Freshwater Grey Pearl Necklace
Freshwater Grey Pearl Necklace
Material : Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater cultured pearls are rarely perfect spheres as there is no mother-of-pearl bead guiding the shape. But they are available in very near round sizes that appear round to the human eye.
This gorgeous 8.5-9 mm pale grey necklace is strung with premium quality Freshwater Pearls, all of which have been carefully hand-selected to meet the most rigorous matching standards in regards to pearl colour, surface, lustre, shape and size. Each pearl has a nearly unblemished surface, high lustre and as near as perfect round shape, and features a grey body colour with silver overtones.
This is the most popular classic pearl shape on the market and this cultured Freshwater Pearl necklace is stunning and is exceptional value for money. It is suitable for both casual and formal wear, and lends a subtle statement of beauty and elegance to any attire.
The pearls are grade to a premium pearl rating and measure approximately 47 cm, each pearl on this strand is individually hand strung using matching silk thread, knotted between the pearls to ensure that your pearls are not damaged by rubbing against each other, and affixed with a beautiful sterling silver clasp.
This necklace has been hand knotted in the UK by one of our dedicated designers.
What Is a Freshwater Pearl?
Freshwater pearls are created by using freshwater mussels in lakes, rivers and ponds. Most freshwater pearls on the market today come from rivers and lakes in China, although USA and Japan have a small fraction of the market. A freshwater mussel can have up to 50 pearls at a time (compared to the two to five pearls that saltwater oysters can contain).
Jewellery Care
Jewellery Care
- Your jewellery will age and tarnish naturally so if you want to keep your pieces in good condition, clean your jewellery regularly using a professional cleaning product.
- It is also possible to assist with keeping the product in pristine condition by storing your jewellery in separate soft lined boxes or a pouch to keep pieces apart so they don’t rub together.
- Avoid cleaning, gardening and swimming in your jewellery as chlorine in swimming pools can cause damage and erode jewellery. Chemicals such as household cleaning fluids can also cause damage to the jewellery and remove plating.
- Thoroughly dry your jewellery after exposure to water.
- Do not let your jewellery come into contract with nail polish remover, creams, perfumes and hairspray.
