Mermaid Pearl Pendant by St Justin of Penzance

Mermaid pearl pendant

Pewter mermaid holding a cultured freshwater pearl on an 18″  tin-plated snake chain.

Cultured pearls can be divided into salt-water and freshwater varieties, and account for over 95% of world production. Freshwater pearls are grown in mussels when a nucleus of shaped mantle from another mollusc is placed inside. A mussel can grow between 10 and 20 pearls! Traditional metaphysical properties for the June birthstone pearl are modesty, chastity and purity. The pearl is also used to enhance personal integrity.

Width: 15mm Height: 52mm

The venerable alloy of pewter is made of 92% tin, with copper and antimony to harden it and enhance casting. All of our St Justin Pewter products are LEAD FREE.
