Tiny Lavender Pearl Necklace

Tiny lavender pearls with a cool, soft lustre, made for everyday wear. The colour is gentle enough for work and pretty enough for everything after.

Wear it on its own, or next to a white strand for a little contrast. A tiny lavender pearl necklace that goes with everything.

How to love your pearls

Pearls aren't like diamonds. They're soft, they're organic, and they love being worn. Here's how I look after mine:

• Last on, first off. Perfume, hairspray and body oil first, then pearls. Take them off before the shower, the sea, the pool or the gym.
• A slow wipe at night. When they come off, run a soft cloth over them. The one you use for your glasses is perfect. It takes ten seconds and keeps the glow.
• Give them their own space. Keep them in a soft pouch or wrapped in silk, away from gold, diamonds and anything that could scratch them. Never in a plastic bag. Pearls like to breathe.
• Wear them often. Pearls left in a drawer go dull. Pearls that are worn stay warm and luminous. So don't save them for special occasions. Wear them on Tuesdays.
