Handmade in Munich. €6,500, one-of-a-kind piece.

Frequently asked questions
Are Tahitian pearls dyed?
No. The colour lies in the nacre of the black-lip oyster itself and ranges from grey through green and peacock blue to aubergine. Dark pearls offered at a much lower price are usually dyed freshwater or Akoya pearls.
Why is 12.5 mm special?
Pearl size depends directly on how long the pearl is cultured. Every extra millimetre costs years and raises the risk that the oyster rejects the nucleus. Large pearls with an even surface are correspondingly rare.
How do I care for the necklace?
Last on, first off. Perfume, hairspray and acids attack the nacre. Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. Never put it in an ultrasonic cleaner.
