Pearl Princess jewellery set, silver

Description

The Pearl Princess Jewellery Set, silver, is three moon-inspired pieces that together form a coherent, luminous whole. The set includes super long dangle earrings, a 2-in-1 hand chain and necklace, and a body harness. Every piece is adorned with crescents of natural mother-of-pearl. The silver colour of 316L stainless steel gives them a cool, night-time glow.

It is a jewellery set for women who want to look like a moon goddess from head to toe. The earrings adorn the face, the hand chain the hand, and the body harness the neckline and waist. Together they lead the eye across the whole silhouette, from the ears down to the hips. The effect is delicate, romantic and truly stunning.

I make the whole set by hand in the Ametyst Studio workshop. I select the crescents so that all three pieces have a similar shade and sheen. I personally check every piece before shipping. When you buy the set, you pay less than for the three pieces bought separately.

This festival jewellery set is also perfect for a wedding, a reception, a photo shoot and the beach. Above all, it is jewellery in which you will feel special. Simply put on one set and your look is complete and considered.

Symbolism

The Moon has always been the patron of women, their intuition and life cycles. The crescent stands for a new beginning, hope and growth. Mother-of-pearl, milky and iridescent, resembles moonlight on water. The Pearl Princess set combines these meanings in three pieces that wrap the whole body.

The parure – a set fit for a queen

Matching jewellery sets have a long and royal history. At European courts they were called parures, from the French word "parure", meaning "adornment" or "attire". A parure usually consisted of a diadem, a necklace, earrings, bracelets and a brooch. All pieces were united by the same stone and the same motif.

Parures became especially popular in the early 19th century at Napoleon's court. Empresses Joséphine and Marie-Louise received sets with pearls, diamonds and emeralds. A parure was a sign of status and elegance. The Pearl Princess set is a modern, festival version of this royal tradition.

Three phases, three pieces

In many old beliefs the Moon had three faces: waxing, full and waning. They were associated with three stages of a woman's life: the maiden, the mother and the wise elder. You can treat the three pieces of the set as a symbol of these three phases. Together they remind you that each of them has its own beauty.

Today this motif is often called the symbol of the Triple Goddess. It is shown as a full moon flanked by two crescents. It is a sign of feminine power, transformation and the continuity of life. The crescent set beautifully refers to this symbolism.

Mother-of-pearl and silver

In Poland mother-of-pearl was once called "macica perłowa", meaning the mother of the pearl. For centuries it has symbolised femininity, care and purity. In alchemy, silver was the metal of the Moon, marked with the sign of a crescent. The silver set with mother-of-pearl is therefore lunar in every detail.

Mother-of-pearl also fascinated Art Nouveau artists at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Jewellers of the time loved combining it with enamel, silver and motifs from nature. They valued its delicate sheen, which changes with the light. Thanks to this, the jewellery seemed alive.

Napierśnik and nadłonnik – original Ametyst Studio names

The Polish names "napierśnik" (body harness) and "nadłonnik" (hand chain) for body jewellery are my own ideas. They were formed on the model of the word "naszyjnik", meaning necklace. A "naszyjnik" is worn on the neck, a "napierśnik" on the chest and a "nadłonnik" on the hand. At Ametyst Studio you will also find "nanoski" (face chains), "nagłowniki" (head pieces) and "naoczniki" (face masks).

Properties

Mother-of-pearl and the crescent symbol are credited with many subtle properties. According to tradition, a mother-of-pearl jewellery set:

• strengthens feminine intuition and sensitivity;
• brings calm and soothes emotions;
• supports gentleness towards yourself and others;
• symbolises purity, love and new beginnings;
• helps you connect with the natural rhythm of your body;
• adds grace, lightness and self-confidence;
• attracts harmony in relationships and marriage;
• protects against the evil eye, like the moon amulets of old.

Worn together, the set surrounds you with moonlight from head to waist. When putting it on, you can say an intention, for example: "I am full of light and calm." Each piece will remind you of it in a different place on your body.

Three pieces, many possibilities

The set does not have to be worn all at once. You can wear each piece on its own or combine them in pairs. The earrings suit work, the hand chain a dinner, and the body harness a festival. One purchase thus gives you many different looks for every occasion.

When to choose this set?

The Pearl Princess set is perfect for many special moments. It is worth choosing when:

• you are looking for wedding jewellery in a boho, outdoor or beach style;
• you need jewellery for a wedding reception that will delight the guests;
• you are choosing festival jewellery with a bright, romantic vibe;
• you are planning a photo shoot, a wedding shoot or an outdoor session;
• you want a coherent look without spending ages choosing accessories;
• you love moon jewellery and the symbolism of the night;
• you love silver-tone body jewellery with light-coloured stones;
• you are looking for a unique gift for a bride or a friend.

Wedding jewellery

Boho brides increasingly give up classic pearls. They choose jewellery that is delicate, but also original and full of meaning. The Pearl Princess set goes beautifully with a white, ivory or champagne gown. It will be especially stunning with backless gowns, lace and deep necklines.

According to English tradition, a bride should have something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. The set can be your "something new" that will become a family heirloom over time. The crescent symbolises a new beginning, and mother-of-pearl love and faithfulness. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful meaning for a wedding day.

The set is also a beautiful gift for a bride from her mum, sister or friend. It can be given at the hen party or on the morning of the wedding. Such jewellery will remind her of the most important day for many years.

Jewellery for a wedding reception

At a wedding reception, what counts is sparkle, but also comfort during an all-night party. All the pieces of the set are light and stay securely on the body. The earrings have silicone stoppers, and the body harness fastens around the waist. So you can dance until morning without worrying about your jewellery.

