Estate NECKLACE

The Estate Necklace is a strand of white shell beads closed with a gold toggle clasp, hung with cowrie, scallop and nautilus charms. It is a shell necklace rather than a chain with a charm — the beads run the whole way round.

At 42 cm and 31.2 g with a 6.33 cm charm drop, it has real presence on the neckline. This is the base layer of a stack, the piece the fine chains sit on top of.

Why You'll Love It

• Strand of white shell beads with a gold toggle clasp
• Hung with cowrie, scallop and nautilus charms
• 42 cm with a 6.33 cm charm drop
• Substantial at 31.2 g — it reads as a statement, not a detail
• Toggle clasp fastens easily, even one-handed
• The base layer for a stack of finer chains
• Natural shell, so every strand varies slightly

How to Style It

Shell brings a texture into a display that no metal chain can, which is why this sells beside the fine chains rather than against them. The Aria NECKLACE is the crystal layer to wear above it, the Dolce NECKLACE picks up the same shell in a single charm, and the Horizon NECKLACE is the alternative at a similar weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the chain metal or shell?
Shell. The strand is made of white shell beads; only the toggle clasp and the charm fittings are metal.

How should it be cared for?
Shell is a natural material — keep it away from perfume and harsh cleaners, and dry it after contact with water.

How heavy is it?
31.2 g, so it sits with weight rather than floating like a fine chain.

Estate — shells, all the way round.
