Natural Starter Necklace

Cultured pearls are our most popular choice for starter necklaces. They have a higher luster and are more perfectly round than Natural pearls. Cultured pearls are the traditional pearl we think about brides wearing on their wedding day. Natural pearls appeal to a very specific person who knows and wants natural pearls. They are very rare. Their luster is less-glossy and more unique from pearl to pearl.  Natural pearl necklaces are usually designed in a graduated style whereas cultured pearl necklaces can be designed to be either uniform or graduated.

Our Original chain is the traditional style that has been used on all Add-A-Pearl necklaces since 1915. It is a petite cable link chain, delicate yet sturdy to perfectly complement an Add-A-Pearl necklace. The Premium chain is a diamond-cut Singapore chain. It’s heavier and shinier than the Standard chain. Diamond cut chains have flat surfaces cut into the metal which flashes and catches light similar to diamonds.

This is purely a personal preference. At Add-A-Pearl, 14K yellow gold has long been the traditional favorite. Pearls look bright and very elegant against the yellow metal although in recent years, white gold has become a more popular choice for jewelry. Sterling Silver is an excellent option as an affordable white metal option.

Natural Pearl necklaces are usually created in a graduated style with larger pearls in the center tapering to smaller sized pearls near the clasp. If you prefer a uniform styled necklace or sizes not shown , please contact us at 855-392-6640 so we may customize a necklace especially for you!
