Rika Minimalist Freshwater Pearl Necklace

For the one who knows that less is always more.

A single irregular freshwater pearl sits at the centre of the finest snake chain. No pendant, no setting, no fuss. Just the pearl, the chain, and the collarbone.

The irregularity is the point. Each pearl grows in its own shape, with its own soft glow, so no two are exactly alike. Every Rika is entirely hers.

The snake chain in 925 sterling silver is so fine it almost disappears against the skin, and the pearl seems to float, as if it found its way there on its own. At 46cm, it rests just below the collarbone. The 6cm extender lets you bring it lower for an open neckline, or shorten it for a layered stack.

Wear it alone and it holds its own with quiet confidence. Layer it with fine chains and it becomes the one detail your eye keeps returning to. Either way, it's a minimalist pearl necklace that doesn't try to be anything more than it is.

It arrives in an MNML Book Box, ready to give or keep.

FAQ

Is the pearl on the Rika necklace real?
Yes. The Rika uses a genuine freshwater pearl, not a glass or shell imitation. Its irregular oval shape is a natural feature of freshwater pearls, so every necklace is slightly different.

What size is the pearl on the Rika necklace?
The pearl is approximately 9mm wide and 7mm high. Because each one is genuine, sizes vary slightly from piece to piece.

Where does a 46cm necklace sit on the neck?
At 46cm, the Rika rests just below the collarbone on most people. The 6cm extender lets you wear it anywhere from 46cm to 52cm, depending on your neckline and whether you're layering.

Why is the pearl irregular instead of perfectly round?
Freshwater pearls grow in organic shapes, and the Rika keeps that character on purpose. The irregular form gives each pearl its own silhouette and softer glow, so no two Rika necklaces look exactly alike.

How do I care for a freshwater pearl necklace?
Pearls are soft and porous, so treat them gently. Put the Rika on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take it off first. Wipe the pearl with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing, and never soak it or use jewellery cleaner on it. Store it on its own in its box so harder pieces can't scratch the pearl.

Can I shower or swim with the Rika necklace?
No. Take it off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Water, chlorine and sweat can dull the pearl's lustre and speed up tarnishing on the silver chain.

Will the sterling silver chain tarnish?
Sterling silver can darken over time, especially in humid weather or with regular contact with skin products. Keep the chain away from perfume and lotion, wipe it gently after wearing, and store it dry. Avoid silver dips or polishing cloths near the pearl, as they can damage its surface.

Can the snake chain kink?
Snake chains are smooth but less flexible than link chains, and a sharp bend can leave a permanent kink. Lay the Rika flat or hang it when storing, and don't wrap it tightly or bunch it with other jewellery.

Can I layer the Rika with other necklaces?
Yes. The fine chain and single pearl layer well with other delicate chains. Set the Rika at a different length using the extender so each necklace has its own space on the neckline.

Does the Rika come gift-ready?
Yes. The Rika arrives in an MNML Book Box, ready to give.
