Questions about this piece
What are keishi pearls? +
Keishi are natural freshwater pearls that form in organic, petal-like shapes rather than perfect rounds. Each one is a little different, which gives the Vanilla Orchid set its soft, sensual character. Paired here with Ethiopian opal for an iridescent play of color.
Is this set right for a wedding? +
Yes. The creamy keishi pearl and opal palette is bridal but not costume, and the three strands let you scale the look from a single delicate line to a fuller layered statement. After the wedding, every strand is wearable on its own as an everyday piece.
Can each strand be worn on its own? +
Yes. The set comes in three lengths so you can wear them stacked together, or pick a single strand for a quieter look. The longest strand layers easily with other dainty necklaces from Sarah's Orchid Bloom collection.
How do I care for pearls and opal? +
Pearls and opals are softer than most gemstones and prefer to be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Avoid lotions, perfume, and water. Store flat in the pouch provided. Full instructions on the jewelry care page.
