This elegant cultured pearl necklace features a strand of shimmering Akoya cultured pearls, for a look that is classic and exquisite. The necklace fastens with an oval-shaped safety clasp of 14 karat gold with a matte finish. Akoya cultured pearls are a popular and traditional choice for pearl strands. These are high-quality gems, known for their smoothness, their near-round shape, and their deep, beautiful luster. The luster, or deep shine of the pearl is the result of the multiple layers of nacre that build up slowly over many months of careful cultivation inside the mollusk. The Japanese Akoya Saltwater pearls in this necklace measure between 6.5 and 7 mm. They have a fine white-rose color with excellent luster and few, if any, visible blemishes.
A classic strand of pearls is a timeless gift, a reflection of beauty, purity, and good taste. It is also one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry a woman can own. It looks sophisticated with professional wear and elegant with evening wear, and the styling is simple and understated enough for everyday wear as well.
