Mabe pearls are the half pearls embedded in the black oyster.  When selecting my mabe in shell, I look for the “firey highlights of purple and pink” and interesting patterns.  The sterling silver prongs are fabricated especially for this mabe then irregular Kishi fresh water pearls “frame” the pendant.  Wear this to your next “island”, statement “I am unique”, or “feminine frills” event!  The necklace is slightly adjustable via sterling silver chain and lobster clasp from 19-20 inches.
