e are two Japanese words which mean sprinkle (maki) picture (e) and that more or less explains the concept. This is because the technique involves using a very fine brush to paint an image on a lacquered surface, then finishing the design by sprinkling metallic powder, usually gold, platinum or silver, through a special bamboo tube, to add another layer of beauty. Additional ornamentation, such as 'raden' where inlays of Abalone shells or Mother-of-Pearl, can also be added to the lacquer work, to create a shimmering and multi-textured masterpiece. Tahitian pearls artfully decorated with 24K gold powder and abalone shell mosaic are nothing if not exquisite.  Materials - 18K Yellow Gold, 11.6 mm Pearl, VS Diamonds Chain - 18K Yellow Gold, Sugilite, 20"
