Women's Pearl Necklaces

Pearl necklace for women: timeless elegance

The pearl necklace has been linked with elegance for centuries. Cultured pearls, freshwater pearls, Tahitian pearls—each has its own shine, colour, and beauty. Worn as a classic strand, as a pendant on a silver chain, or in a modern version mixed with metal, pearls are constantly renewed while keeping their natural refinement. Our pearl necklaces for women come in a wide range of styles and at all prices, so that every woman can find the piece of jewellery that suits her.

The different types of pearls

Cultured freshwater pearls

Freshwater pearls are the most affordable. Raised in lakes or rivers, each pearl offers a unique shape—round, baroque, oval—and varied colours: white, pink, cream, or lavender. Their soft, pearly lustre makes the freshwater pearl the ideal choice for an everyday pearl necklace, whether as a classic strand or in a modern style.

Tahitian pearls

The Tahitian pearl stands out for its dark, deep tones—black, grey, peacock green. Raised at sea, this pearl has an intense shine and unique iridescence. A Tahitian pearl necklace is an exceptional piece of jewellery, worn for the rare beauty of each pearl and its strong character.

Mother-of-pearl pearls

Mother-of-pearl pearls, smooth and even, offer a bright white shine at a very affordable price. They are ideal for costume pearl necklaces or mixed necklaces that pair mother-of-pearl and metal. The look is elegant and suits both relaxed and dressed-up outfits.

Styles of pearl necklaces for women

The classic pearl strand

The strand pearl necklace—a line of aligned freshwater or cultured pearls—remains the great classic. Worn short close to the neck or in a standard length (45 cm), it embodies an elegance that spans the ages. It is the piece of jewellery given to mark an occasion and kept for a lifetime.

The close-fitting pearl necklace

Worn short at 35 or 40 cm, a close-fitting pearl necklace for women sits around the neck with grace. In white freshwater pearls or coloured pearls, it adds a refined, modern touch that works as well with everyday wear as for an evening out.

The long pearl necklace

Long and flowing, a long pearl necklace for women falls over the chest and can be worn in many ways—single, knotted, or doubled. It is a relaxed yet elegant pearl necklace, perfect for women who like jewellery with movement.

The tie-style pearl necklace

A tie-style pearl necklace for women falls in a Y shape over the neckline. It blends the softness of the pearl with a modern, refined design—a necklace that dresses an outfit with great elegance.

The pearl pendant on a chain

A single pearl—freshwater, cultured, or mother-of-pearl—hung from a chain in silver for women or in stainless steel. It is the most spare pearl necklace and the easiest to wear every day. Simple, beautiful, effective.

Pearls and modern jewellery: mixing styles

Pearls are no longer limited to the classic strand. Today, they are paired with silver or gold-plated chains, combined with cubic zirconia or gemstones, and worked into costume necklaces for women with a present-day design. Modern pearl necklaces are also worn layered with a medallion necklace for women or other pendant necklaces for a rich, personal set. To browse all our designs, our collection of necklaces for women brings together every style.

Caring for a pearl necklace

Pearls are living jewels, born in water, and they require a little care. Avoid contact with perfumes, creams, and chemicals. Wipe each pearl with a soft cloth after wearing to preserve its shine. Store the necklace flat, in a soft pouch, away from heat and direct light. With these simple steps, a cultured pearl necklace or a freshwater pearl necklace keeps its beauty for years.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between cultured pearls and freshwater pearls?

Cultured pearls are produced at sea (Akoya, Tahiti, South Seas) whereas freshwater pearls are raised in lakes or rivers. Both are real pearls—the difference from one pearl to another lies in the shine, size, and price.

Is a pearl necklace a good gift?

It is a timeless gift. Pearl necklaces suit all women, all ages, and all occasions. Whether it is a single pearl as a pendant or a full strand, it is an idea that never goes out of style.

Do pearls stand up to water?

Pearls are born in water, but prolonged contact with tap water or pool water can dull their shine. It is best to take off your pearl necklace before showering or swimming.
