This is perhaps the most extravagant and spectacular piece in the Tahizea Collection…but surprisingly its price doesn’t reflect the Wow-appeal of this necklace. This a luxurious assortment of 77 pearls 9-10mm in size along a necklace that measures a full 35.8” (91cm) in length. The pearls are of wondrously diverse colors with green being the dominant color. The pearls are generally off-round and bear the circular markings common to Tahitian pearls. The French-Tahitians call this marking Cirćle and feel that it gives Tahitian pearls their unique character. This necklace can be worn full “Opera” length. Or doubled up (or double up and twisted) for a dramatic two-strand look. The clasp ads to the class of this piece depicting two Tahitian motu or islets. The “islet” rings join when slid together at the point of a narrow slit in each ring. Pearls are unique, each one a distinct individual. The pearls in your piece may not match exactly the pearls shown in the photography. Consistent with the current fashion trend, the pearls chosen for this piece will always be un-matching.
For those who prefer a shorter necklace, the HEIMITI Necklace provides the answer. This necklace is like the longer TOPARA nui Necklace only shorter. Thirty-one 9-10mm Tahitian pearls grace this necklace. The clasp like those used on all the TOPARA necklace and bracelet is style after the “motu” or small islets and atolls of French Polynesia. Slide the two rings together at the point where two narrow slits in each ring meet. This necklace is 15” (38mm) so that it hugs close to the neck. Pearls are unique, each one a distinct individual. The pearls in your piece may not match exactly the pearls shown in the photography. Consistent with the current fashion trend, the pearls chosen for this piece will always be un-matching.
This stunning 16 inch black pearl necklace features 8-9mm semi-baroque pearls of various colors ranging from shades of green to silver and grey with some having hints of purple (aubergine) and copper. The stylish clasp, made of gold-plated sterling silver, is not only very attractive but very secure and easy to get on and off. Tahitian cultured pearls are grown in black-lip oysters (Pinctada Margaritifera) in the pristine blue lagoons of the atolls in the Gambier and Tuamotu archipelago. The process requires constant vigilance and is fraught with risk. Only a relatively small percentage of the oysters make it to adulthood, survive the cultivation process and produce a high-quality pearl. These rare beauties are truly a gift from God.
