The Classic: Pearl Necklace

Pearls add elegance to any occasion, it is just a question of length.

Necklaces are normally made to a standard set of lengths, namely:

• Choker: 35 - 40 cm
• Princess: 45 - 50 cm (standard length)
• Matinee: 50 - 60 cm
• Opera: 70 - 80 cm
• Rope: 80 cm - 1.5 m

Most of the pearl necklaces are made to Princess length, and contains about 50-55 pearls.

Wrapped Loops

Delicately wrapped wire is shaped into loops and individually linked together to create an elegant crystal and pearl necklace. Consider purchasing a matching set with the wrapped loop crystal and pearl earrings

This technique makes the necklace incredibly light and is not suited to long strands that could potentially catch on buttons or for people who fiddle with their jewellery all day (I am just as guilty of this!)

Earrings everywhere

Earrings were the items in production this afternoon, all now waiting to be photographed. All earrings are wrapped at the top to provide an elegant finish.

The flat discs are coin pearls, quite unusual in comparison to nuggets or round pearls. The crystals have a metallic iris shimmer and match the wrapped loop necklace made last year.

Each pair will be put up separately soon.

Pearls and Gemstones

Pearls and gemstones may not be the obvious choice to combine but in this piece, the gemstone chips highlight the colours of the pearls while still keeping the elegance of a knotted pearl necklace.

Chevron Pearls

Pearls are always an elegant addition to an evening outfit. This chevron design adds a little bit of a modern twist to the classic pearl bracelet. The mother of pearl clasp adds a beautiful feature.
