18K Yellow Gold Akoya Pearl Tree Branch Brooch Pin

Turn the branch in the light and the hammered gold catches unevenly, each facet of the finish reflecting at a slightly different angle rather than one smooth sheen. Five Japanese Akoya cultured pearls sit along its length in cup settings, each one 5.5-6.0mm, rated high-luster with clean surfaces and good uniformity across all five.

The piece is crafted in 18K yellow gold. Pearl nacre is medium, the layered material that gives these pearls their glow and also makes them softer than mineral stones, worth keeping away from perfume and household cleaners.

Good to Know

Five Japanese Akoya pearls with high luster and clean surfaces give the branch consistent shine.
18K yellow gold construction with a hammered finish adds texture rather than a flat, smooth surface.
The cup settings show off each pearl fully, rather than concealing part of it.
Pearls sit softer than mineral gemstones and need to be kept away from perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products.
