Freshwater Pearl Necklace Collection
Pearls remain one of the hottest trends today, as they are dramatic and timeless. Our collections of pearl necklaces are not your standard strands of pearls, but feature much more texture, color, and elegance.
Pearl necklaces have the ability to dress up or down any ensemble. Each of our one-of-a-kind handcrafted pearl necklaces feature Keishi pearls in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and lengths.
Pearls work for both day and evening looks, and look fantastic when worn with a V-neck or simple crew top. Pearls in pastel or natural colors are also stylish, ranging from pale pink to peach and lavender. Our pearl necklaces put a modern twist on the vintage string of pearls, granting the fashion-conscious an elegant accessory to sport wherever they go.
How to Choose a Freshwater Pearl Necklace
Pearl necklaces here range from classic strands to mixed gemstone designs. Length and pearl type decide the look.
| Option | What it is | Who it suits | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic pearl strands | Pearls throughout, with metal accents | Bridal wear and formal occasions | Length, since 16 and 22 inches sit very differently |
| Mixed gemstone and pearl | Pearls combined with coloured stones | Anyone who finds plain pearl too formal | Which colours are mixed in |
| Shorter, 16 to 18 inches | Sits at the base of the neck | Open necklines and strapless dresses | That it clears higher collars |
| Longer, 20 inches and up | Falls below the collarbone | Layering and daily wear | Weight across a long evening |
Quick Match by Shopper
- You are dressing for a wedding or formal event – choose a classic pearl strand.
- You find plain pearls too formal – choose a mixed gemstone and pearl design, which adds colour and texture.
- You wear open necklines or strapless dresses – choose a shorter 16 to 18 inch necklace that sits at the base of the neck.
- You want to layer or wear it daily – choose a longer strand of 20 inches or more, which falls below the collarbone.
- You want easy fastening – look for vermeil hook and toggle closures, which are simpler to close one-handed.
Criteria that matter most
- Pearl care – put the necklace on after perfume and hairspray, and never soak pearls
- Clasp – vermeil hook and toggle closures are easier to fasten one-handed than small lobster clasps
- Storage – lay pearls flat rather than hanging, and keep them away from harder stones

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Are these real pearls?
Yes, cultured freshwater pearls, hand-strung with metal and gemstone accents in the San Francisco studio.
Q2. What length should I choose?
A 16 to 18 inch necklace sits at the base of the neck and suits open necklines. A 20 inch or longer strand falls below the collarbone and layers more easily.
Q3. How do I care for pearls?
Put them on last, after perfume, hairspray and lotion. Wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wearing, store them flat, and never use ultrasonic cleaners or jewellery dips.
Q4. Can pearls be worn every day?
Yes, with care. Pearls are softer than most gemstones, so keep them away from knocks, chemicals and prolonged water exposure.
