Pearl Rope

Q: I am looking to purchase a white pearl rope. Can you tell me what the usual length is for a rope and how much they cost. I understand this will vary but I'd like to get an idea. Also do you have this item in stock or would it have to be made to order?

A: A rope necklace is usually about 36" or longer and can be as long as you like. The price range is really broad depending on the type, size, and grade quality of the pearls. At the moment we have a Monthly Special called "The City Strand" which is pearl rope that looks similar to the strand worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the movie Sex in the City.

This strand is 35" long, composed of 8-9 mm AAA-quality freshwater pearls with a 14 kt gold clasp. The promotional price is $495.00 which will be in effect until the end of July or until the inventory is gone. There is also another 35" strand listed on the site in freshwater 7-8 mm pearls.

There are no akoya 36" strands listed on the site but we can create a custom length for you. As an example of pricing on an akoya pearl rope: 36" length, white akoya pearls, 6.5-7.0mm, AA+ quality, the price would be $530.00. We can do this with any size or quality of akoya pearl in our inventory.

If you are looking for something specific in size or in pearl type and can let me know those details, I would be happy to give you a price and time estimate. We often will create custom pieces for our customers so it should not be any problem. Since the piece would be custom made to your specifications, you are not limited to the standard lengths or the standard clasps. If you prefer a strand at 37" or 41" for example, we can do that too. We have made strands as long as 100" inches in the past.
