The Beauty of Tahitian Pearl Necklace

The Tahitian oyster Pinctada Magaritifera, which is responsible for producing the world-famous black pearl, first appeared on the market in the 1970s. Their vivid greens with pink undertones conjure up visions of tropical sunsets over calm seas and idyllic beaches. Those who adorn themselves with these stunning sea treasures radiate an aura of health and beauty.

Colors

Large aquatic gems of various shades of blackish green. Peacock, aubergine, and pistachio are the primary hues. These oysters can also show off a wide range of other colors, including avocado, cherry, blueberry, gray-green, and silver.

Sizes

The sizes are between 6.0 mm and 14.0 mm. Occasionally, a pearl of 18.0 millimeters will form in an oyster. As of 1998, the largest ever recorded was 26.95 mm. These pearls can be found in round, symmetric, and even baroque shapes (odd-shaped.

Shapes

Circle pearls, another variety of Tahitian pearls, are distinguished by concentric circles surrounding their pearly bodies. While pearls are being formed inside the oyster's gonad, the oyster creates these rings (pearl sac).

Necklaces

Peacock, platinum (silvery white), golden Champaign, and even the unusual pistachio and blue can be found in massive necklaces of round and baroque jewels with 14 k gold ball clasps. Many different shades or variants of these exist. Multicolored strands are also an option. Our baroque pearls come in such a wide range of shapes and sizes that they are combined in unexpected ways to create truly unique displays.

A new chocolate version of these necklaces is also available. A beautiful 18-inch graduated Tahitian chocolate rose gold necklace with pearls ranging in size from 10.5 to 14.0 mm and finished off with a 14-karat gold ball clasp. We stock multiple strands of these massive pearl chokers.

One of our favorite pieces of jewelry is a Tahitian pendant in the shape of a golden dolphin with a diamond-encrusted tail fluke, a black pearl, and a south sea golden pearl. This south sea pearl, a peacock Tahitian teardrop measuring 16.0 mm and capped with a 14-karat gold pineapple, is a thing of beauty. Also among our finest offerings is a 14-karat gold octopus that has been painstakingly sculpted. This aquatic creature has two tiny diamonds for eyes and eight tentacles with which it holds a beautiful peacock pearl. In addition to the enormous silvery white south sea pearl and the Tahitian chocolate pearl, you can also get this pendant with those other two types of pearls.

Diamond Necklace Trends: From Past to Present

Diamonds, whether petite or obscenely large, pear-shaped or princess cut, have an enduring beauty that is well-suited to necklaces. After all, it's here that they can do the most for the wearer's lady parts. For as long as the glittering stones have been fashioned into pendants, there have been designs and styles that have been chosen over others. Getting to know the intriguing history of diamond necklace fashion requires more than just knowing the difference between vintage and vintage-inspired pieces. Inquisitive purchasers, please take note of the following crucial time frames.

Georgian

Georgian jewelry was popular from the early 1800s through the mid-1800s. Items from this era tend to be more valuable because of the fact that they were all hand-made and, thus, one-of-a-kind. Classical designs like laurels, wreaths, repetitive patterns, and miniature portraits were frequently featured on short necklaces. Georgian jewelry is highly sought after due to its rarity and uniqueness in design; examples include pieces set with rose diamonds, garnets, and topaz.

Victorian

From 1840 until roughly 1900, during Queen Victoria's reign, the Victorian era produced opulently fashioned pieces, such as diamond pendants, that are eye-catching and ornate. For many women shopping for jewelry, attention to detail is a deal breaker. Vintage Victorian jewelry is very charming because of its vivid colors, dazzling gemstones, and intricate gold filigree.

Art Noveau

Art Nouveau fashions, popular from the 1890s until around 1915, were characterized by an Asian influence, a profusion of whimsical flora and animals, and a general lack of realism. Originating in France, this trend highlighted products with earthy tones and flowing, organic lines rather than flashy embellishments. It's not impossible to track down a diamond Art Nouveau necklace, but it's not easy, either.

Edwardian

The late Victorian era (1890–1910) and the early Art Deco era (1910–1920) were both opulent times, but the Edwardian period was one of the greatest for diamonds because designers put the spotlight on colorless diamonds and used other precious and semi-precious stones as accents. Edwardian jewelry is instantly recognizable for its intricate filigree work.

"Art Deco"

Diamond necklaces from the Art Deco period, one of the most famous jewelry, are typically very lengthy and feature geometric designs, Egyptian motifs, or African themes. They are adorned with precious metals, semiprecious gems, and even glass beads, and frequently feature dazzling stone pairings for an abstract visual impact.

Retro

The last significant time frame was the Retro era. Retro, which peaked in the 1930s and faded by the 1950s, was an opulent and irreverent style that placed special attention on semiprecious stones. The availability of large diamonds has decreased, yet diamond necklaces with gold, elaborate designs, and semiprecious stones are still common.
