What's the Story?

Hestia is the Greek goddess of the hearth and home, presiding over the cooking of bread and the family meal.åÊ

Freshwater pearls particularly those in unusual shapes are known to be particularly irridescent. This is because the nacre is thick because these pearls have time to form for a long time approximately 3-7 years. 

These pearls are also known as Biwa pearls, named after the original Japanese lake where they were first cultured. This pearl comes from China, the leading place in the world for freshwater pearls. 

Specification

12-12.5mm freshwater white coin pearl; gold plated sterling silver frame; length of 9ct yellow gold chain supplied - 16 inches. 

Note: Each pearl is slightly different in the type of irridescence and there might even be a slight variation of size when compared to the one photographed. The specific details of your pearl will be specified in the certificate that accompanies the pendant.
