Description

A contemporary and colourful pearl pendant by designer Sophie Breitmeyer featuring a white Akoya pearl suspended within a circle of green tsavorite garnets, set in 18 carat white gold.

Inspired by two fashion trends combining vibrant block colour with classic pearls, this unique collection brings together matching pink, green and blue gemstones with an iconic round white pearl.

The Akoya pearl was one of the first types of pearls to be cultured in Japan and is widely admired for its quality and lustre.

The 18 carat white gold pendant is approximately 2cm in diameter and has been designed to be able to rock slightly from side to side when worn allowing the tsavorite garnets to sparkle and catch the light.

The pendant is finished with a superb 18 carat white gold trace chain, whose shape reflects the symmetry of the tsavorite garnet circle and the pearl. The chain for the pendant is 45cm in length.

The collection has been designed and manufactured to the highest standards for Winterson in the UK.

One of the most unique qualities of a pearl is its colour.

At Winterson we grade the colour of the pearls in our jewellery with the GIA Pearl Description System. The table shows the different colour characteristics that may be displayed by a pearl.

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

Pearl Lustre

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.

Learn more about the different types and qualities of pearls in our Guide to Pearl Grading.

Pearl Surface

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.

We grade the surface of the pearls in our jewellery with the GIA Pearl Description System. The table describes the different types of surface quality that are possible.

Learn more about the different types and qualities of pearls in our Guide to Pearl Grading.

Nacre Quality

Nacre is the unique layered material that gives a pearl its reflective and iridescent properties. A pearl's beauty and value may be determined by the thickness and crystal structure of its nacre.

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