Christened "Bohéme" by its owner in this year of our Lord 2008...the BEST Cultured Pearl Necklace ever produced in Mexico's Gulf of California. The necklace contains 43 Gem quality pearls in sizes from 8.7 to 12 mm. Pearls from the 2005 to 2008 harvests were needed for its completion. There will be no more necklaces this year...this will be a single child.
The necklace is being displayed in Mexico City while its clasp is being fashioned. Name of owner will not be disclosed.
Hope you like the photos.

That is one matchless necklace, my congratulations. And already sold - even better, though it must have been hard to part with it
