Witte Zuidzeeparel kettingen

witte Zuidzeeparels necklaces showcase the largest commercially-cultured saltwater parels in their classical form. The strands here draw from the zilver-lipped variant of Pinctada maxima, harvested predominantly in Australië and Indonesië. Sizes run from 9mm (delicate, princess-length appropriate) up to 16mm (statement, opera-length suitable). Each ketting is hand-strung with knotted zijde between parels — the traditional method that prevents wear and keeps parels separate if a strand breaks. Lengths omvatten choker (14-16in), princess (17-19in, most universal), matinee (20-24in), and opera (28-34in). Clasps in 18-karaats goud and 925 sterling zilver, some with pavé diamantaccenten. witte Zuidzeeparels necklaces are heirloom-kwaliteit — the necklaces women pass to daughters.
