The diamond pavé beads are set at just the right points to catch the light as you move. It’s a classic pearl necklace, but with three little anchors of sparkle that draw the eye in and break up the traditional strand.

This is a single strand of round, natural white pearls, each one reflecting a soft, even light. The pattern is interrupted by three spherical beads completely covered in tiny, brilliant-cut diamonds. One pavé diamond bead sits at the centre bottom, with two more placed symmetrically higher up on each side. The whole necklace hangs in a soft curve, and at 16 inches long, it's designed to sit right on the collarbone.

The underlying structure of this necklace is 18-karat solid gold, which means it's 75% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength. You get that deep, rich gold colour, but it’s durable enough for regular wear. The pearls are natural, not synthetic, so each has its own subtle character. The diamonds are also natural, and they’re pavé-set by hand into the gold beads. This setting places the stones close together, creating what looks like an unbroken surface of sparkle.

People choose this necklace when a simple pearl strand feels a bit too traditional. The three diamond beads give it a more contemporary feel and a different kind of texture and light. It’s a way to wear classic pearls but with a detail that feels a little more modern and personal.
