Graduated Golden South Sea Pearl Necklace & Earrings in Champagne Gold, Finished with Diamonds and 18ct White Gold: the Celeste

Celeste — The Rare Beauty of Champagne Golden South Sea Pearls

A beautifully matched strand of fine South Sea pearls is one of the great classics of jewellery. In Celeste, the softly glowing champagne-golden colour, exceptional lustre and graceful graduation of the pearls create a necklace of particular sophistication and style.

Its delicate golden tones are wonderfully flattering against the complexion, while the elegant 17-inch length sits beautifully at the neckline. Worn with evening dress or a simple silk blouse, Celeste has the quiet distinction of fine jewellery designed to be treasured for years.

The Art of a Beautifully Matched Necklace

No two pearls are exactly alike, which makes the creation of a fine graduated necklace an exacting art. Each pearl must be carefully considered for its size, shape, surface, colour and lustre. Many will be set aside before a harmonious strand can be assembled.

The challenge is particularly demanding with Golden South Sea pearls. Their colour can vary from pale champagne to deep gold, and the jeweller must achieve a beautiful consistency of tone and radiance while allowing the pearls to increase naturally in size towards the centre.

Celeste is a lovely expression of this craftsmanship, with pearls graduating from 8.35mm to 12.25mm and displaying excellent lustre throughout.

Golden South Sea Pearls — The Beauty of the Gold-Lipped Oyster

Golden South Sea cultured pearls are produced by the remarkable gold-lipped oyster, Pinctada maxima, which thrives in the warm tropical waters of the South Seas.

The oyster’s golden mother-of-pearl lining is associated with a remarkable range of pearl colours, from the palest champagne to deep, rich gold. The particular appeal of Celeste lies in its delicate champagne shade: warm, luminous and more understated than the deeper golden varieties.

South Sea pearls are prized for their generous size and their distinctive, softly satiny lustre. This beautiful glow comes from the layers of nacre deposited by the oyster during cultivation, a process that typically takes several years.

A fine South Sea pearl necklace depends upon both Nature and the discernment of the pearl jeweller. The beauty of the individual pearls is only the beginning; bringing them together into a perfectly balanced strand is an achievement in its own right.

An Elegant Diamond-Set Clasp and Matching Earrings

The 17-inch (approximately 43cm) necklace is finished with an elegant 18ct white gold clasp, set with 18 natural diamonds totalling 0.11 carats. Its discreet sparkle complements the warmth of the pearls without detracting from their beauty.

The accompanying 10mm Golden South Sea pearl stud earrings, with butterfly fittings for pierced ears, have been selected to complement the necklace and complete the ensemble.
