Collection: Pearl Necklace

The Modern Pearl Necklace, Made for Every Day

The pearl necklace has moved on from twinsets and formal occasions. Today it is worn with t-shirts, knitwear and tailoring, often layered with fine gold chains. Our modern pearl necklace designs are made for exactly that, and with more than 100 styles and free delivery on all our pearl necklaces, UK customers will find a piece for every wardrobe. Pearls are wonderfully versatile, so one necklace can move from a morning meeting to a dinner out without a second thought.

Start with a shape. Pearl pendant necklaces are ideal for every day, beaded pearl necklaces offer classic strands, some accented with natural stones, and a pearl choker necklace sits close to the neck for open necklines. For relaxed lengths made for layering, see our layered pearl necklaces. Most designs are made in S925 sterling silver, bright or finished in 18ct gold vermeil.

Baroque Pearl Necklaces With Sculptural Character

A baroque pearl necklace is instantly recognisable. Each pearl grows in its own organic shape, so no two necklaces are identical, and every piece may vary slightly from the photos. This celebration of natural irregularity is where our name comes from, as barocco is the Italian for baroque. Discover more in our baroque pearl jewellery collection. Baroque pieces suit anyone who loves jewellery with personality and a sense of individuality.

The stick baroque pearl necklace sets a slender baroque pearl in sculpted sterling silver, a lovely everyday piece. For fuller designs, from a single pearl on a fine chain to a strand of irregular pearls, our guide on how to choose a baroque pearl necklace will help you decide. A baroque pearl necklace looks especially striking with an open-collar shirt or a simple black dress.

Freshwater Pearl Necklaces and Gold Pearl Necklaces

Freshwater pearls grow in freshwater mussels and are more plentiful than saltwater pearls, which gives them wonderful variety in shape and natural tone, from white and ivory to cream and blush pink. A freshwater pearl necklace uses genuine pearls, and you can learn more in our guide to freshwater vs saltwater pearls or shop our freshwater pearl jewellery. Their durability makes them ideal for pieces you want to wear often.

A gold pearl necklace brings warmth that flatters ivory and cream pearls. Our various sized ivory pearls necklace layers freshwater pearls in varied sizes with golden beads. Explore our gold vermeil jewellery for matching pieces, or browse all our necklaces for women, including bright sterling silver styles. Gold vermeil is a thick layer of gold over sterling silver, so it is more durable than ordinary plating.

A Pearl Necklace for Weddings, Birthdays and Anniversaries

Pearls are the classic bridal choice, and a pearl necklace looks beautiful on brides, bridesmaids and guests alike. Find coordinating pieces in our pearl wedding jewellery, and for styling ideas read our guide on how to layer necklaces. A short strand looks lovely with a crew neck jumper, while a pendant layered with a gold chain feels relaxed and modern.

A pearl necklace is also one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. Pearl is the June birthstone and the traditional 30th wedding anniversary gift, making it perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day and Christmas. Explore our birthstone jewellery, and remember that every order arrives with free UK delivery and complimentary gift wrapping. Choosing one for yourself is just as special, and it is a piece you will reach for again and again.
