Collana di Perle - Freshwater Pearl Choker/Necklace
This elegant, yet easy-to-wear, pearl choker is another collaboration, designed with Astrid, @astridiwantyouinmylife.
Made to order by me in my Devon studio, they are made with luminous freshwater pearls (8/9mm), each individually knotted by hand on natural silk thread using traditional stringing techniques. The careful hand-knotting not only enhances the beauty of each pearl but also adds strength and fluidity to the piece. (see below for all the advantages).
The classic pearl strand is finished with a minimalist hammered ring-and-bar toggle clasp, custom-made by Penny from recycled sterling silver, adding both a modern edge and sustainable touch to this classic design. The toggle closure is easy to use with 3 sterling silver beads and provides a secure, elegant finish which can be worn at the front, back or sides.
The toggle echoes the minimalist style of the rings and earrings already in the Astrid & Penny collection, making this piece a natural addition to your jewellery wardrobe. Stamped 925 and my Makers Mark, PA.
Whether you're dressing up or down, this necklace adds a timeless touch to any outfit — and layers beautifully with other chains or pearls for a more personal look.
Worn as a choker or short necklace and available in approximately 16” , 17", 18” or 19" (40.6 cm, 43.18 cm, 45.72cm or 48.26 cm), with sterling silver fixings or a luxurious vermeil coating of 24ct gold plated with gold filled beads. Astrid is wearing the 16".
Why Hand-Stringing Matters
Each pearl is individually hand-knotted, ensuring the necklace drapes beautifully and naturally. The knots protect the pearls from rubbing against each other, preserve their delicate surface, and safeguard your strand—if it ever breaks, only a single pearl is lost. Hand-stringing also allows for perfect spacing, symmetry, and custom designs, making your necklace not just beautiful, but durable and timeless.
