Designed For
Designed for those who prefer a subtle elevation of everyday elegance, this golden pearl pendant necklace is made to be worn with ease — from daily styling to meaningful occasions. Delicate and lightweight, it’s a timeless piece you can return to long after special moments, effortlessly transitioning between everyday wear and refined celebrations.
The Story & Design
In traditional Chinese jewellery design, gold has long symbolised prosperity, longevity, and celebration, often expressed through ornate decorative forms. While rich in meaning, these expressions can sometimes feel too elaborate for modern life. This gold and freshwater pearl pendant necklace reinterprets that heritage into modern Chinese jewellery that feels refined, wearable, and contemporary.
Featuring our signature golden orb, inspired by historical Chinese gold detailing, a single luminous freshwater pearl is suspended below, creating a thoughtful balance between traditional symbolism and modern simplicity. Handcrafted and elegant, this modern Chinese pearl necklace honours heritage in its most understated form, timeless, restrained, and beautifully modern.
Materials & Specifications
All materials are sourced from China as a nod to its Silk Road heritage.
Note: Freshwater pearls & gemstones will have slight irregularities like bumps, ridges, pits, or scratches.

Customer Reviews
- JessVerified Buyer1 year agoReviewingSnowflake Pearl & Crystal Pendant NecklaceRated 5 out of 5 starsObsessed with this necklace
This necklace is actually perfection in a jewellery piece. The design is classic and can be worn for an elevated casual look, or for a more dressy occasion. I've worn this with a dress, and with a tshirt, and both times they've made the whole outfit look more put together. I love the practical details Akina put into this too- there's some pearls at the back to hold the necklace in place, and the pendant is made into the necklace so it's not constantly sliding up and down. LOVE LOVE LOVEE this!
- Liz P.Verified Buyer1 year agoReviewingDainty Pearl & Crystal NecklaceRated 5 out of 5 starsClassic elegance!
This necklace is a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern flair. The quality is exceptional, and I love how versatile it is. Whether I'm dressing up for a special occasion or going casual, it adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. I love that I was also able to ask for adjustable lengths for the necklace as well. So pretty!

A very beautiful and unique necklace , That I plan to wear everyday :) !
Also has a very cool addition at the back ( A pearl that helps weigh the necklace down and stop it from moving around ) which is a great design choice !
