Mastoloni Graduated Freshwater Pearl 54-Inch Strand Necklace

This single strand pearl necklace from Mastoloni is composed of white freshwater pearls in a graduated arrangement. The pearls measure from 4.5mm at the smallest to 9.5mm at the largest, so the strand narrows gradually and the fuller pearls sit toward the center of the drape.

At 54 inches, the necklace is long enough to wear as a single rope that falls below the waist, doubled for a two-layer look near the collarbone, or knotted once for a shorter, denser line. The length gives the strand flexibility without any adjustment, and it slips over the head easily.

Freshwater pearls are cultured and valued for their soft, even luster. White is the most familiar pearl color and reads as neutral, which makes a long strand like this one straightforward to wear with both daytime knits and evening dress. The graduation adds movement and keeps the rope from looking uniform as it falls.

Pearls are organic and benefit from simple care. Put them on after fragrance and cosmetics, wipe them with a soft cloth after wear, and store them apart from harder gemstones and metal.
