One of the most iconic pieces of fine jewelry is the pearl necklace. %expanded-mobile%

For many of us, that immediately evokes the idea of a simple pearl strand, worn at varying lengths to suit our own personal taste and style. When the conversation turns towards pearl jewelry and what that is defined as, it is the simple pearl strand that becomes the foundation for other pearl jewelry styles. How many of us might call that strand the “real pearl necklace.” With that in mind, our pearl necklaces begin with a reinterpretation of the pearl strand and build from there with a variety of designs.%expanded-desktop%

In our Design your Own collection, we have taken a pearl strand at varying lengths and added our classic charm enhancers in 18k gold and sterling silver. The result is a fully customizable pearl pendant necklace where you can add the individual charms that tell your unique story. The ability to add and remove charms in seconds allows for you to create a variety of styles and looks. One of those charms can be one of our lockets that are offered on a Design Your Own chain, allowing you to create a unique pearl locket necklace. Inspired by the simple elegance of pearls, we also use mother of pearl as a core element in many of our collections and our locket necklaces are among those collections. Mother of Pearl is the material which coats the inner lining of a mollusk shell. It has a lovely iridescence that suits beautifully it's use in fine jewelry. Our Elle locket collection is not only a mother of pearl necklace, but it is a pearl locket necklace that is perfectly designed to be worn every day, making it the perfect gift. The Elle is one of our Slim locket styles and it is offered in an oval shape. The same design and construction is offered in a five eighth inch round style as well known as the Brooke locket. Mother of Pearl is also used as part of doublet stones in a variety of our other locket necklaces. In those pearl pendant necklaces the iridescent material is fused to the back of stones like rock crystal or blue topaz to allow for a unique shimmering effect.
