Akoya Pearl & Jade Lariat

Gorgeous 21" 9 mm baroque silver blue Akoya pearl lariat with a spectacular hand carved Gautemalan blue jade drop and bead.

The pearls were drilled larger for application, washed and then strung and knotted on silver silk with 14k handmade yellow gold findings.

One of a kind 

Akoya is a cultured salt water pearl prominently found in Japan and Australia. They are known for their lustre and quality.

Unfortunately, at this time the Japanese Akoya pearl market is in danger due pollution and climate change. The market price of the Akoya pearl has gone up exponentially.
