MOTHER OF PEARL OLEANDER NECKLACE
The Mother of Pearl Oleander Necklace is a softly romantic statement collar designed for the woman who wants polish without weight. Hand-knotted faux baroque pearls in graduated sizes sit on an ivory cord with a delicate floral centerpiece and petite pearl cluster, finished with 14k gold-plated hardware and the signature logo charm. At 16 inches with a 3-inch extender, it sits beautifully at the collarbone — close to the face, where pearl light catches the skin. This is a piece that elevates a simple white tee, modernizes a slip dress, and instantly reads bridal-adjacent for showers, rehearsal dinners, and spring occasions. Soft, feminine, intentionally crafted — pair it with quiet accessories and let the necklace lead.
10 Ways to Wear It
- Layer it over a crisp white poplin button-down with sleeves rolled at the wrist; add small pearl huggies and a slim gold bangle so the collar remains the hero.
- Style it with a strapless ivory cashmere sweater and tailored wide-leg trousers; pair with our Crystal Mini Studs and a low ponytail for a quiet-luxury office moment.
- Layer it on top of a simple white tee and high-waisted relaxed denim; throw on our oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses and a woven leather basket bag for a polished weekend look.
- Pair it with a black silk slip dress and our Pearl Drop Earrings for an elegant dinner ensemble where the neckline frames the collar.
- Wear it solo over a soft oatmeal ribbed knit dress with our Crystal Huggies and a sleek low chignon for a tonal, modern daytime look.
- Layer two — the Oleander over a longer 22-inch gold chain with a single freshwater pearl drop — with small pearl studs and a chunky gold signet ring for an editorial stack.
- Style with a crisp chambray shirt unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves pushed up, and our Slim Crystal Cuff peeking from the cuff for French-girl off-duty polish.
- Pair it under a sharp black blazer over a silk camisole; add our Tortoiseshell Hair Clip set to the side and pointed-toe slingbacks for a boardroom-to-bar transition.
- Layer it over a sheer ivory blouse with a camisole underneath; pair with our Pearl Hoops, a structured top-handle bag, and a sleek center-part for a gallery-opening look.
- Style with a cream sweater set, pearl mini studs, and our Satin Headband pushed back for a soft, romantic brunch look that lets the necklace sit center stage.
Occasions
- Mother-of-the-bride luncheon or rehearsal dinner where pearl-on-pearl reads intentional and refined
- Sunday brunch at a design-district café with the girls, paired with a crisp poplin shirt and oversized sunglasses
- Gallery opening or museum preview night — wear it over a simple slip to let the artwork and the pearls share the spotlight
- Bridal shower or engagement party as the guest who always looks pulled together without upstaging the bride
- After-work drinks on a rooftop, layered under a black blazer with a sleek low chignon
How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear hair smooth and center-parted, tucked behind both ears, so the floral centerpiece and graduated pearls frame the face and catch the light.
PonytailA sleek low ponytail at the nape keeps the collar necklace fully visible and elongates the neckline — our Crystal-Embellished Hair Tie keeps it elevated.
Half-UpA soft half-up with face-framing tendrils and our Crystal Pinned-Back Clip keeps the silhouette romantic and lets the necklace sit cleanly above the collar.
BunA low polished chignon with a center part — secure with our Satin Headband for a finish that lets the necklace be the focal point of the entire look.

Styling Tips
- Keep other jewelry in the same pearl-and-gold family so the hand-knotted pearls and 14k gold hardware feel intentional, not mixed.
- Skip a bold earring when wearing this up high at the collarbone — small studs, huggies, or mini drops keep focus on the floral centerpiece.
- Use the 3-inch extender to drop the necklace slightly over a crewneck, or wear it at full 16 inches to sit right on the collarbone with a V-neck or open shirt.
- Store flat in the signature striped pouch to keep the hand-knotted ivory cord from stretching and to protect the faux baroque pearls from scratching.
