£85.00 GBP
Pickup currently not available
Ocean Thread
A softly sculptural choker featuring a dense circled 9-9.5mm green Tahitian pearl at its centre, flanked by a strand of white 3.5mm baroque seed pearls. Ocean Thread is finished with a sterling silver clasp and extension, combining texture and contrast in a whisper-light design.
The sea does not need to shout. Ocean Thread is a quiet story in curves and contrast - a single circled Tahitian pearl strung along a thread of tiny baroque seed pearls, echoing the rhythm of tide and moon.
At its centre lies a 9-9.5mm Tahitian pearl, dense with natural circled banding and glowing in soft green overtones. Its surface is tactile and true - baroque and unique.
The strand is composed of 3.5mm white freshwater seed pearls, each with gentle asymmetry, glinting with soft white lustre. They lighten and frame the centre like seafoam around a polished stone.
Measuring approx. 39cm with a 5cm sterling silver extension, this choker rests lightly against the collarbone - simple, subtle, and unmistakably ocean-born.

Something about pearls
A little bit more about Tahitian pearl, South Sea pearl, and Keshi from both bivalves (according to GIA)
Although commonly known as Tahitian Black Pearl, its body colour varies from silver to black to green to purple, with multiple coloured overtone which not seen in other pearls from the same oyster family. From Pinctada margaritifera (black-lipped pearl oyster), Tahitian pearls are cultivated primarily around the islands of French Polynesia (the most familiar of which is Tahiti), these saltwater cultured pearls usually range from white to black. Other colours include dark metallic greens and purples (sometimes called aubergine). The usual size is about 8 mm to 17 mm, although larger pearls exist in limited quantities. (GIA: These overtones and/or secondary hues may be green, pink, purple, or a combination of colours leading to such exotic and descriptive terms as “Peacock,” “Aubergine,” or “Pistachio.” On rare occasions, white, brown, and yellow primary bodycolours with a range of overtones may also be found.)
South Sea pearls have much softer but equally shiny body colours of white, cream, silver, or golden. Produced by Pinctada maxima mollusk, commonly referred to as the “South Sea pearl oyster,” is the largest of the Pinctada genus. It has 2 common forms: Silver-lipped and gold-lipped, producing the white body-coloured pearls and golden body-coloured pearls.
There are bead-cultured pearl and non-bead-cultured pearl, also known in the trade as Keshi (Japanese for “poppyseed”) Pearls from both of the Pinctada genus, formed without being intentionally nucleated in mollusks while undergoing pearl cultivation, resulting an accidental non-bead-cultured pearl. Although a by-product, Keshi is a wonder of nature in its own right, and is valuable and in demand.
