I’m a huge fan of pearls; always been – when I was a little girl, I had the prettiest pearl earrings and ring.
Fast forward many years, they are still part of my wardrobe, and the latest addition, Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily necklace, from JewelStreet, is definitely the star of the lot.
A super delicate feminine dealing, the Calla Lily pendant is a beautiful freshwater button pearl enclosed in a petite sterling silver cone. Lines are clean and it looks very polished from every angle.
This handcrafted piece is inspired by art nouveau and the artistry is rather impressive, the piece is elegant, superbly finished and of superior quality. The round-link chain is equally dainty and you can choose four different lengths.
I am in love – I often throw pearls into an outfit to bring that vintage feel in, but this piece, which will last for life, has a modern yet romantic feel to it.
Although very petite, it grabbed people’s attention and brought in compliments. The clasp is very tight fitting so it makes it a bit fiddly for someone like me (fat fingers!) to secure, but it means that the necklace is placed safely, which is a very fair trade off – I’d rather have peace of mind than ease of putting it on, to be honest. I also like the Emma-Kate tag on it.
Might sound silly, but upon receiving it, I could feel it was put together with love – it comes in a lovely box with bow and with a little pouch to keep it safe and a personal note from Emma-Kate. ❤
