FAQs

What are freshwater pearls and how are they different?

Freshwater pearls are cultured in mussels that live in lakes and rivers. Unlike the perfectly round shapes of saltwater pearls, freshwater varieties are loved for their soft, irregular forms and subtle colour variations. This means that every freshwater pearl is individual, just like its wearer.

What does wearing a pearl necklace symbolise?

Pearls are long associated with purity, wisdom, and grace. In modern jewellery wear, a pearl necklace is often chosen to mark moments of self-expression, personal growth, or special relationships.

Are freshwater pearl necklaces still fashionable?

Yes, more than ever. Pearls are no longer just for formal occasions, but can be used to bring classic style to any outfit. Our collection includes versatile styles such as pearl choker necklaces - a staple item fit for any wardrobe.

How can I tell if a freshwater pearl necklace is real?

Real freshwater pearls have a unique texture and weight. Unlike synthetics, they are cool to the touch and display natural, subtle imperfections that enhance their beauty and authenticity.

Can I wear a freshwater pearl necklace every day?

Absolutely. While pearls are delicate, Francesca’s freshwater pearl necklaces are thoughtfully crafted for comfort and durability. Avoid direct contact with water, perfumes, and lotions to maintain their lustre over time.
