Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →
Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.
18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →
Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →
Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

You’ve seen pearl necklaces before — but not like this. This is your chance to wear something timeless, but not traditional. The large oval freshwater pearls glow softly in tones of white, cream, blush and grey, each one unique, each one carefully chosen.
Hand-knotted on black silk, the contrast adds a quiet edge — subtle, but unmistakable. You’ll feel the quality as soon as you hold it: the soft texture of the silk, the cool weight of the pearls, the solid feel of the handcrafted sterling silver catch. Made by hand, made with intention.
At 45.5cm, it sits perfectly at your collarbone. Wear it solo when you want the pearls to speak for themselves — or layer it with chains and textures to make it truly your own.
This is your strand. Elegant, grounded, a little bold. A piece that lets you reimagine the classics, on your terms.
Part of the Edition of One series — a one-off piece, made once and never repeated.
