Australian South Sea pearls have both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey grow in the \u003cem\u003ePinctada maxima\u003c\/em\u003e, the largest of the pearl-bearing oysters, in Australian waters. Over the course of several years, the oyster coats the nucleus layer by layer in nacre, forming pearls with a diameter few varieties can match, luminous white with silver reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis necklace brings together 86 of them, measuring 9 to 11.2 mm, each chosen individually so they read as a single whole: very round and with very high luster. Finding so many South Sea pearls that match in luster, shape, and tone is a slow search: the more pearls a necklace has, the harder it is to find ones that don't disrupt the overall look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 90 cm, it can be worn long or doubled around, like a double-strand necklace close to the neck. A piece that goes just as well with an evening dress as with a white shirt, designed to be worn for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe grade it factor by factor according to our scale: AAA for luster, shape, color, and matching, and AA+ for surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe necklace shown in the photos and video is exactly the one you will receive.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVery high luster.\u003c\/strong\u003e Luster is the clarity with which a pearl's surface reflects light, and for us it is a pearl's most important quality. This necklace has very high luster: each pearl shows a crisp reflection and a light that seems to come from within the nacre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVery round pearls.\u003c\/strong\u003e In South Sea pearls, round is the rarest and most sought-after shape. The pearls in this necklace are very round and roll naturally in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarefully matched.\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching means bringing together pearls that resemble one another in color, luster, and shape, so the necklace reads as a single piece. Here, throughout the 90 cm length, no pearl disrupts the overall look, and the color, luster, and surface are very well matched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite with a silver overtone.\u003c\/strong\u003e An overtone is the hue that floats over a pearl's base color. The overtone on these pearls is a light silver. Some also show a very subtle pink, visible only in certain lighting and at certain angles; in other light, the necklace simply looks white with a slight silver sheen. It is a tone very characteristic of white South Sea pearls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong or doubled around.\u003c\/strong\u003e Worn long, it falls below the chest, moves with the body, and elongates the silhouette. Doubled around, it becomes a double-strand necklace of about 45 cm, with the pearls in two strands close together around the neck: a more compact, formal effect. Two pieces of jewelry in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall marks.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pearls grow inside living oysters, and their surfaces almost always bear some trace of this process. The pearls in this necklace have tiny natural marks: visible when you examine them up close with the necklace in your hand, but difficult to make out from the distance at which jewelry is usually viewed when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you like, you can request a Virtual Appointment and we'll show it to you up close and under different lighting.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilk-knotted, with your choice of clasp.\u003c\/strong\u003e We assemble the necklace by hand, separating each pearl with a knot in silk thread. This prevents the pearls from rubbing against one another and, if the thread ever breaks, keeps them from all coming loose. You can choose a clasp in 18-karat yellow or white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSelection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMiguel Carabel, founder of SY Perlas and a GIA graduate in pearls, personally selects every necklace. We buy directly from producers, and only 5% of harvested pearls meet our standards. Behind this approach are three generations devoted to pearls since the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SY Perlas","offers":[{"title":"18K Yellow Gold","offer_id":57462924247380,"sku":null,"price":13290.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"18K White Gold","offer_id":57462924280148,"sku":null,"price":13290.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1843\/7219\/files\/Collar_australianas_90_cm_Oro.jpg?v=1791448509","url":"https:\/\/syperlas.com\/en\/products\/round-australian-pearl-necklace-9-11-2-mm-aa-aaa-90-cm","provider":"SY Perlas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
