Baroque Pearl Drop Pendant Gold-Filled Necklace

$865.00

This Baroque Pearl Drop Pendant Gold-Filled Necklace is handmade by Andrea Li: Freshwater baroque pearls (grown two years for thick lustrous nacre) suspended from a hand-fabricated 12 gauge 14K gold-filled wire circle with a diameter of 2″, on a gold-filled chain drop. Pendant length 11″; total necklace length 36″. It is part of Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry meant to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

Baroque pearls are the irregular ones, each shaped differently by the way the oyster grew around the nucleus over two full years of cultivation. That growth time is not decorative language. Thick nacre is what gives a pearl its depth of luster, the quality that separates a piece from the surface and makes it glow rather than shine. The 2″ 14K gold-filled wire circle is fabricated entirely by hand in the studio, shaped and finished before the pearls are set.

Pearls are soft, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and they ask for a little care: put this on after lotion and perfume, store it separately from harder stones, and wipe it gently after wearing. Treated that way, the nacre holds its depth and the gold-filled components keep their warmth for years of real wear.

A rare and collectible limited release.

From the Aglow collection. Explore more at andreali.com/aglow or read the pearl gemstone guide for more on how nacre forms and what sets one pearl apart from another.

What is a baroque pearl?
A baroque pearl is a freshwater pearl that grew without a perfectly round nucleus, so each one forms its own irregular shape over the cultivation period. These pearls were grown two years to build thick, lustrous nacre, which is what gives them their depth of glow rather than a surface shine. No two baroque pearls are identical, which is why Andrea uses them for pieces where the variation is part of the design.
What is this made of?
Freshwater baroque pearls (grown two years for thick lustrous nacre); hand-fabricated 12 gauge 14K gold-filled wire circle with a diameter of 2″; gold-filled chain drop. Pendant length 11″; total necklace length 36″.
How do I care for pearls?
Pearls sit around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, making them the softest material in most jewelry collections. Put this necklace on last, after lotion and perfume, so nothing coats the nacre. Take it off first, wipe it gently with a soft cloth, and store it away from harder stones that could scratch the surface. Treated this way, the luster holds for years. Read more in the pearl gemstone guide.
What is the Aglow collection?
Aglow is Andrea Li’s modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry: gilded, collectible pieces designed to be stacked and layered to enhance your natural form. Each one is a timeless companion meant to elevate everyday living with a touch of luxury.
