Graduated AA Freshwater Semi-round Pearls 4-8mm – White

4-8mm Graduated White Freshwater Semi-round Pearls on a loose string – AA Grade

A graduated pearl string is one of the most classically elegant forms in jewellery making, and this string of white freshwater semi-rounds is a beautiful example of the style. Ranging from 4mm at the ends to a generous 8mm at the centre, the pearls increase in size in gentle, even steps that create a naturally flattering necklace shape, broader and more prominent at the front where the eye is drawn, tapering elegantly towards the clasp at the back.

This is the traditional form of the finest Akoya and saltwater pearl necklaces, and achieving it with high-lustre freshwater pearls at this price point represents exceptional value. With approximately 75 pearls to a 16-inch string there is plenty of material to work with, and the consistent warm white colour and high lustre across the full size range means the finished piece will look considered and intentional rather than assembled. For anyone wanting to create a truly classic pearl necklace, this is an excellent place to start.
