Description
Tahitian cultured pearls round semi/round loose, by Riviera Art.
They are available with a single hole (suitable for rings, earrings, pendants) or with a through hole (suitable for necklaces and bracelets). or without hole.
Available in various diameters and quality.
IMPORTANT:
The pearls with a diameter of 13/14 mm are the rarest, in lots that buys the craftsman, so they are not always available.
The holes of loose pearls are made on request and free of charge with a diameter of 0.8 mm. To indicate whether you want single (rings, pendants, earrings) or through (necklaces and bracelets).
The colors of the pearls are absolutely natural and can be divided into light gray, dark gray and black if you have preferences, the craftsman will try as much as possible, to please you.
The luster in the quality B is always very good while in those C / D is normally good.
In the method of evaluation of Tahitian pearls (the best known worldwide along with the GIA) there are only the letters A-B-C-D-E without any plus or minus and without the doubling of the letters (AA or AAA + or even A-).
The luster is evaluated in excellent, very good, good, poor. The minimum diameter of the pearls of Tahiti is 7 mm while the larger ones are 15/16 mm ask me for quotes and I will do everything possible to satisfy you.
All work is done manually in Venice by the craftsman, so it may happen that I can not ship within a day of your request. Normally the shipment is made after 24/48 hours from the order.
The beads engraved with Maori tattoos are made in Papeete by artisans who pass on their traditions. They are quality pearls that must have two years of cultivation with a pearl thickness of at least 0.8 mm in order to highlight the tattoo and hide the core.
