Frequently asked questions
What length is a Matinee pearl necklace?
Matinee length necklaces measure 20-24 inches and falls between the collarbone and bust — the elegant business or afternoon length.
What size Tahitian pearls work best for a Matinee necklace?
For Matinee length, 9-12mm pearls are typical for everyday elegance. 13mm and larger create dramatic statement pieces — particularly for business attire, afternoon events, elongating the neckline.
Are Tahitian pearls suitable for Matinee length necklaces?
Yes. Tahitian pearls from Pinctada margaritifera are well-suited to Matinee length, particularly because their peacock, aubergine, green, silver-blue stand out at this position on the body.
How do I care for a Tahitian pearl necklace?
Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wearing. Avoid perfumes, lotions, and chemicals — apply these before putting on the necklace, not after. Store flat in a soft pouch (not hung), and have the strand restrung professionally every 2-3 years for daily-wear pieces.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide with insured tracked delivery. Free shipping on orders over $150 USD. Each piece arrives with certificate of authenticity.

A Matinee-length necklace measures 20-24 inches and falls between the collarbone and bust — the elegant business or afternoon length. Matinee length is best for business attire, afternoon events, elongating the neckline. named for afternoon "matinee" performances when pearls of this length were the standard accessory. This collection presents Tahitian pearl necklaces in the Matinee length tier — pearls from Pinctada margaritifera, sourced from French Polynesia. Tahitian pearls show peacock, aubergine, green, silver-blue. The pieces here are hand-strung with knotted silk between pearls (the traditional method that prevents wear and keeps pearls separate if a strand breaks). Settings include 18K gold and 925 sterling silver clasps. For Matinee length specifically, we recommend pearl sizes that complement the drop — typically 9-12mm for a balanced look, larger sizes (13mm+) for statement effect. Each necklace ships with our certificate of authenticity, origin notation, and grading sheet.
