{"title":"12-14Mm Tahitian Necklaces","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ssp-programmatic-page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ssp-founder-commentary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 12-14mm, these Tahitian pearls represent a specific point in the Pinctada margaritifera harvest spectrum. The pieces in this collection are hand-graded against the AAA-AA-A scale: surface clean to 95%+ for AAA, 85%+ for AA, with mirror luster the defining marker of AAA. Strands and pendant necklaces in classic lengths (collar, choker, princess, matinee, opera, rope). Hand-knotted between pearls with silk thread — the traditional method that prevents wear and keeps pearls separate if a strand breaks. Tahitian pearls range $80-2,000+ per pearl depending on size, grade, and overtone; the deepest peacock and silver-blue tones command 20-40% premium. Sourcing: direct from oyster farms in French Polynesia. Each necklace ships with our certificate of authenticity and origin notation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ssp-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre Tahitian pearls naturally dark?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
