Victoria Mason — Silver 'To Hold' Necklace with Freshwater Pearl

The 'To Hold' Pendant is the centrepiece of the collection. Its strong curved & straight lines marry beautifully with the polished silver and soft white freshwater pearl. This bold design is beautiful from every angle & will be perfect for everyday wear (please see care notes).

The To Hold series is about balance,protecting what's precious while still allowing it space. Fresh Water pearls are gems that are fully formed in nature. Strength & beauty, solid & soft, the To Hold earrings are an easy choice in a busy world.
