Vintage Purple South Sea Cultured Pearl Diamond Platinum Pendant

South Sea pearls are the largest, most beautiful pearls cultured in the modern times. They grow in large oysters in specific parts of the world; the seas around Australia, Indonesia, Myanmar and the Philippines. Some are perfectly round while others take on an irregular shape known as baroque. Only since the 1950's did the pearl industry of the region start to produce larger quantities of the pearls.

Our South Sea pearl pendant is not hallmarked and it tests platinum. It was made sometime in the 1980-90's. The pendant is set with a modern cut diamond estimated to weigh 0.16 carats, colour J and clarity SI. It is set in a fine prong setting. The pearl is 21.7 mm long and 14.4 mm wide at its widest point. Large and utterly gorgeous, it is irregular in size, black/dark grey to stunning purple in colour, with a lustrous, satiny glow and rainbow-coloured, iridescent sheen . A real treasure from the seas ! The pendant including the bale is 33.6 mm long and weighs 4.5 grams. It is in great vintage condition.
