Titanium Steel Glass Bead Pearl Necklace | 100500143271958

How to Measure

1. Decide where you want it to sit:
   • Choker fit: high at the base of the neck
   • On the collarbone (most popular everyday length)
   • Just below the collarbone for a little more drape
2. Measure your neck: wrap a soft tape (or a string, then measure the string) around your neck where the necklace will sit.
3. Add comfort allowance:
   • Choker: neck circumference + 2 cm (about 0.75 in)
   • On-collarbone: neck + 5 cm (about 2 in)
   • Below-collarbone: neck + 8–10 cm (about 3–4 in)
4. Account for beads and clasp:
   • End-to-end necklace length is typically measured including the clasp.
   • Bead strands can wear slightly shorter than a flat chain because of bead diameter; if you’re between sizes, sizing up usually gives a nicer drape.
   • If there’s an extender chain, your wearable range = base length + extender length.
5. Check bead/pearl size: place one bead/pearl against a ruler or calipers and measure across the widest point (in mm).
6. If your style includes a pendant: measure the pendant drop from the top of the bail/loop to the bottom point and add that to the chain length for total drop.

Quick gift tip: an adjustable 16–18 in range suits most necklines and sizes.

Materials & What to Expect

Titanium Steel (stainless steel jewelry alloy)

• Durable and corrosion-resistant: designed to resist rusting and discoloration in daily wear.
• Low maintenance: does not require frequent polishing and keeps its shine well.
• Skin-friendly for most: stainless jewelry alloys typically have low nickel release; those with severe nickel sensitivity should patch-test.
• Water and sweat resistant: suitable for regular wear; dry after exposure for best longevity.

Glass Beads

• Colorful and stable: glass retains color and luster well; some surface coatings or dyes can be sensitive to chemicals.
• Moderate hardness: resists everyday scratches but can chip if dropped or struck.
• Care: avoid harsh solvents and prolonged soaking to protect bead finishes and any stringing materials.

Pearl Elements

Necklaces described as “glass bead pearl” may use either cultured freshwater pearls or imitation pearls (often glass cores with a pearlescent coating). Care is similar but note these differences:

• Cultured freshwater pearl: organic nacre, sensitive to acids, perfumes, and abrasives; luster deepens with gentle wear but avoid chemicals.
• Glass pearl (imitation): glass core with pearlized coating; very uniform appearance; coating can scuff with abrasion or be dulled by alcohol-based products.

If you need to confirm which type your piece uses, refer to the product specification on the page or packaging.

On‑Model Fit Reference (general guide)

• 14 in (35 cm): true choker, sits high at the base of the neck.
• 16 in (40 cm): rests at the base of the neck/collarbone on many neck sizes.
• 18 in (45 cm): classic “princess” length, sits on the collarbone.
• 20 in (50 cm): just below the collarbone; good for layering or higher necklines.

Because bead strands are rounded, they can wear a touch shorter than a flat chain. For a looser look or broader necks, consider the next length up or choose an extender.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put the necklace on after lotions, perfume, hairspray, and sunscreen; remove before workouts, showering, pools, and spas.
• After each wear: wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• Storage: keep dry; store separately in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent tangles and scuffs.
• Avoid chemicals: no alcohol wipes, acetone, silver dips, or bleach; these can dull glass coatings and damage pearl surfaces.
• Travel tip: clasp the necklace before packing to reduce tangling; cushion beads to avoid impact chips.

Cleaning by Material

• Titanium Steel: wash with mild soap and lukewarm water; use a soft cloth or soft brush; rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Glass Beads: wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth; avoid soaking and harsh cleaners; dry fully to protect any stringing material.
• Pearl Elements: gently wipe with a barely damp soft cloth; do not use ultrasonic cleaners, steam, or abrasive cloths; avoid prolonged soaking; let pearls be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo with a crewneck tee or knit; let the glass-bead shimmer and pearl accent be the focal point.
• Layering: pair with a simple flat chain or cable chain; try 16 in + 18 in + 20 in for a balanced cascade.
• Neckline match: choker for strapless and scoop; 16–18 in for V-necks and button-downs; 18–20 in over high crew or under a blazer.
• Mix materials: titanium-steel’s cool tone plays well with sterling silver and white gold; keep earrings simple (studs or small hoops) to highlight the bead-and-pearl detail.
• Occasion switch: add a sleek chain for evening polish; for daytime, style with denim or soft knits to contrast the pearl’s luster.
