This stunning blue Sea of Cortez pearl is part of the pearl farm's exclusive true blue national selection of gem quality choice pearls from the 2008 harvest. This is in fact the only singleton true blue Sea of Cortez pearl in all Europe. The whole harvest produced only 247 national selection pearls
The pearl measures 9.6mm by 12mm and is baroque. It most resembles the shape of a comice pear.
The pearl has been carefully set on a 14 ct gold enhancer fitting for versatility. It can be worn as a stunning solitaire or as a drop to a pearl or other necklace.
In sunlight the pearl shows its deep mid blue colouration (best in bright but overcast diffuse conditions) while some artificial lights produce a green to pink colouration.
The surface is flawless  with only a slight wrinkle near to the top

Sea of Cortez pearls are extremely rare. After a long hiatus production only re-started at the turn of the millenium. Perlas del Mar de Cortez is the only marine cultured pearl farm in the Western hemisphere. There are about 200 thousand Pteria sterna, a pearl oyster known locally as "Concha NĂ¡car", grown in a suspended culture system. The farm produces only three to four kilos of  pearls a year.
Pearls are grafted at about two years old and harvested at four. This pearl is a first graft pearl.
The nacre will be between .8 and 2.3mm thich. Pearls range from 8mm to 14mm.Only 5% of each year's harvest are pearls over 10mm
The pearls are not treated in any way. After harvest they are simply washed in freshwater and gently patted dry.
A unique feature of Cortez pearls is that they glow red under long ultraviolet lighting.
This pearl comes to you direct from the pearl farm and you are welcome to check the provenance with Perlas del Mar de Cortez.
