Of course. We’re always happy to help you choose the right pearl necklace, whether it’s for yourself or as a gift. You can get in touch via our contact page for friendly, personal advice.
Are your pearl necklaces made with real pearls?
Yes, all of our pearl necklaces are made using genuine freshwater pearls. Each pearl is carefully selected for its natural beauty, soft lustre, and quality before being handcrafted into a timeless necklace.
How can I tell if a pearl is real?
The best way to tell if a pearl is real is by doing the "tooth test". You can rub a pearl on the surface of your front tooth to see if it is genuine. If it feels grainy, rough and like a stone would feel, then that is a real pearl. If it is slippery then this is a glass pearl. We also use very high quality glass pearls in some of our designs but will always state this is the product description.
Are your pearl necklaces handmade?
Yes, every pearl necklace at Watermeadow Lane is handmade in the UK. Our necklaces are hand-knotted using traditional techniques, ensuring durability, comfort, and a beautiful fluid movement when worn.
What is the benefit of a hand-knotted pearl necklace?
Hand-knotting protects each pearl from rubbing against each other, and dirt getting inside the pearls. This helps to prevent damage and wear over time. It also gives the necklace a supple, flexible feel and allows it to sit beautifully against the skin.
Are pearl necklaces worth the investment?
A handmade pearl necklace is a timeless piece that can be worn for years and even passed down. With proper care and occasional restringing, pearl jewellery retains both its beauty and sentimental value.
