Natural Saltwater Pearls | Tahitian Black Pearls | Color Variation | Necklace

● Basic Information / Material: Saltwater Pearl + S925 Silver / Designer: Ms. Shiori / Design Location: Tianjin, China / Production Location: Beihai, China ● Design Inspiration: Tahitian black pearls are a specialty of the lagoons in French Polynesia, distinct from Japanese pearls and South Sea pearls, making them exceptionally precious and earning them the titles "Queen of Pearls" and "Pearl of Queens." Cultivating Tahitian black pearls is challenging; the process of nurturing the pearl oysters is long and prone to mortality, and factors like weather and water quality make the finished product extremely rare. In the South Pacific, between Australia and South America, lies a chain of coral islands. This region is abundant with "black-lipped" pearl oysters, mollusks that secrete grey and black nacre. Legend has it that Oro, the god of peace and abundance, descended to earth on a rainbow and presented the Te Ufi pearl oyster to humankind. Another legend tells of Oro gifting the pearl from the oyster to the beautiful princess Bora Bora as a symbol of his love. Yet another story claims that the coral spirit Okana and the sand god Uaro bestowed a colorful robe upon the Te Ufi pearl oyster, allowing it to shimmer with the myriad colors of the fish in the Polynesian waters. Ms. Shiori has meticulously selected 38 Tahitian black pearls, each with a diameter of 9.5-12mm, and strung them in sequence to create a necklace approximately 44cm in length. This arrangement forms a vibrant spectrum of black, with a total weight of about 66.0 grams. The Tahitian black pearls are large and round, with a fine luster, exhibiting a rich array of colors including peacock green, peacock blue, platinum grey, mystic purple, and iridescent hues. Their rarity and mystique evoke awe at the power of nature and the brilliance of the cosmos. Ms. Shiori has complemented these pearls with a simple S925 silver ingot clasp, adding a touch of dignified grace while ensuring comfort. Although each pearl may inevitably have minor imperfections such as soft indentations, these do not detract from their overall beauty and are imperceptible at social distances. They can be paired with all your professional attire and casual wear, expressing both intellect and mystery, showcasing scarcity and sophistication. ● Athena Pearl Design / About the Design All pieces from Athena Pearl Design are original creations by independent designer Ms. Shiori, crafted with thought and care. Some are meticulously handcrafted by the designer, while others are produced using molds by emerging manufacturers. Most items are available in limited stock, essentially small-batch, custom pieces.

Silver-toned metal accessories are S925 silver, and light gold-toned metal accessories are 14K gold-plated or copper gold-plated. Natural beauty arises from nature; each pearl and natural gemstone carries its own unique growth marks. While they are luminous and beautiful, they are not perfect, and slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. Light jewelry pieces, being handmade, cannot be replicated with 100% accuracy in size and finish. This is precisely the charm of natural jewelry and handcrafted items. Furthermore, due to lighting and monitor variations, the actual product may differ slightly from your imagination. Please place your order only if you can accept these nuances.
