Laevie Flora Petal Pearl Pendant Necklace

A petal pearl grows without a nucleus, which means it is nacre all the way through — nothing at its center but more of itself. The Flora suspends one of these paper-thin, solid-nacre forms from a fine sterling chain: the least jewelry that can still be called jewelry, and the reason it works.

The pendant lies almost flush against the skin and moves with breath rather than gesture, throwing a soft iridescent flash when it turns. At its adjustable 16.5-to-18.5-inch length it settles just below the collarbone — the exact height for an open shirt collar or a scoop-neck knit. It is the necklace a pared-down wardrobe wears on the days everything else stays in the pouch, and it layers under the Lyra or Vienna when the occasion asks for more.

One genuine petal freshwater pearl, approximately 10–12mm, solid nacre throughout, hand-graded in-house for luster, surface, and orient. Chain, textured bail, and spring-ring clasp in hypoallergenic, nickel-free 925 sterling silver. 16.5-inch chain with 2-inch extender. Freshwater-farmed in clean-water environments — grown, not 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.
