10x8.8mm Gem Baroque Cortez Pearl®
This one-of-a-kind baroque pearl measures approximately 10x8.8mm and comes from the Pteria sterna oyster, native to Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. Completely untreated, this pearl has undergone a simple process: rinsing in water, soaking in mineral oil for six hours, and then drying. It has been half-drilled, so the creation of unique jewelry designs can be effortless.
With its exquisite luster and smooth surface, this pearl showcases the diverse hues typical of Cortez Pearls®. From rosy pinks to purples, greens, blues, and bronze tones, its color spectrum shines from every angle, making it a genuine treasure.
