Rare = Once upon a time, totally round pearls were extremely hard to find and they became the most sought after pearls in the land. With technology what it is today, many people around the globe are engineering totally round pearls, so that they are now very common in some geographic locations.

Circle or ringed pearls are only found in South Sea or Tahitian pearls, and are not among the common shapes that form in pearls. It can take many years of pearl harvesting to collect the 33 pieces that are displayed together in this necklace, and longer to collect the pearls all alike in this uncommon color tone.

It is not often that you will be able to see 33 light-champagne overtone South Sea pearls in this shape all in one place. Posh Pearls would like you to move your mouse over the necklace picture to admire this stunning collection.

History = South Sea pearls were once only worn by royalty, and all shades of golden matching pearls were very hard to find. Pearls were given as gifts, and very special pearls were given as wedding presents in hopes that they would bring prosperity.

From the long-ago days, pearls were thought to have been made by dragon tears that
landed in the ocean. Golden tears were very special icons. Dragon tears in golden tones elevated the status of the wearer within royal households.

Grade = A. Pearls are graded by quality of shine on the nacre (outer-shell) and the nacre ability in light refraction. Grade A is an admirable top ‘A’ rating that will have a soft swirling iridescence showing that will dazzle when light strikes the surface. All South Sea pearls have a very thick nacre, and this is why so many prefer South Sea pearls over all other kinds.

Shape = Circle that are also called ringed pearls. Ringed pearls have concave circles that go around the body of the pearl. Each ringed pearl will be unique, with no two pearls having an exact match in the banding patterns. It is the uniqueness of each pearl that allows for their specialness.

Color = Golden colored pearls in all shades are in high demand today for their ability to appear like magical golden jewelry that is somehow shimmering with an unusual depth-of-color that is produced by the pearls natural opalescence on the very thick South Sea pearl nacre.

Please see the photo again and admire the very pleasing golden glow that this shade of South Sea pearls sends out. The necklace has truly beautiful colorings when seen in person.
