Pearls: Set Me Off

This one is such a beauty. And a bit of a showboat. No insult intended. To the big pearl. Just being honest. 

While obsessed with pearls pulled from the sea the culturing process continues to fascinate. 

Of course, every process is perfected. With time. But how does one create some 18-inches of black accent pearls that are - to the eye of the human writing this text - identical? In both shape and shine. 

Gold-filled (14k) clasp and separators. Held by a strong strand. Passed the yank test. A few times.
