Prized natural royal purple pearls create the three-strand Iolanthe Necklace set with 14ct white gold, elegantly layered for relaxed yet precious style

Purple is one of the rarest and most prized colours in pearl jewellery. In the large, high quality natural purple pearls in this three-strand layered necklace, there is something innately elegant and confident about wearing something so precious in such a nonchalant way.

The overtones in these remarkable pearls are a gorgeous royal purple, the size graduating from 11mm to 14mm, individually chosen by our South Seas pearl jeweller to create this beautiful necklace, which is named Iolanthe.

Purple pearls are said to symbolise wisdom, nobility, passion and the artistic nature. Be that as it may, this pearl necklace is certainly a work of natural beauty. The length of this fabulous necklace is 17in. The clasp (not shown) is 14ct white gold.
