I just can't get enough of this striking Sterling Silver necklace! It is the ultimate Pearl pendant necklace and an absolute must-have for any marine jewellery lover.

A dozen bright Cubic Zirconia stones lead the gaze down to the Pearl glowing and held securely in place by the Rhodium-plated Silver mollusc, reminiscent of organic forms. It perfectly captures the marine influences recently prevalent in jewellery fashion.

Wonderfully wearable at 5.3g, and 18" making this awesome adornment an absolute pleasure to carry off, whether it be a special occasion or you just love to wear outstanding jewellery every day of the week; in which case you are most welcome here.

Available in pendant form also, and with a coating of both Rose Gold and Yellow Gold Vermeil, making these superbly versatile and wearable with whichever is your favourite precious metal of the day.

All gemstones can be damaged through wear and tear. Make sure you check for loose stones or damaged claws periodically. Always take your jewellery off whenever you are doing activities that might cause damage. Remember that household cleaners and chlorine in swimming pools can damage gold and many gems.

Different gemstones need different care – remember that many jewellery cleaning products can harm softer, porous or organic gems. If in doubt, a soft moist cloth is suitable for cleaning any gem.

Heat can play a factor too, so be aware of storing items too close to radiators – Pearl, Opal and Morganite are all susceptible to sudden changes in temperature.

Cultured freshwater pearls are pearls that are farmed and created using freshwater mussels. These pearls are produced in Japan and the United States on a limited scale but are now almost exclusively produced in China.

A precious white metal from the Platinum family, Rhodium costs eight times more than pure gold (23 times more than 9ct Gold) and four times more than its relative Platinum! A very hard and scratch-resistant metal, it is sometimes used to plate silver, where it also prevents it from tarnishing. As it is whiter in appearance than White Gold and Platinum, it is often used as a coating and is sometimes referred to as Rhodium flashing. It is often electroplated on the shoulders or prongs of Yellow Gold rings, in order to create an illusion setting for Diamonds.
