14k Yellow Gold White AA Grade 8.5-9mm Akoya Cultured Pearl Pendant, 18"

Description

Proper care of pearls is not difficult if you remember that they are organic and produced by a living thing. Pearls are soft and delicate, but when cared for with common sense, they will maintain their lustre for centuries. The pearls should not come in contact with cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, chlorinated water, or other harsh chemicals. To keep them clean, let them be the last item put on when dressing, and the first item taken off at the end of an evening. The best way to maintain their lustre is to wear the pearls often, and wipe them down with a soft cloth afterward--pearls absorb the oils from skin, which helps keep them moist. Pearls should be stored in a cloth pouch or jewelry bag, separated from other jewelry to prevent nicks or chipping. Periodically, pearl strands should be restrung since the silk thread used to tie the pearls together breaks down over time.A single pearl is elegant, understated, and absolutely timeless. The perfect complement to any outfit, this pendant highlights a AA grade round Akoya cultured pearl, with a diameter of between 8.5 and 9mm, mounted in a setting of 14 karat yellow gold. The pearl displays a beautiful high luster with only very slight surface markings and has a white color with a hint of rosé. This pendant comes complete with an 18-inch light rope chain.
