This large, faintly green Tahitian pearl bears a pebbled surface like the skin of a lizard, and eight cuts creating two flower-like crosses. The result is a piece with a deeply organic feel, interesting at a distance but much more complex up close. Subtle in color and style, but large enough to catch the eye, it would make a lovely gift for a subtly complex person.

The Knight's Cross pearl necklace is a bead-style Tahitian pearl meticulously sculpted by hand. The Knight's Cross is part of Galatea’s King Pearl Collection.
