Three Row Large Cultured Pearl Necklace with Victorian Cabochon Amethyst & Diamond Clasp

411U
360 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A spectacular necklace that when worn would dazzle!  It is composed of three strands of cultured pearls. The pearls are large  (10 millimetre) and are a well matched creamy white lustrous colour.

Despite their huge price difference, both cultured and natural pearls are real pearls. They are grown from pearl-bearing oysters in either saltwater or freshwater. The pearl formation process is exactly the same for both natural and cultured pearls.

The only difference between the two lies in the external irritant that causes a pearl to form inside the oyster shell. In the case of natural pearls, this external intruder can be a grain of sand or a parasite, and the pearl is formed completely without any human assistance. Whereas for cultured pearls, the irritant is either a piece of tissue from another oyster or a bead that is placed by pearl farmers to encourage the growth of a pearl.

They attach on both sides to a large Victorian clasp that was most likely converted from a brooch. The clasp is magnificent and has a cabochon amethyst in the centre surrounded by old mine cut diamonds with an approximate total weight of three carats.

A fabulous look!
