In short: a pearl necklace is a gift that lasts over time if you choose three things well: the type of pearl, the metal, and the length. On lelunegioielli.it, 18kt gold LELUNE necklaces with pearls range from approximately €168 to €845, while 925 sterling silver LELUNE Glamour necklaces start at around €41. All are designed by COSCIA, a company based in Torre del Greco that has specialized in pearls since 1919.
Why give a pearl necklace as a gift
The pearl is one of the few pieces of jewelry that never goes out of style: it can be worn with a formal dress or a white shirt, at twenty or at seventy. It is also the birthstone associated with the month of June and with pearl anniversaries (30 years of marriage), which is why it is a gift that carries deep meaning, not just aesthetic value.
1. Choose the type of pearl
- Freshwater cultured pearls: the most common in LELUNE collections, offering a great balance of quality and price with shapes ranging from round to baroque.
- Baroque pearls: irregularly shaped, each one different from the next. Perfect for those who love a contemporary style. Learn more in our guide to baroque pearl necklaces.
- Tahitian pearls: featuring dark, metallic tones for a bolder and more original gift.
To understand the differences between varieties, read Akoya, Tahitian, and freshwater: the complete guide and the LELUNE pearl guide.
2. Choose the metal: 18kt gold or 925 sterling silver
18kt gold (LELUNE and LELUNE Diamonds lines) is the choice for an important gift meant to be passed down: anniversaries, weddings, graduations. The 925 sterling silver of the Glamour line is ideal for a thoughtful gift with a smaller budget, or for those who like to change their jewelry often. If you are undecided, you can find a complete comparison in 925 sterling silver or 18kt gold: which one to choose.
3. Choose the right length
- Choker (40–42 cm): classic, it highlights open necklines and collars.
- Princess (43–48 cm): the most versatile length, suitable for almost any look. It is the safest choice if you are unsure of the recipient's tastes.
- Long (over 60 cm): can also be worn doubled, perfect over sweaters and turtlenecks.
