Description: AB12-13mm Tahitian pearl | Brown Leather 16″-40cm | Solid 14k gold clasp bail.

Our Soul necklace is the 14k gold version of our silver Identity necklace. Deliberately simple, its design exalts the distinctive beauty and aura of a stunning Tahitian pearl. 

According to history and the myths, these lustrous black pearls are symbolic of wisdom gained through experience. It is captivating how a pearl starts as a simple grain of sand (round shell or bead in the case of cultured pearls) inside an oyster that will eventually be transformed into a precious gem. 

These pearls are parented by the rare black-lipped oyster, Pinctada Margaritifera, and they can range from gray to charcoal with blue, green and pink overtones. Those pearls formed near to the inner shell are darker, while those formed further away are a lighter gray or silver.  

(*) All of our pieces are handmade using cultured gems from the French Polynesian lagoons.
