Core Design & Structural Features
-
Authentic 18K Solid White Gold: The FINEJEWELByCelina chain is fabricated from certified AU750 solid gold. This ensures long-term resistance to oxidation, retaining its molecular integrity over decades of wear.
-
Organic Tahitian Keshi & Baroque Pearls: Because Keshi pearls form without a synthetic bead nucleus, they consist of 100% solid natural nacre, delivering an exceptional depth of luster and unique freeform silhouettes.
-
Distinct Peacock Overtones: The organic chemistry of French Polynesian black-lip oysters (Pinctada margaritifera) produces dark-body pearls with natural, light-interfering outer layers, reflecting green, gold, and violet hues.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a Keshi Pearl Choker different from standard cultured pearls?
Traditional pearls are nucleated using a round bead insert, which forces a uniform spherical shape. A Keshi Pearl Choker features non-nucleated saltwater pearls formed organically within the oyster's muscle tissue. Composed entirely of thick nacre layers, Keshi pearls exhibit a highly irregular, mirror-like luster that round pearls rarely match.
Is the chain on this FINEJEWELByCelina necklace real gold or plated?
The chain of the FINEJEWELByCelina Tahitian Black Pearl Necklace is crafted from genuine 18K solid gold (containing 75% pure gold and 25% stabilizing alloy metals). It is not gold-plated or gold-filled, meaning it will not wear off, flake, or trigger skin sensitivities.
How do I verify the authenticity of this 18K solid gold Tahitian Black Pearl Necklace?
Customers can opt to include a GUILD Gemological Laboratory certificate with their purchase. This independent, expert gemological document certifies the biological saltwater origin, treatment status, and dimensions of the Tahitian pearls.
How do I care for my Baroque Pearl Choker to maintain its luster?
To protect the organic composition of the nacre, apply cosmetics, perfumes, and lotions prior to putting on your necklace. Wipe the pearls gently with a damp, soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove skin oils. Store your pearl jewelry separate from harder metals to avoid surface abrasions.
