Minimalist Freshwater Pearl Drop Necklace in Sterling Silver

One pearl, dropped from a fine box chain. This pearl drop necklace is the plainest piece in the collection, and that is the point: a single freshwater pearl, left to sit against the collarbone without anything competing for attention.

Metal and Plating

The chain and setting are 925 sterling silver. Plating is offered in sterling silver or 14K gold, so the piece can be matched to the rest of your jewelry. The chain is a box style, which holds its line rather than twisting, and it closes with a spring ring clasp.

Size

The necklace measures about 16 inches with a 2 inch extender chain. The extender allows the pearl to sit a little lower when a neckline calls for it, and it also helps when the necklace is worn with a layered stack.

A "bridal" piece in the plainest sense: one stone, one chain, nothing added that a photograph would date later.

The Pearl

The pearl is a natural freshwater pearl. Because each one forms inside the mollusk, size, shape, color, luster and surface texture vary slightly from piece to piece. Those differences are expected and are part of what makes a single pearl necklace distinct.

Wearing It

The design suits a wedding party, a formal outfit, or a plain sweater on an ordinary day. It layers without crowding and reads as finished on its own.

Care

Keep the necklace away from perfume, hairspray and household cleaners, and wipe the pearl with a soft cloth after wearing. Store it flat in its box so the surface stays smooth.

The pearl is set into the chain last, and the finished necklace is boxed for gifting.
