Each includes ½–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) of ease so the bracelet drapes and turns freely without sliding over your hand. Between sizes, size up. Outside this range? Message me your measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy this color is rare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pink-purple is the pearl's own body color, grown inside the mussel. Not dyed, not coated. Natural lavender is one of the scarcest freshwater colors, and most on the market is color-treated to imitate it. Treated pearls look flat and uniform; these shift between rose, mauve, and warm silver as the light moves, because each one grew on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat metallic luster means\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuster runs dull → satin → high → metallic. Metallic is the top grade: the surface reflects like polished chrome, sharp enough to catch a window's reflection in a single pearl. Luster is the biggest factor in a pearl's value, and the reason these read as expensive in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pearls are tissue-nucleated — solid nacre throughout, no bead core. The shine comes from the pearl's own crystal layers, not a coating over a shell bead, so it doesn't wear off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm pink-purple sits beautifully against gold — stack it with gold chains or a watch. Soft enough for daytime, bright enough for evening. A quieter alternative to white pearls for brides, bridesmaids, birthdays, graduations, and Mother's Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut it on last, after perfume, hairspray, and lotion\u003cbr\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing\u003cbr\u003eNo water, chlorine, saltwater, or ultrasonic cleaners\u003cbr\u003eStore flat in the pouch, out of direct sunlight\u003cbr\u003ePearls are soft (Mohs 2.5–4.5) — keep apart from metal jewelry\u003cbr\u003eKeep the clasp dry; plating wears with moisture and friction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFAQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre these dyed? No. The pink-lavender is the pearls' natural body color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre these real pearls? Yes — real freshwater pearls, cultured in mussels. Slight variation in shape and color between pearls is how you tell them from glass or plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does metallic luster mean? The highest luster grade — the surface reflects sharply, like polished metal, instead of glowing softly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs the clasp solid gold? No. Brass with 18K gold plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat size should I order? Medium (7 in) fits most women and is the standard in women's jewelry. Buying a gift and unsure? Choose Medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I shower or swim in it? No. Water and chlorine damage both nacre and plating. Take it off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions welcome — I reply within 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackaging and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour jewelry arrives in a protective gift box. Keep pearls away from perfume, lotion, water, and jewelry cleaners. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mae Atelier","offers":[{"title":"6.5 Inches","offer_id":67720232665394,"sku":"MAE-4556589554-01","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Inches","offer_id":67720232698162,"sku":"MAE-4556589554-02","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5 Inches","offer_id":67720232730930,"sku":"MAE-4556589554-03","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/3023\/4674\/files\/mae-4556589554-01-hero.png?v=1793395982","url":"https:\/\/mae-atelier.com\/products\/natural-lavender-freshwater-pearl-bracelet-metallic-luster-18k-gold-plated-clasp","provider":"Mae Pearl Atelier ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
