Fit: How to Position and How to Wear it:

Understanding the fit of a necklace is critical to envisioning it on you.
With a total length of 71 cm (about 28 inches) for the longer strand and a short strand of 67 cm (about 26.4 inches), this three-strand necklace offers a versatile and very stylish fit.

* Long and Sophisticated: This length makes it a “matinee” or “opera” necklace, which means that the longer strand will tend to fall elegantly below the neckline, often at breast height or just below, depending on your height and constitution.

– Evening or Off-the-shoulder Dresses: Its length and sumptuousness make it perfect to complement evening dresses or sheath dresses, drawing attention with its cascade of pearls.
– Comfort and Impact: Despite its volume given by the three strands, the weight distribution of 222 g (about 7.83 ounces) and the knots between the beads ensure that it falls softly and comfortably, wrapping around the neck gracefully.
* Central Transformable:

– As Closure: When worn with the centerpiece as a front closure, it becomes a magnificent decorative element, perfect for enhancing V-necks or embellishing a simple dress.
– As a Pendant: The detachable pendant, at 6.7 cm (about 2.6 inches) in length and 23.8 g (about 0.84 ounces) in weight, is perfect for wearing on a shorter chain or lanyard, falling at chest level, ideal for an elegant everyday look or to add a touch of sophistication to a blouse or sweater.

Care and Preservation of Your Jewelry:

To keep the beauty and luster of your necklace intact over time, proper storage is essential.

* Cleaning: For daily cleaning, simply use a soft, dry cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, brushes, or abrasive materials that could damage the surface of the beads and metal.
* Avoid Contact with Chemical Substances: Beads, in particular, are delicate. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, creams, lotions or any other harsh chemicals. It is always advisable to wear the necklace as a last accessory after applying make-up and perfumes.
* Excessive Sweat: Excessive sweating can also dull the beads and oxidize the metal over time. If the necklace has been in contact with sweat, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth (water only), then dry it well before storing it.
* Ideal Storage: To protect your necklace from scratches, dust and moisture, store it in the complimentary soft velvet pouch. The velvet creates a protective environment that prevents friction with other jewelry and insulates against changes in temperature and humidity. Ideally, store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent them from scratching each other.
* Away from Direct Light and Heat Sources: Avoid leaving the necklace exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods or near heat sources (e.g., radiators), as this may alter the color of the beads and stress the metal.

By following these simple steps, your necklace will retain its luster and be with you for many years to come, continuing to tell its story of elegance and charm.
