The 14K Gold Biwa Pearl & Lapis Lazuli Necklace pairs the soft glow of pearls with deep ocean blue. Lustrous Japanese Biwa pearls and freshwater pearls are hand-knotted with rich lapis lazuli and sparkling faceted pink topaz on pale pink thread, then finished with a solid 14K gold sailor clasp and our 14K gold brand tag.
At 18 inches, it's a one-of-a-kind statement piece that feels both classic and unexpected.
Pearls, Lapis, and a Flash of Pink
Most pearl necklaces stay neutral. This one adds color: lapis lazuli brings a deep, royal blue flecked with gold-toned pyrite, while faceted pink topaz catches the light between the pearls. The pale pink thread softens the contrast and ties it all together.
Why Biwa Pearls
Biwa pearls are freshwater pearls named after Japan's Lake Biwa, once famous for its pearl farming. They're known for their organic, elongated shapes and strong luster, so every strand looks different.
What Is Lapis Lazuli?
Lapis lazuli is a deep blue stone that has been prized for thousands of years, used in ancient Egyptian jewelry and ground into the pigment for Renaissance paintings. Its natural gold-colored flecks come from pyrite.
