Silver Shell Pearl Necklace – Graduated Strand

White shell pearls that start small at the back of the neck and swell to their biggest at the hollow of the throat.

Made from 925 sterling silver with a rhodium layer, strung with white shell pearls.

The rhodium layer stops the silver tarnishing and keeps the shine longer. The silver is nickel-free, lead-free and cadmium-free to European standards — hypoallergenic, and comfortable against sensitive skin.

Wear it against a colour rather than against white — navy, bottle green, black — because on a white shirt the strand loses its outline and the way the beads step up in size stops showing at all. Nothing hangs off it to argue with a neckline, and a short run of spare links at the back takes it in or lets it out. It arrives in a free jewellery box with a polishing cloth.
