How do I choose the right chain length for my pearl wedding necklace?

Chain length depends on your neckline and personal preference. Our comprehensive guide covers measurements for different dress styles. How to choose your chain length provides detailed sizing charts to ensure the perfect fit.

What does gold-filled mean for bridal jewellery durability?

Gold-filled contains significantly more gold than gold-plated pieces, making it ideal for heirloom jewellery. The thick gold layer is mechanically bonded to the base metal for lasting wear. What is 'gold filled'? explains the superior quality and longevity.

How should I care for my gold-filled pearl necklace after the wedding?

Proper care ensures your piece remains beautiful for years of wear. Store in the provided presentation box and avoid harsh chemicals or perfumes directly on the metal. How to care for gold filled jewellery provides complete maintenance instructions.

Can I personalise my Rhia pearl necklace with additional elements?

Absolutely - the delicate chain pairs beautifully with personalised touches for a truly bespoke piece. Add charms allow you to include meaningful initials or dates alongside the classic pearl.
