Basile Island Pendant with Abrolhos Keshi Pearl
Basile Island: A Special Place for Founder and Pearl Farmer, Pia Boschetti...
Crafted by one of our expert jewellers, the Basile Pendant is an exquisite representation of the breathtaking Basile Island, nestled within the Abrolhos Islands.
Basile Island, a small gem within the Abrolhos Islands, is steeped in the rich history of Australian crayfishing. Today, it serves as the home base for Pia Boschetti, the founder of Latitude Jewellers, affectionately known as "the girl who grows the pearl." Pia resides here while tending to her pearl farm. Basile Island is vibrant with colourful camps and even has a church where islanders gather for special occasions. The cherished tradition of coffee at 3pm continues to this day. Tour flights frequently pass over the island, drawn by the picturesque collection of colourful camps, or shacks, as the locals call them.
Creating a pendant based on this Island was a must for our Island Bound Collection. This artistic pendant is perfectly complimented with a home-grown Pearl from the Abrolhos Islands and four delicately set Diamonds for an elevated look.
This Basile pendant features:
- 9ct Yellow Gold or Sterling Silver Basile Island pendant
- Abrolhos Island Keshi Pearl,
- 0.02ct Round Brilliant Cut Diamond (Colour: GI, Clarity; SI), bezel set
- Split Wave Bail

Due to the unique nature of our Keshi and Baroque Pearls, each pearl may vary in colour and size. Each Pearl is hand picked by Founder and Pearl Farmer, Pia Boschetti, to deliver a true unique piece of jewellery.
