White Potato Pearl Necklace | Graduated Freshwater Pearls | Sterling Silver Filigree Box Clasp | Handmade Classic Necklace

Simple, timeless, and entirely genuine — the kind of pearl necklace that never goes out of style.

A single strand of white potato pearls, gently graduated from 6 to 7mm, is hand-strung on silk thread for that classic, substantial drape only silk gives. Each pearl carries its own soft, organic lustre and subtle natural irregularity — no two are quite alike. The necklace fastens with a sterling silver filigree box clasp, its intricate floral cut-out design turning the closure into a quiet feature of its own rather than an afterthought. 16.5 inches in length — a timeless choker-to-collarbone length that suits almost any neckline.

The details:

• 🤍 White potato pearls, slightly graduated, 6–7mm
• 🧵 Hand-strung on silk thread
• 🥈 Sterling silver filigree box clasp
• 📏 16.5 inches in length
• ✨ Handmade — every pearl individually selected and strung

What are Potato Pearls?

Potato pearls are freshwater pearls with a rounded, slightly irregular shape — plumper and more organic than a perfectly spherical pearl, hence the name. They form without a bead nucleus at their centre, so rather than growing around a small round starting point, the nacre builds up freely into a naturally rounded, gently flattened form. That means each one is solid nacre all the way through, genuinely durable, and gently irregular in the most flattering way — the subtle graduation in this strand, from smaller pearls at the back to fuller ones at the front, is a traditional touch that gives the necklace real presence without ever feeling heavy.

A genuinely classic piece — the kind of necklace that works as beautifully with a simple blouse as it does with eveningwear. A lovely gift for a milestone birthday, a wedding, or as an heirloom-style piece to be treasured and passed down.

Caring for your necklace:

Pearls are nature's gems and deserve a little extra tenderness:

• 🚿 Keep them dry — remove before swimming, bathing, or showering
• 🧴 Last on, first off — apply perfume, hairspray, and makeup before putting your necklace on
• 😴 Take it off before bed — protects both the pearls and the silk thread
• 🫧 Clean gently — wipe with a very soft barely-damp cloth; never soak pearls
• 📦 Store separately — keep in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box
• 🌬️ Let them breathe — avoid airtight containers for long-term storage
• 🥈 Care for the clasp — buff gently with a soft dry cloth to keep the filigree detail bright

Each necklace is handmade and individually strung — the natural variation in shape and lustre across the pearls means your necklace is entirely and beautifully your own.
