Description

A beautiful stand of lavender pink freshwater cultured pearls, hand selected for their high lustre and quality, finished with an 18 carat white gold ball clasp.

The pearls originate from China, where they are farmed in freshwater mussels in lakes. Unlike saltwater cultured pearls, these freshwater pearls do not have a bead nucleus and are made from solid nacre, the mother-of-pearl material that gives a pearl its unique qualities.

The pearls were chosen by Winterson for their slightly darker, bluish pink colour and intense mirror-like shine.

The necklace is made with 8.5-9.5mm diameter pearls, which have a more contemporary and luxurious style than smaller pearls.

Each 45cm princess length necklace is strung by hand, with knots between each pearl for safety, and is completed with an 18 carat white gold ball clasp.

This necklace may be matched with a pair of freshwater pearl earrings.

We will always disclose whether a pearl has been treated for colour.

The lustre of a pearl describes how light is reflected from a pearl's surface. The strength of a pearl's lustre is one of the most important qualities to consider.

The pearls used in our jewellery are graded in accordance with the GIA Pearl Description System. The table describes the different strengths of lustre that are possible.

Each pearl is unique and may often have small blemishes or irregularities on its surface.

The presence of these surface characteristics may add to a pearl's individual beauty but, if significant, could suggest its durability might be affected.

The table describes the different types of nacre quality that are possible.
