Choose a detail you love
Start with a piece you can imagine wearing with clothes already in your wardrobe. For a soft finish, look at freshwater pearls. For a personal keepsake, try an opening heart locket. Shells and ocean charms bring a more playful feel.
The Vintage Heart Locket Earrings have hinged lockets, while the Mermaid Charms Necklace combines freshwater pearls with sea-inspired details. Each product page lists its materials; check the linked Etsy listing for current options before ordering.
Find a comfortable fit
Compare the listed length with a necklace or bracelet you already enjoy wearing. For a necklace, lay that piece flat and measure it from end to end, including the clasp. Notice where it sits with your usual neckline.
An extender can help you adjust the position, but it is not included with every design. The Textured Coin Layering Necklace and Mermaid Charms Necklace list a 5 cm extension. If you need a different fit, ask Marianne through Etsy before purchasing.
Leave a little room between layers
Choose one focal piece, then keep its companion simpler. A pearl strand can sit above a longer pendant, while statement earrings work beautifully with an open neckline. Check the lengths before combining two necklaces so their pendants do not sit directly on top of each other.
For a wedding, begin with your neckline and hairstyle. A bridal pearl piece can be the main detail, or you can pair subtle earrings with a necklace. Try everything together before the day to check comfort and movement.
A gentle routine for pearls & plated details
Put jewelry on after perfume, hair products and cosmetics. After wearing pearls, wipe them gently with a clean, very soft cloth. Keep them separate from harder pieces that could scratch their surface, and away from excessive heat.
Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners on pearls. A finished piece may also contain plated metal, thread or decorative details, so follow its own care instructions before trying a cleaning product. If you are unsure, ask about that specific design first.
