Modern Pearl Necklaces

Discover handcrafted modern pearl necklaces made with genuine freshwater pearls, sterling silver and 9ct gold. From elegant single pearl pendants to contemporary Art Deco-inspired designs, each ladies pearl necklace is handmade in small batches and designed to be worn and treasured for years to come.

Pearls have been worn for centuries, but I love finding new ways to use them. Rather than creating traditional pearl jewellery, I design modern pearl necklaces that celebrate the natural beauty of freshwater pearls through clean lines, thoughtful proportions and timeless craftsmanship.

Every necklace in this collection is handmade by me using carefully selected genuine freshwater pearls and precious metals, including sterling silver and solid 9ct gold. Whether you prefer the understated elegance of polished silver, the striking contrast of oxidised silver or the warmth of gold, each design is created to let the pearl remain the focal point.

One of the reasons I enjoy working with freshwater pearls is that every one has its own unique character. Their natural variations in shape, lustre and surface make each necklace subtly different, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

This collection includes modern interpretations of the classic ladies pearl necklace, designed to feel just as comfortable with everyday outfits as they do for weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions. From minimalist single pearl pendants to elegant heirloom pieces, every necklace is made to become part of your jewellery collection for years to come.

As a small independent jeweller, I make every necklace myself in small batches using traditional jewellery-making techniques. From selecting each pearl to the final polish, every stage is completed with care and attention to detail.

Whether you're looking for a meaningful gift or choosing something special for yourself, I hope these necklaces become pieces you'll wear often rather than save for special occasions.

You can also explore my coordinating pearl earrings, pearl rings and pearl bracelets, all handcrafted using genuine freshwater pearls and designed to complement this collection beautifully.
