Striking in both size and character, this 8.0-8.5 mm silver-blue baroque akoya pearl necklace is a rare expression of natural beauty. With their larger-than-usual size and unmistakable silver-blue hue, these pearls offer a refined statement unlike any other. These pearls are cultivated in Japan and owe their color to a rare phenomenon—trace protein becomes trapped between the pearl’s nucleus and growing nacre, creating a naturally occurring silver-blue tone. The color is not only permanent, it’s entirely organic—enhanced by soft overtones and subtle iridescence. Each pearl is baroque in shape, with a one-of-a-kind silhouette that adds dimension and individuality to the strand. Matched for balance, color, and luster, these necklaces are available in 16- and 18-inch lengths. Every strand is hand-knotted on twin silk in our Los Angeles studio and finished with a solid 14 karat white gold clasp and safety hook. At this size, silver-blue akoya pearls are extraordinarily rare. We only offer them when we are able to collect enough of similar tone and character to create a cohesive, beautifully blended strand. The result is a necklace that is timeless, expressive, and utterly unique. Whether worn as a signature piece or part of a collection, this necklace reflects the finest traditions of Japanese pearl farming—along with the magic of nature’s unexpected artistry.
