Laevié Lyra Delicate Rice Pearl Strand Necklace

Rice pearls are small, elongated, and quietly luminous — nacre in its most understated grammar. The Lyra strings a continuous row of them into the thinnest possible version of a pearl strand: the piece that whispers where a classic strand announces.

At 4–5mm per pearl, the strand reads as a line of light rather than a row of objects, which is what lets it do two jobs: worn alone against bare skin or a fine knit, it is a complete thought; layered under a gold chain or beside the Flora Pendant, it becomes texture. It is the entry point to a pearl wardrobe and, for many, the piece that ends up worn most.

Cultured freshwater rice pearls, 4–5mm. Lobster clasp in 925 sterling silver. 16-inch length with 2-inch extender; light enough to forget it is on.

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. 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.
