Pearls, ruined properly.

Two strands of pearls sit high at the throat, and then something goes wrong with them — thin lines of red beads run down from the pearls and end in faceted teardrops. Your grandmother's necklace, if your grandmother had a record.

The contrast is the product. Pearls read as well-behaved from a distance, which is exactly how you want to be read until someone is close enough for it not to matter.

It's the most wearable thing in the collection and the one you'll reach for on days you weren't planning anything.

The details

  • 14.6 inches, with a 2 inch extension chain
  • Synthetic pearl and resin on a zinc alloy chain
  • One size, two colorways

Care

The pearl coating scratches and the alloy corrodes. Keep it away from perfume and other metal, take it off before exercise, and store it flat and out of direct sun.

Before you buy

Will it turn my skin green?

Depends what's underneath the gold. Plating over stainless or titanium steel won't - steel doesn't react with sweat that way. Plating over copper or alloy can, because copper oxidizes against skin and the mark it leaves is green. It's harmless and it washes off. Check the material line on this page: it says which one this piece is.

Will it tarnish?

Sterling silver will, eventually - that's silver reacting with sulfur in the air, and it goes black rather than green. A polishing cloth takes it off. Platinum-plated silver resists it for much longer. Gold plating doesn't tarnish; it wears, which is a different problem with the same look.

Is it waterproof?

Water-resistant, not waterproof. Showers, swimming and hot tubs shorten the life of any plated piece - chlorine and salt are the worst of it. Take it off first and you'll double how long it looks new.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Stainless steel, titanium steel and 925 sterling silver are the safest bets here. Plated alloy is the one to avoid if nickel is your problem. If you react to cheap earrings, stay in the steel and silver collections.

How do I make it last?

Last on, first off - after perfume, lotion and hairspray, before the shower and the gym. Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. Store it dry and separate, in the pouch it came in. That's most of it.
