Care notes

Pearls are organic gemstones, so they should be treated gently. Put them on after perfume, hairspray, and lotion. After wearing, wipe the pearls with a soft cloth and store the necklace flat in a pouch or box.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real pearls?

Yes. These are genuine cultured Japanese Akoya pearls, not imitation pearls.

Is the clasp real gold?

Yes. The clasp is solid 14KT gold. It is not gold plated.

Can this necklace be worn every day?

Yes, but pearls should be worn with care. Avoid perfume, lotion, hairspray, water, and harsh chemicals directly on the pearls.

Is this a good gift?

Yes. A white Akoya pearl necklace is one of the safest fine jewelry gifts because the look is timeless, elegant, and easy to style.

Not sure if Tahitian is the right pearl?

Akoya is the classic choice for a bright white pearl strand. Freshwater is usually better for everyday value, Tahitian for darker statement pearls, and South Sea for larger luxury pearls.
