Genuine freshwater pearls hung as drops from 925 sterling silver fittings, in five natural colours: white, grey, black, pink and purple. The coloured pearls are the interesting part — those tones occur naturally in freshwater pearls and are far less common on the high street than plain white.

Choosing a Colour
White is the traditional bridal choice. Grey and black read as modern and suit evening or work wear where white pearls can look formal. Pink and purple are the softest and sit well against warm skin tones. All five are natural pearl colours rather than dyed coatings.
How to Wear Them
Pearl drops suit hair up or tucked behind the ear, where the drop is visible against the neck. Keep necklaces minimal — pearl at the ear and pearl at the neck together reads dated unless it is a deliberate matched set.
Care
Pearl is the softest gem you will own and marks easily. Put them on last, after perfume and hairspray, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and store flat rather than hanging. Never use silver polish on the pearl itself, only on the silver fittings.
FAQ
Are the colours dyed? Grey, pink and purple occur naturally in freshwater pearls. Check the images for the exact tone, as natural colour varies between batches.
Will they suit sensitive ears? The fittings are 925 sterling silver, which is nickel-free and generally well tolerated.
