    Default Tahitian jumbo pearl

    Here it arrived - my VERY big dark baroque Tahitian pearl. We had to wait for each other almost for two months!

    The pearl is 24x18 mm (!) , has a fantasy form, very nice colours and good luster. Amazing, but for such a big pearl it has only a couple of minor imperfections. The pendant has a magnetic clasp with 18K white gold. It is from VoP Munich.

    The pearl is definitely a wonder of nature - it is the largest I ever saw (but of course many of you, I guess, saw bigger ones...). It is so-o nicely heavy, and in this modern simple design the pendant looks very elegant with any clothing.

    I am happy - just to share

    Olga

    That's huge! And pretty, too. It definitely makes a statement.

    Olga,

    That gorgeous pearl has me drooling! I love the term "fantasy shape" too! I always have my extra brass gauge here by the computer so to properly envision the sizes!

    Pattye, that's an excellent idea - why didn't I think of doing that?!

    Olga, it is stunning. But you know what I am going to ask you for, don't you?

    I love the way it's nestled in the cowl neck, like a frame for artwork. It looks faboo!
