The body is left entirely smooth so the collar does all the work - and because the pearls stand proud of the metal, the charm has real depth to it at 9.5mm front to back, on a 12mm by 20mm frame weighing 3.9g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCream pearl against cool silver is the classic pairing of the two - think of a strand of pearls with a white-gold clasp. The silver keeps everything crisp and lets the warmth sit entirely in the pearls, which is a cleaner effect than the gold version and reads slightly more formal. Where a crystal-set charm throws sharp points of light, this one gives back a soft low sheen, so in a stack it provides the pause that makes the sparkling pieces beside it read properly.

Are the pearls real?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - they are imitation pearls, and we would rather say so plainly. They give the same soft lustre against silver that makes the design work, at a price that keeps the charm wearable every day. They still need pearl-level care, which is the part worth knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Is this steel or sterling silver?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStainless steel with a silver tone, not sterling. That is deliberate: sterling tarnishes and needs polishing, and polishing cloths are exactly what you must keep away from pearls. Steel holds its colour with no maintenance, which suits a piece you cannot safely clean aggressively.

It reacts slightly to a magnet - is that a problem?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Cast stainless steel normally contains a small amount of ferrite, deliberately, because it stops the metal cracking as it solidifies - that is what a magnet finds. Copper and brass are entirely non-magnetic, so a magnetic response actually rules them out.

How do I care for the pearl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe steel body is tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic, but the pearl collar is the delicate part of this piece. Keep it away from perfume, hairspray, hand sanitiser and cleaning solutions, all of which dull a pearl surface permanently, and never put it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Put the charm on last when dressing, and wipe only with a soft dry cloth.
