Entry-level Strand | Natural Saltwater Pearl | Akoya | Iridescent | Necklace

● Basic Information / Material: Saltwater Pearl + S925 Silver 14K Gold Filled / Designer: Ms. Saori / Design Location: Tianjin, China / Production Location: Beihai, China ● Design Inspiration In Japan, parents often gift a strand of Akoya pearls to their daughters upon coming of age as a traditional rite of passage. Sourced from the temperate waters of Japan's Seto Inland Sea, these Akoya pearls exhibit a lustrous sheen with iridescent undertones. Each pearl, measuring 7-8mm in diameter, is meticulously strung in sequence, connected by a classic Japanese-crafted S925 silver 14K gold-filled clasp. Measuring approximately 45cm, this classic length is perfect for individual wear or can be layered with other fine jewelry for a personalized style. Under natural light, each Akoya pearl reveals its unique iridescence, boasting a fine, smooth luster and a translucent quality with minor imperfections, reflecting light like a mirror—truly captivating beauty. This "entry-level" collection maintains the aforementioned qualities but may feature slight blemishes or growth lines, imperceptible at a social distance, while offering a more accessible price point. It represents an excellent value for everyday wear of Akoya pearl strands. ● Athena Pearl Design / About the Design All pieces from Athena Pearl Design are original creations by independent designer Ms. Saori, crafted with passion and dedication. Some are meticulously handmade by the designer, while others are brought to life by emerging manufacturers. Most items are one-of-a-kind, reflecting our commitment to niche, customized jewelry. We strive to offer you unique pearl accessories at more attainable prices. / About the Materials The main stones in Athena Pearl Design creations are natural pearls, occasionally complemented by natural gemstones. Silver-tone metal components are S925 sterling silver, while pale gold-tone metal components are 14K gold-filled or gold-plated brass. True beauty arises from nature; each pearl and natural gemstone bears its own unique growth marks. While exquisitely beautiful, they are not flawless, and slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. Handmade fine jewelry also allows for minor differences in size and finish, which are the charming characteristics of natural jewelry and artisanal craftsmanship. Please note that colors may appear slightly different due to lighting and monitor settings. We kindly ask for your understanding and acceptance before placing an order. / About Operations We operate with a mindful approach, prioritizing authenticity over aggressive marketing. We do not engage in advertising, fake reviews, or embellishments. Imperfections are not concealed, and negative feedback is not removed. Ms. Saori's primary focus is design, and she is available to discuss your needs during her design process. If you seek beauty, we will respond with exquisite artistry. / About Packaging In line with our commitment to sustainable living, all pearl creations are presented in eco-friendly display cases/bags, protected by bubble wrap and a small cardboard box. This packaging ensures protection against dust, moisture, impacts, and vibrations. Multiple items will be consolidated into a single package. If you require special gift packaging, please contact the designer. / About Warranty All items come with a one-year free warranty. For customers who provide us with positive feedback and encouragement, we offer a lifetime free warranty for repairs such as dropped pearls, bent earring posts, or accidental damage. Please note that return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. / About Shipping Enjoy complimentary SF Express shipping within mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau as a special offer.

It is advisable not to wear them during exercise, bathing, or sleep. Silver jewelry naturally oxidizes and darkens over time; this is a characteristic of the metal and can be restored to its original shine by polishing with the included silver polishing cloth. Should you have any questions regarding maintenance, please feel free to contact the designer at any time.
