Understanding This Piece
About Pearl
Pearls are the only major gemstones produced by living organisms — formed when a mollusk coats an irritant with layers of nacre over months or years. Modern fine-jewelry pearls are typically Akoya (Japan, classic round), South Sea (Australia, large with golden or silver tones), or Tahitian (French Polynesia, dark with peacock overtones). Pearls score just 2.5–4.5 on Mohs and require gentle care: wipe with a damp cloth after wearing, store separately from harder jewelry, and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, and chlorine. Pearl is the June birthstone and 30th-anniversary gem.
About Fashion Necklaces
Fashion necklaces are trend-driven designs that emphasize style innovation over heritage construction — often featuring distinctive shapes, contemporary geometric elements, mixed-media construction, or signature designer detailing. Every fashion piece at ATL Luxury Jewelers is still hand-finished and crafted in solid precious metal (not plated alloys) so the design holds up to long-term wear.
