How do I clean freshwater pearl bridal jewellery?

Gently wipe freshwater pearls with a soft, damp cloth after wearing to remove any oils or perfume residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage the pearl's natural lustre. Store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching.

Can I see real brides wearing the Charlotte pearl necklace?

Yes, you can see pictures our brides have uploaded by scrolling through the product gallery or visit our blog here for more inspiration. These real bride photos show how beautifully the necklace complements different dress styles and hairstyles.

What is gold filled jewellery and how durable is it?

Gold filled jewellery features a thick layer of real gold bonded to a base metal, making it much more durable than gold plating. Learn more about gold filled jewellery here. It's perfect for bridal jewellery as it won't tarnish or fade with regular wear.

Can I wear a pearl back drop necklace with different hairstyles?

Absolutely - this lariat style works beautifully with updos, half-up styles, or hair worn to one side, allowing the pearl drops to cascade elegantly down your back. The adjustable nature means it complements various necklines and dress styles perfectly.

How is the Charlotte necklace made and where?

All our pieces are entirely handmade in Bath by one person, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and quality. You can meet our friendly team to learn more about our craftsmanship process and the care that goes into each piece.
