Freshwater Pearl Titanium Steel Geometric Bead Necklace | 100500963891946

How to Measure

Use this quick guide to confirm fit and specs before ordering or when checking your necklace at home.

1. Measure on your neck:
   • Wrap a soft measuring tape (or string, then measure it with a ruler) around the base of your neck.
   • Add comfort allowance: +1–2 cm for a close fit, +3–5 cm for a relaxed drape.
   • Choose the closest standard length: 35–38 cm (14–15 in) choker, 40–45 cm (16–18 in) at collarbone, 50–55 cm (20–22 in) below collarbone.
2. Measure the necklace itself:
   • Total length: end-to-end including clasp.
   • Extender length (if present): measure only the adjustable chain section.
   • Drop length on body: half of the total length, measured from the back of neck to the center front.
3. Measure components:
   • Pearl size: diameter in millimeters across the widest point.
   • Geometric bead size: length × width × thickness (mm).
   • Chain or cord thickness (if used): gauge/diameter (mm).
4. Fit check with a piece you own:
   • Lay a favorite necklace flat and measure it end-to-end; match that length for a similar drape.

Notes: Natural pearls vary slightly; allow minor differences in bead/pearl size and spacing. Hand measurements can vary by ±2–3 mm.

Materials & Composition

Freshwater Pearls

• Cultured in freshwater mussels; each pearl is unique in shape, luster, and surface.
• Known for soft, iridescent luster and thicker nacre compared with many imitation pearls.
• Natural variations: slight differences in roundness, overtones, and minor surface characteristics are normal and part of their character.
• Care-sensitive: pearls are organic (around 2.5–4.5 on the Mohs scale) and can be affected by acids, perfumes, and high heat.

Titanium Steel (commonly 316L stainless steel or titanium-alloyed steel)

• Engineered for durability and everyday wear; highly resistant to corrosion and tarnish.
• Skin-friendly for most wearers; smooth finish helps minimize irritation.
• Finish may be natural steel tone or color-coated (e.g., PVD) depending on the style; care instructions below help preserve the finish.

Geometric Beads

• Precision-shaped metal beads (e.g., cube, hex, tube) add clean lines and modern contrast to the pearls.
• Edges are typically softened/polished for comfort while keeping a structured look.

Because pearls are natural and metal beads are machined, slight variations between pieces are normal.

Model & Fit Reference

• On-body photos (when shown) commonly feature a near-collarbone fit around 40 cm / 16 in for a close, everyday look.
• How it sits by length (approximate): 35–38 cm (14–15 in) choker; 40–45 cm (16–18 in) at collarbone; 50–55 cm (20–22 in) just below collarbone.
• Layering tip: space necklaces by 2–5 cm (1–2 in) between lengths for tangle-free stacking.
• If a specific model length is listed in the product options, that is the length shown in photos unless otherwise noted.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put the necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove it before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Wipe after wear: gently clean pearls and metal with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and perspiration.
• Avoid chemicals: keep away from perfume, sunscreen, household cleaners, and chlorine; do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners on pearls.
• Cleaning:
  • Pearls: lightly dampen a soft cloth with clean water; wipe and dry immediately. Do not soak.
  • Metal parts: mild soap and water on a cloth if needed; avoid abrasives; dry thoroughly.
• Storage: lay flat in a soft pouch or lined box, separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches; avoid long-term airtight plastic for pearls—allow them to “breathe.”
• Avoid prolonged heat or direct sunlight, which can dehydrate pearls.
• If strung on cord or silk and worn frequently, periodic restringing is recommended to maintain security.

Style Tips

• Modern contrast: let the geometric metal beads frame the pearls for a clean, architectural look with tees, button-downs, and slip dresses.
• Layering: pair with a fine chain at 38–40 cm for a choker stack, then add a 50–55 cm chain for depth. Keep 2–5 cm between layers.
• Necklines: crew and boat necks highlight a collarbone-length fit; V-necks and wrap tops suit slightly longer lengths to mirror the neckline.
• Event-ready: elevate tailoring or eveningwear by matching with simple studs or huggie hoops; keep other accessories minimal.
• Everyday polish: wear solo with a crisp shirt or knit for subtle texture; mix with metal bracelets or a watch for balance.
• Mixing metals: the steel pairs well with silver or white-gold tones; if your piece is gold-toned, echo with warm accessories for cohesion.
