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 yellow 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.
