Necklace featuring a large freshwater pearl.

The pendant measures 3 x 1.5 cm.

The steel chain has a total length of 45 cm and features a lobster clasp that allows it to be fastened at any point along its length. If you need a longer chain, simply include a note with your order, and I will gladly extend it for you free of charge.

Freshwater pearls form inside freshwater mollusks, where layers of nacre gradually accumulate around a tiny irritant. This slow process can take a long time, resulting in pearls with a soft, natural luster. Each one is unique—varying in shape, shade, and texture—and it is precisely this natural irregularity that gives them their distinctive beauty.

Pearls have long been symbols of purity, wisdom, and something precious that develops gradually and unseen. In esoteric symbolism, they are often associated with water, the Moon, intuition, and the feminine principle.

The piece is handcrafted from surgical steel, using a tin-silver alloy for the connections. It requires care similar to silver jewelry—occasional polishing. The more the piece is worn, the better; it polishes itself through contact with clothing and the wearer's skin. The metal is durable and free of nickel and heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly, even in water, though it is advisable to dry it off afterwards and polish it more frequently.
