Description

A white saltwater Akoya pearl and diamond pendant from the Classics collection, notable for its beautiful lustre and finished in 18 carat white gold with the accent of a sparkling diamond.

The Akoya pearl is a type of cultured pearl traditionally originating from Japan with a characteristically white colour and pink overtone.

The sharp lustre of this pearl is much admired and reflects the light beautifully. This pendant can easily be matched with a pair of white Akoya pearl earrings and would be a lovely gift or perfect bridal wear.

Set above the pearl in a classic claw setting is a sparkling 0.06 carat diamond.

The 18 carat white gold chain with the pendant is a fine 1mm trace chain and is 45cm in length.

If you would prefer a longer or heavier weight gold chain to match this pendant, please do contact us and we would be pleased to help.

Service rating : Excellent very quick delivery Product : Excellent

Service rating : I feel I had excellent service from Winterson because I was particularly keen to buy an akoya pearl and at the same time, didn't want it to appear too pink. Andrew personally selected a pearl which he felt met my requirements. Product : I really love the pendant. At first I noticed that the chain is very thin but I have got used to this and I wouldn't want a particularly thick chain but it looked very light at first. I really love the diamond and pearl combination, and how they sit together.
