Laevie Flora Keshi Petal Pearl Necklace

Keshi pearls are the ones the oyster made on its own initiative — no seed, no core, solid nacre from surface to center. Strung whole into the Flora Necklace, their jagged petal forms interlock into a strand with the texture of something grown rather than manufactured, because that is precisely what it is.

The irregular petals sit at slight angles to one another, so light travels across the strand in a running shimmer rather than a row of dots — visible from across a room, legible as craft up close. At 16 to 18 inches it frames an open collar or a bateau neckline; on a bride it reads as heirloom rather than accessory. Wear it where a classic round strand would look inherited-by-default; the Flora looks chosen.

Genuine keshi petal freshwater pearls, approximately 5–6mm each, solid nacre throughout, hand-graded in-house for luster, surface, and orient. Hand-finished for a secure, fluid drape; lobster clasp and hardware in hypoallergenic, nickel-free 925 sterling silver. 16-inch length with 2-inch extender. Freshwater-farmed in clean-water environments — keshi formation itself is a byproduct of healthy cultivation, nothing added, nothing mined.

Care & Keeping

Pearls follow one rule above all: last on, first off. Finish your perfume, hairspray, and lotion before your jewelry touches skin, and remove it before anything else at day’s end. After each wear, pass a soft, lint-free cloth over the pearls to lift skin oils. Keep nacre clear of water, chlorine, and household chemicals, and store each piece separately in its Laevié pouch. Sterling silver revives with a gentle pass of a polishing cloth — kept away from the pearl itself. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam; a pearl’s structure is organic, and irreplaceable.
