Mastoloni Graduated Tahitian Pearl Strand Necklace in 18K White Gold

This single strand pearl necklace from Mastoloni is composed of 43 Tahitian pearls arranged in a graduated line. The smallest pearls measure 8.4mm at the ends of the strand and increase gradually toward the center, where they reach 11.8mm. The graduation gives the necklace a natural taper that follows the line of the neck and keeps the largest pearls centered at the base of the throat.

Tahitian pearls are known for their depth of color and their presence at larger sizes. Here they are hand strung and completed with a clasp in 18K white gold, a cool-toned metal that sits quietly against the pearls rather than competing with them.

A graduated strand wears differently from a uniform one. The lighter ends sit comfortably at the back of the neck, while the weight and scale settle at the front. It is a straightforward piece to style, equally at home over a collared shirt or with an open neckline, and it can be worn on its own or layered with a longer chain.
