Catalogue Essay
The body colour of both cultured and natural pearls is determined by the species mollusks or sea animals in which they are formed. Some unusual shades, such as orange, pink and green are rather difficult to obtain, hence the common treatment process which involves dyeing. This strand of cultured pearls that assembles some of the most remarkable colours is, however, completely free of such enhancement. The perfectly-matched rounded shape and high luster adds to the allure and rarity of this piece of jewel.
