Designer Notes
Opera-length pearl strands have long been associated with effortless elegance, from the glamour of 1920s flappers to the chic minimalism of the 1980s. This necklace’s weight and luminous glass pearls recall the craftsmanship of heritage makers such as Napier, Monet, and Marvella, who perfected the art of luxurious faux pearls.
Styling
The 50-inch length offers endless versatility: wear it doubled for a classic two-strand look, knotted at the front for 1920s style, or long and fluid for contemporary elegance. A true staple of any vintage jewellery wardrobe.
