Hand-Knotted Black Pearl & Amazonite Tassel 1,49m Very Long Lariat Necklace

This beautiful 1,49 metre (149 cm) long strand of natural black freshwater pearls lends elegant drama to any outfit. It is a Lariat style necklace with several ways of wearing it. Created by local jeweller "Afrikay", the pearls and gemstones are carefully sourced, to produce a quality and collectable piece of jewellery. Each pearl is 5,5- 7mm. The colour of the pearl is deep black with fascinating natural rainbow iridescence. The hand-knotted string of pearls leads down to a 6 cm (60 mm) tassel, one at each end of the strand, each tassel created out of eight strands of 3 mm faceted natural earth-mined Amazonite beads, of a strong turquoise blue hue. The actual pearl strand measures 1,37 metres, adding up to 1,49 m with the two tassels. A sterling silver spacer holds each of the tassels. The colour combination and contrast of the black pearl and the bright Amazonite is rather beautiful and elegant. The necklace weighs a solid 81 grams, ensuring that it hangs beautifully. Being hand-knotted, it can be folded easily without danger of breaking the strand, making it perfect for travel. As the models in our photographs show, the necklace can be worn in many different ways: the classic Lariat style - draping the two tassel ends through a loop in the middle of the long strand; or it can be knotted simply and worn as a distinctly elegant, single long strand; or double-looped, or even triple-looped, and worn as a shorter necklace on the collar-bone area. It comes with a "Valuation & Authentication Certificate" of R8'600.
