Pearl Necklaces

Pearls are some of nature's greatest treasures; indeed, their soft glow has been loved for centuries. A strand of pearls is among the most classic of jewelry pieces, and every fine jewelry collection includes at least one of these elegant necklaces. Pearl necklaces usually feature cultured white pearls, yet there are many pearl colors and necklace designs available. You'll find a variety of pearl necklaces in Overstock.com's online jewelry store.

With a pearl necklace in your jewelry box, you'll always have the perfect accessory for a cocktail dress or dress suit. Today, that pearl necklace often is a single or double-strand of Akoya pearls in a warm white or cream color. Akoya pearls are the original cultured pearls. They are farmed in the cool coastal waters of Japan and range in size from 2 mm to 10 mm. Tahitian pearls, cultured pearls from French Polynesia, create the ultimate dramatic jewelry with their luminous shades of grey, silver and black. Large, golden South Sea pearls are the ultimate luxury. For a more delicate look, choose freshwater pearls in a pastel shade of pink or grey.

Pearl jewelry is traditional and sophisticated at the same time. Necklaces of choker length (14 inches) or princess length (18 inches) are ideal for a single-strand. A rope-length pearl necklace at 36 inches or longer can be wrapped into multiple strands or left long to suit your style. Pearl strands may be too dressy for daytime wear, but that doesn't mean you can't wear pearls in the morning or afternoon. Pearl pendants often feature one lustrous pearl set on a gold chain.
