AGTA’s June 2024 birthstone feature on pearls showcased our 10–10.9 mm strand that graduates from black Tahitian to white and golden South Sea pearls.
For June, the month of pearls, AGTA gathered birthstone jewels from its members. Our contribution was a 10.0–10.9 mm strand of cultured South Sea pearls that graduates in color from black Tahitian through white to golden South Sea.
Ombré strands like this bring three South Sea pearl colors together in one piece, matched pearl by pearl for size, luster and tone.
