A heaping helping of French Polynesian beads, but the price tag would be enough to ruin your appetite. So we asked our bioscientists to replicate the look, feel, weight and luster of those exotic and pricey ocean baubles. They started with the "seed" of a pearl from a fresh oyster shell. Then they enhanced the seed with organic microcoatings based on the nacre of the oyster, creating a better, rounder and larger sphere. And to our delight, they've served up a beautiful spread of "French Polynesian"s in our richest assortment of colors yet.

Our 18" multi-colored French Polynesian strand combines luminous hues including champagne gold, deep chocolate, cool grey and buttery clamshell, each an impressive 12mm beauty. Individually handknotted, the necklace secures with a sterling silver globe clasp, encrusted with lab-created DiamondAura™. After such a delectable meal, why not indulge in dessert? We recommend a pair of 12mm chocolate French Polynesian earrings, with sterling silver post-backs. We won't tell anyone if you're tempted to order seconds. Bon appetit!
