Collar Akoya Pearl Necklace (12-13in)

Harga

A Collar-length necklace measures 12-13 inches and sits high on the neck above the collarbone, the most intimate length. Collar length is best for high necklines, evening wear, layering with longer pearls. Victorian-era origin; popularized as the foundation of the multi-strand "dog collar" look. This collection presents Akoya pearl necklaces in the Collar length tier — pearls from Pinctada fucata, sourced from Japan. Akoya pearls show classic white with pink overtones — the highest mirror luster of any cultured pearl. The pieces here are hand-strung with knotted silk between pearls (the traditional method that prevents wear and keeps pearls separate if a strand breaks). Settings include 18K gold and 925 sterling silver clasps. For Collar length specifically, we recommend pearl sizes that complement the drop — typically 9-12mm for a balanced look, larger sizes (13mm+) for statement effect. Each necklace ships with our certificate of authenticity, origin notation, and grading sheet.
