Pearl Necklaces: Timeless Luxury

Pearl necklaces have long symbolized elegance, purity, and enduring style. At Market Square Jewelers, our estate collection of pearl necklaces celebrates that legacy with strands that are rich in history and handcrafted beauty. Most of our pearl necklaces are meticulously hand-strung on silk; an artisanal technique that enhances both their drape and durability.

From delicate single strands to luxurious multi-layered designs, our vintage and antique pearl necklaces are perfect for marking life’s milestones or adding a touch of classic refinement to your everyday look.

A Legacy in Every Luster

Our collection features a wide array of pearls from luminous Akoya and freshwater to exotic Tahitian and South Sea varieties. Each necklace is chosen for the quality of its pearls, the integrity of its craftsmanship, and the charm of its original era.

Hand-strung on silk thread and often finished with vintage gold or silver clasps, these necklaces reflect both the care of the artisan and the character of the time in which they were made.

Styles That Never Fade

– Classic single-strand pearl necklaces: Effortlessly elegant and perfect for every occasion.
– Graduated pearl strands: A vintage favorite that adds dimension and visual interest.
– Opera-length and layered styles: Ideal for making a sophisticated statement.
– Baroque and mixed-shape pearls: Unique textures and silhouettes for a more organic, artistic look.

Why Choose Estate Pearl Necklaces?

There’s something extraordinary about wearing a strand of pearls that has already lived a lifetime. Estate pearl necklaces offer both sustainability and timeless appeal, with the added charm of vintage detail and historic design.

Each piece in our collection has been carefully examined for luster, surface quality, and string integrity. Some have been re-strung by our in-house jewelers to ensure they’re ready to be cherished for decades to come but most came to us as is in incredible like-new condition.

Caring for Hand-Strung Pearl Necklaces

Pearls are delicate and deserve gentle care. Always put on your pearls last after cosmetics and perfume and store them flat in a soft cloth pouch to prevent stretching. Pearls should not be cleaned with harsh chemicals and you should avoid layering other materials with pearls as they are easily scratched.
