Necklace (Princess Length)
Most pearl necklaces hide their clasps. This one celebrates it. The Hardly Common Flower Clasp Pearl Necklace features our signature botanical-inspired clasp in our signature gold-plated brass — designed to be worn at the front as a statement piece or at the back for understated elegance.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & MATERIALS
• 7-8mm AAA Grade Freshwater Pearls — Strong luster with near-round shape
• Signature gold-plated brass flower clasp — a wearable work of art
• Length: 45cm — versatile princess length that works with most necklines
• Pearl surface: Strong luster, minor natural characteristics
THE FLOWER CLASP STORY
Inspired by the peony — a symbol of prosperity, beauty, and honor in Eastern culture — our signature flower clasp turns a functional element into the focal point. Wear it at the nape for classic elegance, shift it to the side for asymmetric style, or let it rest at your collarbone as a pearl-and-gold pendant effect.
GOLD MEETS PEARL
The warm gold-plated brass tone of the clasp creates a quiet contrast against the cool white of the freshwater pearls. This two-tone effect gives the necklace a contemporary, luxury feel that bridges traditional pearl jewelry and modern gold jewelry trends.

Five qualities separate a good freshwater pearl from a great one. These are the same criteria we grade on ourselves.
Luster — The defining quality. A top-grade pearl reflects light almost like a mirror, with crisp edges instead of a soft haze. "Aurora luster" (what the Luxe uses) is the highest grade — a deep, three-dimensional glow from thick, well-ordered nacre.
Surface — Smooth, unblemished nacre. Minor markings are natural in most pearls; top-grade strands have them minimized or hidden at drilling points.
Shape — A truly round pearl rolls across a flat surface without wobbling. Near-round, off-round, baroque, and drop are progressively less symmetrical — each beautiful, at different price points.
Size — Measured in millimeters across the pearl's widest point. Larger sizes are exponentially rarer: a 9mm round freshwater pearl represents 3–5 years of cultivation, and most harvests never produce them in meaningful quantity.
Match — In a strand, consistency matters as much as any single pearl. Uniform color, gradient, and luster. A hand-matched strand reads as one piece of jewellery, not a collection.
A note on grades: AAAA+ is the top of our grading scale — pearls that satisfy all five criteria at once. They are selected, not produced.
To maintain the lustre of your pearls, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, and harsh chemicals. Store your pearls separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching.

The Hardly Common Experience
Crafted With Intention
When you choose Hardly Common, you become part of a story that spans generations. Each pearl is hand-selected for its natural beauty, then entrusted to our master artisans who transform it into a piece meant to endure — and to be cherished — for a lifetime and beyond.
Every strand is hand-strung and individually knotted between each pearl using premium Japanese silk thread. This traditional technique protects against pearl-to-pearl abrasion and ensures that if a strand ever breaks, only one pearl is at risk. Drilling, knotting, clasp fitting, and final alignment are done entirely by hand — a single strand takes two to three days to complete.
