14k Gold -Filled 2 Pearl Choker

$410.00

This 14k gold-filled 2 pearl choker is handmade by Andrea Li: a hand-fabricated 12 gauge 14k gold-filled choker with two freshwater 9-10mm grade-A pearls. It is part of Aglow, her collection of gilded, collectible pieces built for the wearer who wants something that reads as jewelry, not an accessory.

Two 9-10mm grade-A pearls sit on a hand-formed 12 gauge 14k gold-filled choker band, each pearl chosen for the qualities that read as quality up close: a clean, rounded surface and genuine luster. At this size, the pearls lead. The gold gives them a frame that holds its own.

Freshwater pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and a choker sits at the neck where it meets more contact than you might expect from daily wear. I choose grade-A because the surface quality holds its luster longer, and I work with them as the last element I seat, after everything structural is in place. Put the choker on after perfume and lotion, store it on its own, and the nacre will stay bright for years.

Handmade and collectible.

Is 14k gold-filled real gold?
Yes, in the sense that counts for wear. Gold-filled has a genuine layer of 14k gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core, which is far thicker than gold plating and will not flake or rub off with normal wear. Andrea works in 14k gold-filled, solid 14k, and sterling silver; for this choker she chose 14k gold-filled because it holds its finish through daily contact.
How do I care for pearls?
Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, so they ask for a little care. Put the choker on last, after perfume and lotion, and take it off first. Store it on its own so nothing scratches the nacre surface. Kept this way, grade-A freshwater pearls hold their luster for years.
What are the pearls in this piece?
Two freshwater 9-10mm grade-A pearls, hand-selected for their rounded surface and clean, even luster. The 9-10mm size reads as a genuine statement on the neck without being heavy. Grade-A is the quality tier Andrea sources for Aglow pieces where the pearl is the focal point.
What is the Aglow collection?
Aglow is Andrea Li’s collection of gilded, collectible jewelry: pieces in 14k gold-filled and solid 14k that are built to be worn, stacked, and lived in. Each one is designed to enhance your natural form with a touch of considered luxury.
