Introducing a super rare five-strand freshwater pearl necklace. 《Why it's super rare》 Currently, 99% of freshwater pearls sold in jewelry stores are from China. Freshwater pearls cultivated in Japan account for less than 1% of the freshwater pearls in circulation. They are cultivated in very small quantities, such as in Lake Biwa. This freshwater pearl necklace uses the Japanese native species, the Ikekyo shell, as the mother shell. Currently, the mother shells used for cultivation in Japan are hybrids of the Ikekyo shell and the Hirakechou shell (a native species of China). Therefore, this freshwater pearl necklace is made from freshwater pearls born from a mother shell that is no longer cultivated. It will become increasingly difficult to obtain in the future. It is a very rare item. - Material: Freshwater pearl (Japanese native species: Ikekyo shell as the mother shell) Purely made in Japan. - Design: 5-strand necklace - Length: Approximately 50cm - Clasp: Decorative clasp (silver, insert type) Thank you for viewing. ※Please feel free to contact us with any questions. m(_ _)m Color: White系 (White-based) Material: SV925 Scratches/Discoloration: None
