Strand | Natural Saltwater Pearl | Akoya | Queen Gold | Necklace

● Basic Information / Material: Saltwater Pearl + S925 Sterling Silver Clasp / Designer: Ms. Saori / Design Location: Tianjin, China / Production Location: Beihai, China ● Design Inspiration In Japan, it's customary for parents to gift a strand of Akoya pearls to their daughters upon reaching adulthood as a coming-of-age ceremony. This Mother's Day, Ms. Saori was inspired to create a similar Akoya pearl strand as a gift for mothers. Sourced from the temperate waters of Japan's Seto Inland Sea, these Akoya pearls boast a white base with hints of queenly gold. Measuring 6.5-7.0mm in diameter, they are meticulously strung together to form a necklace, fastened with a classic Japanese-designed S925 sterling silver floral clasp. With a total length of approximately 43-44cm, it’s a classic piece that can be worn alone or layered with other fine jewelry for a versatile style. Under natural light, each Akoya pearl displays its unique iridescence with a delicate luster. They are luminous, with minor imperfections, reflecting light like a mirror, creating an ethereal beauty. ● Athena Pearl Design / About the Design All pieces from Athena Pearl Design are original creations by independent designer Ms. Saori, crafted with deep thought and dedication. Some are meticulously handmade by the designer, while others are cast using molds by emerging manufacturers. Most items are available as single, ready-to-ship pieces, reflecting our commitment to niche, customized products. We strive to offer you personalized pearl jewelry at more accessible prices. / About the Materials The main stones in Athena Pearl Design's creations are exclusively natural pearls, often complemented by a selection of natural gemstones. Silver-toned metal components are S925 sterling silver, while pale gold-toned metal parts are either 14K gold-filled or gold-plated brass. True beauty originates from nature; each pearl and natural gemstone carries its unique growth marks. While exquisitely beautiful, they are not perfect, and slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. Similarly, handmade fine jewelry cannot be replicated with 100% exactness in size and condition, which is precisely the charm of natural jewels and handcrafted items. Please note that due to lighting and monitor variations, the actual product may appear slightly different from what you envision. We kindly ask for your understanding before placing an order. / About Our Operations We operate with a philosophy of mindful engagement: no advertising, no fake orders, no ostentatious displays, no hiding imperfections, and no deleting negative reviews.
