This classic island necklace design is sometimes called a “SurferPearl” cord necklace; so named for the fact that surfers originally brought the style back to Hawaii from Tahiti and now you can find these cord necklaces worn everywhere. Although a popular style in the surfing community it is also a great casual look for anyone. The simple style appeals to men and women alike. This is a necklace to wear with a bathing suit, a pair of jeans or any casual outfit. The pearl is a genuine Golden Southsea pearl. Southsea pearls come the waters of Northern Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The pearl used in this necklace is a huge 14mm slightly button-shaped golden pearl with high surface quality. The cord is high grade 2mm natural tan leather cord from Greece tied with sliding knots that adjust from 14.5” to 27” (36cm to 68cm).
This spectacular pair of earrings is part of a set (see below). The huge 11.8 mm matching South Sea golden pearls won’t go unnoticed. The settings are the height of simple beautiful design. Three ribbons of diamond studded white gold wrap around the pearls in a wonderful flowing design. The effect; Magical.
This necklace is a totally unique piece unlike any that you are ever likely to find except at Mermaid Pearls. We hand selected a few giant golden South Sea pearls and asked the best weaver of coconut husk fiber pearl jewelry that we know of to weave some necklaces around them. This necklace was designed so that the pearl is encapsulated in a woven basket thus eliminating the need to drill or glue the pearl as is normally the case with most pearl jewelry. The pearl is a 14-15mm naturally golden color South Sea pearl which many consider to be the Queen of Pearls. There is no doubt that South Sea pearls command the highest prices…and for good reason – they are spectacular. Additionally since Tahitian weavers seldom get their hands on South Sea pearls it is uncommon to find traditional Tahitian weaving done using South Sea pearls. This necklace measures 16 inches and is an ideal length for a woman. The necklace fastens at the back using the traditional interlocking double-loop design typical of this style.
