Étoffe Necklace

Étoffe - Freshwater Pearl Necklace

Étoffe is an ode to the pearl in its most generous form.

Strung with substantial 11–13mm round freshwater pearls, each pearl is individually hand-knotted on coco-coloured silk - a warm, subtle contrast to their luminous white surface. Finished simply with a sterling silver hook-and-eye closure.

These are particularly beautiful freshwater pearls, selected for their round to near-round shape, clean surface and high lustre. Their generous scale gives Étoffe presence, while the traditional silk knotting allows each pearl to sit beautifully on the neck.

Made to order in three lengths.

As natural pearls, each will have its own subtle variations in shape, surface and tone. These individual characteristics are part of their beauty and are not considered imperfections.

Pearl Care
Pearls are naturally delicate. Avoid perfumes, lotions and chemicals, wipe gently after wear, and store separately from harder gemstones to preserve their lustre.

As a general rule: pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

Care instructions – Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can damage silver and gemstones and will remove plating from metal tone beads. Ensure jewellery is completely dry before wearing or storing away. Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish that may appear over time as your piece is worn with love. Plated elements may wear over time. Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising.
