This large pendant abalone pearl is attached to a 1/2 oz solid 14 kt gold jewel clasp. Custom designed by my dive buddy, Randy Shores, an accomplished goldsmith. The pendant has nacre, the pearl color, on only one side. The other side is like a shell covered in thick rich varnish. Like the outer edge of pearl. The pearl weighs 4 grams. It is about the size of an old silver dollar. A little larger than the picture. It is for sale for 2k. Chain not included.
