Moko Pounamu Australian Black Jade & Tahitian Pearl Pendant - Kairaki
A smaller gorgeous Australian Black Jade Pendant, the stylised leaf shape of this design places a beautiful teardrop-shaped Tahitian Black Pearl at its centre. The Black Jade is finished with a perfect polish, perfectly setting off the iridescence of the Pearl.
Black Pearl- Also known as the Tahitian Pearl, is a cultured pearl which derives its name from the fact that they are cultivated using the black lip oyster, mainly in the islands of French Polynesia near Tahiti. Tahitian pearls come in a range of colors from white to black and can contain various undertones and overtones of green, pink, blue, silver and yellow.
Black Jade
– Australian Black Jade hails from Cowell on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. Coveted globally for its high quality, Australian Black Jade combines beautiful midnight blacks, with a medium to fine grain, allowing the gem to achieve a very high polish, and is sought after by serious carvers. It is still part of the greenstone family, so it will still shine green under bright light.
