Cultured Sea of Cortez Mabe Pearl Necklace, Silver (SoCN26)
$750.00
This cultured mabe pearl was created by the rainbow lipped oyster, and grown on a pearl farm in Mexico in the Sea of Cortez. Set in a handcrafted chunky bezel of fine silver, this necklace also has a sterling silver Funky Link chain attached. Cortez Pearls is a very small sustainable pearl farming operation and it produces some of the rarest cultured pearls in the world. I work directly with the farm, as well as their USA supplier (Columbia Gem House) to source these unique treasures. They are sourced directly from the farm and each year I review the new harvest during the Tucson Gem Shows. Total length of the necklace is about 17.75 inches and it can be adjusted by attaching the lobster clasp to any link. The chain is made from 22g sterling wire and has been soldered and hand shaped into an elongated link. The colors on the cultured mabe pearl are natural and show a very strong pink color.

Can I return earrings?
Due to hygienic reasons, earrings cannot be returned and are considered to be an intimate item.
Can you send me additional photos?
Absolutely! I love to share photos of my work. Whether you purchase your cultured Tahitian pearls from me, or from any other vendor, always ask for additional photos in natural indirect daylight, indoor lighting, etc. Tahitians can look much different under different lighting conditions. I do use a lightbox to photograph my offerings, however, I also try to include at least one natural lighting shot in each listing.
Why do my pearls look different than the colors in your photos?
Lighting plays an important role when viewing cultured Tahitian pearls. It is best to examine your new piece under natural, indirect lighting (next to a covered window) on a white surface, like a paper towel or tissue. Direct sunlight will show luster, but indirect lighting will highlight the overtones.
How do I care for my new cultured pearl jewelry?
Cultured Tahitian pearls require a bit of special care. Please store them in a soft cloth pouch, or in a velvet lined jewelry drawer. Do not store them with other items, especially hard stones like diamonds. Pearls can scratch. Remember that any pearl jewelry should be the very last item you put on before leaving your house. Apply all cosmetics, hair products, and skin care products prior to putting on your pearls. When you take them off, wipe them down with a soft terry cloth or micro fiber cloth (those glasses microfiber cloths are great!) The nacre on cultured Tahitian pearls is much thicker than other types of pearls, so they can be worn without worry.
How often should I have my cultured Tahitian pearls restrung?
Your new strand of cultured Tahitian pearls should be inspected periodically. If you wear them often (believe me, you will want to wear them!) have them restrung at least once a year. Look for signs of thread wear like frayed knots, loose knots, or broken thread.
Why are cultured Tahitian pearls so expensive?
When creating finished jewelry, many factors are considered in pricing. Each oyster can be implanted with only one nucleus at a time. It is incredibly labor intensive, and not always successful. Cultured Tahitian pearls receive no treatments, other than drilling. They are rare gems from the sea, cultivated by man.
Are you available for trunk shows?
I am absolutely available for trunk shows, in home shows, and other collaborations!
Shipping charges? International Buyers please take note: Declared Value will be listed as the purchase price only; It is a violation of US law to under value an item on a customs form.

Note to international buyers: all taxes, duty, and vat charges are buyer's responsibility; please note that I do not accept forced returns for non payment of customs fees; US law requires that I declare actual value of an item on all customs forms, and actual value will be reported.
