A 13" + 2" extension 14/20 gold filled cultured freshwater rice pearl necklace with approximately 3.5mm x 5mm white rice pearls. Finished with a lobster clasp.

Rice pearls are cultured freshwater pearls whose form is elliptical rather than spherical: elongated on one axis so that the pearl is longer than it is wide, with a shape that resembles a grain of rice. The 3.5mm x 5mm pearls in this necklace have a width-to-length ratio of approximately 1:1.43, which places them in the standard rice pearl range — distinctly elongated but not so extreme as to read as a baroque or irregular form. The elliptical form of a rice pearl means that the pearl has a defined long axis and a defined short axis, and that adjacent pearls in a strand can align their long axes in the same direction, producing a strand in which the pearls sit in a consistent orientation that emphasises the length of each individual pearl. The white colour of these rice pearls is the natural colour of the nacre — the calcium carbonate mineral deposited by the freshwater mollusc in the pearl-forming process — and will carry the characteristic warm, slightly iridescent overtone of freshwater pearl nacre rather than the pure neutral white of a dyed or bleached stone. 14/20 gold filled chain is fabricated by mechanically bonding a layer of 14 karat gold to a base metal core under heat and pressure: the gold layer constitutes 1/20th of the total weight of the metal. This is significantly more gold than the electroplated deposit of gold-plated chain, which is measured in microns and constitutes a negligible fraction of the total metal weight. The result is a warm yellow-gold surface that is more durable and longer-lasting under normal wear conditions than gold plating. At 13", this necklace sits at or near the top of the collarbone: the 2" extension allows adjustment to 15", which approaches the standard collarbone position. A pearl strand at 13" is well suited to layering as the shortest strand in a multi-necklace arrangement, where it sits visibly above a 16" or 18" chain.

A refined gift for pearl lovers or anyone looking for a cultured freshwater rice pearl strand necklace in 14/20 gold filled — a continuous strand of 3.5mm x 5mm white rice pearls at a shorter-than-standard 13" length on a warm gold filled chain with a lobster clasp.

✨ How to Wear

Wear alone as a refined rice pearl strand high on the neckline, or layer as the shortest strand in a multi-necklace arrangement above a 16" or 18" chain. The 2" extension adjusts the length from 13" to 15". The warm gold tone of the 14/20 gold filled chain pairs beautifully with gold and warm-toned jewelry.
