Minimalist freshwater pearl necklaces and simple single pearl pendants on sterling silver chains.

Minimalist & Contemporary Pearl Necklaces

Our minimalist pearl necklaces have been a cornerstone of Nude Jewellery since long before our studio doors first opened. Our founder and designer, Nikki Galloway, first shared these minimalist designs at independent craft markets and shows, where their simple elegance made them an immediate bestseller. Today, the 'Alto' collection and our signature silver and pearl pendants remain a favourite for those seeking understated jewellery that transitions effortlessly from the office to a black-tie evening.

Contemporary Design & Natural Lustre

We specialise in pearls that offer a fresh, alternative to the norm. Our range features a diverse array of natural hues, from soft pinks and warm peaches to the sophisticated metallic shimmer of black pearls with their green and purple hues. By pairing high-quality freshwater cultured pearls with architectural silver and gold work—including our unique one-of-a-kind tension-set pieces—we create necklaces that are both minimalist and undeniably unique.

Did you know? A pearl’s natural hue is influenced by its organic environment and the iridescent inner "lip" of the mollusc. To tell if a pearl is real, try the 'fingernail' test: gently rub it against the surface. A real pearl will feel slightly gritty or rough due to its natural crystalline structure, whereas a synthetic bead will feel perfectly smooth.
