Sale - Marguerite Necklace
Marguerite Necklace
ENLARGE

In Roman times, pearls were brought back from the Orient by merchants. If large and perfect, the pearl was called unio, meaning “unique.” Romans also used the word "margaritae" (from the Greek word for pearl), indicating something of unusual value. Ever since, the name “Margaret” in all forms (such as Marguerite and Margarita) has been associated with pearl-like qualities: purity, chastity, and grace.

Pink cultured freshwater pearls, with a sterling silver clasp. Length approximately 17 1/2 in. (The size of the pearls may vary, thus changing the length of each necklace).

Original price $135
