A 13" + 2" extension sterling silver 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. At 13", this necklace sits at or near the top of the collarbone, at the shorter end of the standard fine necklace length range: a 16" necklace sits at the collarbone and an 18" necklace sits below it, so a 13" necklace positions the strand higher on the neck, closer to the base of the throat. The 2" extension allows adjustment to 15", which approaches the standard collarbone position. A strand at 13" — particularly a pearl strand — is well suited to layering as the shortest layer 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 sterling silver — a continuous strand of 3.5mm x 5mm white rice pearls at a shorter-than-standard 13" length that sits high on the neckline and layers naturally with longer chains.

✨ 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 unplated sterling silver clasp and extender pair naturally with silver and white gold jewelry.
