Ondina Freshwater Pearl Necklace

Sale price$1,290.00 AUD

PEARLS, the aqua-born jewels —
Wayward drops that ebb and flow,
Gleam with dawn’s soft water-light.
Their rhythm, a hymn to water’s grace,
Culminates in Vermilion’s clasp—
of DIAMOND and RUBY, a burning heart.
Ondina.

—Pearl, June [Inspiration, Peace, Creation]


please note: as pearls are strung to your custom length
please allow 5-7 days before dispatch.

In accordance with GIA pearl classification standards and CIBJO 2024 disclosure guidelines, bleaching should now be declared as a routine and traditional treatment. Commonly used for both Akoya and Chinese freshwater cultured pearls, this process gently removes organic surface impurities and enhances colour uniformity — without compromising the pearl’s durability or structure.
