The Round Freshwater Pearl Necklace is a handcrafted freshwater pearl and sterling silver necklace made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Oceanic Collection, a series inspired by marine life, shells, water forms and the textures of the South Australian coastline.
This necklace is made with round freshwater pearls, chosen for their soft lustre, organic surface and gentle connection to the sea. The design has a refined, classic quality while still feeling natural and quietly individual.
Finished with sterling silver details and an extension chain for adjustable wear, the necklace is designed to sit beautifully at the neckline. The result is elegant, ocean-inspired and connected to natural material, softness and the handmade process.
Materials: Freshwater pearls and sterling silver
Process: Each necklace is handmade in small quantities using traditional jewellery-making techniques. The freshwater pearls are selected for their overall balance, lustre and shape, though slight differences in pearl surface and tone should be expected as part of working with natural materials.
Dimensions: Necklace length: 46 cm, with 4.5 cm extension chain.
Pearls: approximately 10–12 mm round.

FAQ
Q1: Are the pearls real freshwater pearls?
A: Yes. The necklace is made with real freshwater pearls, chosen for their soft lustre, rounded form and natural surface character.
Q2: Will the freshwater pearls look exactly the same as the photo?
A: No. Freshwater pearls are natural materials, so each pearl may vary slightly in tone, surface, shape and lustre. I select pearls with a similar overall feel and balance, so each necklace keeps the same refined character while still showing natural variation.
Q3: How do I care for the Round Freshwater Pearl Necklace?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions, harsh chemicals and prolonged moisture. Wipe the pearls gently with a soft cloth after wear, and polish only the sterling silver components with a jewellery cloth. Do not place freshwater pearls in silver dip.
