for a long time, I wanted to have a nice pearl necklac with a red spinel set into the center of the strand. Something like Lady Di's aquamarine choker. My jeweler adviced me to choose pearls no larger than 6 mm, since the spiel is around 3 ct and does not sprea well, but I would like to have a 7-8mm three-stranded necklace which would drape around the neck. Alternative idea is to.simply put a gold divider in the middle of the necklace and attach a "hook" to it so that I could erase a spiel pendant, or other pendants on a bail. I do not yet have the budget in mind. I To pour it simply, I am looking for high-quality Akoya round pearls, with minimal pitting, high luster and thick nacre. I never looked at pearls so I do not quite know what vendors should I look at.
I am educating myself about pearls, but hopefully, one of you had a similar project done? Any advices would be appreciated. I want to have one really good necklace. Thank you.
