Pearls are a staple of wedding necklaces.

Pearls are widely recognized as formal jewelry worn on ceremonial occasions in Japan.
Nowadays, it is more like a form of etiquette rather than jewelry for dressing up.

Apparently, people started wearing pearls at weddings around the time when Japanese clothing changed from Japanese to Western clothing.
As people began to wear Western clothes, the culture of wearing jewelry began to spread.
At this time, Japan succeeded in cultivating Akoya pearls for the first time in the world, and Japanese pearls came to be recognized around the world.

At that time, baroque-shaped pearls were the mainstream, but with the creation of cultured pearls, it became possible to produce perfectly round pearls.
Akoya pearls, which astounded the world, are a world-renowned Japanese gemstone, and it is said that they naturally came to be used as a gemstone suitable for high-class weddings.

Unlike parties, weddings have their own etiquette.
There are some rules that you should follow when wearing a pearl necklace.
Let's take a look at specific pearl necklace etiquette.

Basic manners

There are certain rules regarding pearl jewelry used at weddings.
The key points are length and pearl type.

The most formal thing to wear at a wedding is a series of length necklaces.
It is approximately 40cm to 43cm long, and when worn, the pearls line up in a row above the collarbone.
With this length, the pearls do not sway or bend, creating a dignified beauty and elegance.
Because of its simplicity, the impression can easily change depending on the quality of the pearls.

The most common type of pearl is white Akoya pearl.
High-quality Akoya pearls have a strength that other pearls do not have, giving off a simple yet high-quality shine.

A two-strand or three-strand necklace will add a touch of glamor to your wedding.
However, please be sure to balance the look when coordinating your outfit so that it doesn't go too long or look too flattering.
Add a touch of elegance to your look by layering a diamond pendant over a string of pearl necklaces.

On the other hand, pearls that are too long are not recommended.
There is a risk of hitting the pearls on the table while eating, which can be distracting and make it difficult to move.

Also, it is best to avoid necklaces that are black or gray as they have the image of mourning.
Among black pearls, black lipped pearls are expensive and rare, so there is no problem wearing them at weddings, but in Japan, black pearls are widely associated with funerals, so it is best to avoid them if there is a possibility of misunderstanding. That's fine.

Also, a deformed baroque style will give you a casual image.
Make sure to choose a shape that is a perfect circle or something close to it.

How to choose a pearl necklace for a wedding

When choosing a pearl necklace for a wedding, it is important to balance quality and pearl size.

What we would like you to pay particular attention to is quality.
High quality pearls are more durable and can be used for a long time.
Therefore, be sure to choose one with the intention of using it for a long time, 20 to 30 years.
The size of the beads will vary depending on your age and physique, so it is best to choose the size that suits you.

One thing that is often forgotten is the length adjustment.
If the pearl necklace is not the best length, its noble beauty will be halved.
Let them adjust it to the length that works best for you.

If you're buying at a store, it's a good idea to wear the outfit you'll wear to the wedding or bring a photo with you so you can adjust the length.
This is because even if you match the length to the best length for everyday wear, depending on the condition of the neckline of the costume, it may end up getting inside the costume.

When choosing a store, we recommend a store with good after-sales service.
Jewelry is meant to be used for a long time, so be sure to find a store you can trust to maintain it even after 3 or 5 years.

Where to buy a pearl necklace for a wedding

The most common type of pearl jewelry worn when invited to a wedding is a string of Akoya pearls.
As for the length, we recommend the princess one, where the strings are taut and the pearls lined up in a row look beautiful.
Adding an arrangement by layering them will create a more gorgeous impression.

I want to be particular about the quality of the pearls because they are meant to be used for a long time.
If you purchase from a store that you have a long-term relationship with, you can be assured of after-sales maintenance.
