How do you care for freshwater pearl wedding jewellery?

Freshwater pearls are naturally durable but should be stored separately to avoid scratching. Clean gently with a soft cloth after wearing and avoid contact with perfumes or hairsprays. The subtle iridescence will maintain its lustre with proper care.

What chain length works best for pearl wedding necklaces?

Our 16-inch length with 2-inch extender offers versatility for different necklines and dress styles. The pearl sits just below the collarbone at the standard length, creating a flattering focal point. Custom sizing is available if you prefer a different length.

Do handmade pearl necklaces vary in appearance?

Each freshwater pearl has a naturally unique shape and subtle variations in iridescence, making every Rebecca necklace slightly individual. This organic quality adds to the pearl's natural beauty and ensures your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
