Cultured pearls wear well at a wedding, at the office, on a Tuesday. Their versatility is real and one of the category's most useful and underrated properties.
Myth & Meaning
Pearl's associations with purity, new beginnings, and the moon give it specific resonance in bridal contexts across Western and Asian traditions. In American culture, the pearl strand was a standard bridal accessory for much of the 20th century. For a June-born recipient who is engaged or recently married, a pearl piece carries symbolic relevance to both the birth month and the occasion simultaneously.
Built For Ease
To open a leverback, the small hinged lever at the rear is pressed downward or forward, pivoting the gate away from the wire terminal and opening the loop. Releasing the lever returns the spring-loaded gate to its closed and locked position.