The set also suits wedding guests' dresses in navy, lavender, sage, silver or black. The maid of honour and bridesmaids can wear selected pieces, such as just the earrings and the hand chain. This creates a beautiful, coherent look for the whole group.

Festival jewellery set

A festival is a time of freedom, dancing and bold outfits. The mother-of-pearl festival jewellery set brings a touch of moon magic to them. The body harness catches the stage lights, and the long earrings sway to the rhythm of the music. The hand chain shimmers on your hand and looks beautiful with raised arms.

For festival outfits, pair the set with a white bralette, a lace skirt and silver boots. You can also choose a flowing maxi dress and a denim jacket. Add silver glitter or little pearls stuck by your eyes. This creates a look worthy of a moon princess.

Good festival jewellery must be light, secure and comfortable. All the pieces of the set meet these conditions. The body harness fastens at the waist, the hand chain around the wrist, and the earrings have safety stoppers. This lets you focus on the music, not on your jewellery.

Jewellery for photo shoots and the beach

In photos, the set accentuates the line of the neck, neckline and hands. Mother-of-pearl beautifully reflects natural light during the golden hour. The set is perfect for a wedding, boudoir, outdoor or beach shoot. On the beach, the body harness and hand chain will turn an ordinary swimsuit into a special outfit.

Best for the zodiac signs

Any woman can wear the moon set. A few zodiac signs, however, will feel its energy especially strongly.

Cancer is the only sign ruled by the Moon. Cancers are tender, caring and intuitive. The crescent set is almost a personal talisman for them.

Pisces live in a world of dreams and imagination. Mother-of-pearl from sea shells reminds them of their watery nature. The set helps Pisces stay calm and gentle.

Gemini have the pearl as the June birthstone. They love change, so they will appreciate being able to wear the pieces in many ways. The set lets them create a different look every day.

Libra loves harmony, symmetry and beauty. A coherent, considered set perfectly matches her aesthetic. Mother-of-pearl is meant to help Libras keep their inner balance.

Virgo values pure form and subtle elegance. Silver and white are colours that perfectly reflect her character. For her, the set is like an outfit polished to the last detail.

Aesthetic qualities

The Pearl Princess set enchants with lightness and coherence. All the pieces are adorned with the same mother-of-pearl crescents and the same silver-tone chains. That is why they look as if they were designed for one special occasion. White and silver together create a cool, luminous harmony.

Mother-of-pearl has a natural, iridescent sheen. In daylight it looks milky, and in the evening it shimmers with a delicate rainbow. As it is a material of organic origin, the crescents may differ slightly in colour. Some are snow white, others shade towards cream, flesh tones or brown.

Shoulder-grazing dangle earrings

The super long earrings are dangle earrings with a crescent and two 11.5 cm chains. When the head moves, they gently brush the shoulders of many women. The long chains elongate the neck and look beautiful with an updo. The shoulder-grazing earrings pair perfectly with the body harness, as together they draw a vertical line through the silhouette.

The 2-in-1 hand chain and necklace

The "nadłonnik" is a hand chain, a bracelet for the hand connected to a ring. The mother-of-pearl crescents adorn the back of the hand and accentuate every gesture. You can also wear the same piece as a delicate necklace with crescents. This gives the set even more possibilities.

The body harness – a body chain with crescents

The body harness is a body chain that wraps the neck, neckline and waist. The neck is adorned with a choker of crescents, from which a vertical strip of more crescents runs downwards. Lower down, a chain wraps around the waist and accentuates the feminine figure. It is the most spectacular piece of the set.

All three pieces together form a vertical line that slims the silhouette. The earrings lead the eye along the neck, the body harness along the breastbone, and the hand chain adds an accent on the hand. The set suits every figure and every height. It looks best on bare skin or over smooth, thin fabrics.

Best paired with

The set is a complete ensemble, so it does not need many extras. If you want to add something for your head, choose a delicate silver-tone diadem or headband. A thin ring for the other hand also goes well with the set. Avoid large necklaces, though, as the body harness is a bold piece on its own.

Prefer warm tones? Pieces from the Pearl Princess collection are also available in gold. You can then choose the gold earrings, the gold hand chain or the gold body harness.

In terms of clothing, the set loves white, cream, grey, light blue and lavender. It looks most beautiful with bare shoulders, an open back and a deep neckline. For a wedding, choose a gown of lace, tulle or silk. For a festival, go for a bralette, lace, denim and flowing fabrics.

Luminous, natural make-up suits the set. Choose a pearly highlighter, silver or grey eyeshadow and pink lips. A touch of highlighter on the collarbones will beautifully accentuate the body harness. Such make-up will bring out the moonlit character of the whole look.

Hairstyles that reveal the neck and shoulders suit the set best. Choose a loose bun, a low chignon, a braid or waves swept to one side. With short hair, the earrings will be fully visible. For a wedding, you can add fresh flowers or tiny pearls to your hair.

How to care for it?

316L stainless steel is durable, but mother-of-pearl needs a little gentleness. A few simple rules will let you enjoy the set for years:

• put the jewellery on only after lotion, perfume and hairspray;
• take it off before bathing, swimming, the sauna, exercising and sleeping;
• protect the mother-of-pearl from water, sweat and acidic substances;
• make sure the chains do not catch on a veil, lace or hair;
• after wearing, wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth;
• store each piece separately so the chains do not tangle;
• do not use cleaning agents, toothpaste or ultrasonic cleaners;
• protect the crescents from knocks against hard surfaces.

The silicone safety stoppers for the earrings are small and easy to lose. Keep them together with the set in a pouch or jewellery box. You can replace a worn stopper with a new one at any time.

The set is best stored in a flat jewellery box with compartments. It is worth laying the body harness flat so the chains do not knot. You can keep the hand chain and earrings in separate pouches. This way all the pieces will always be ready to wear.

Material

• natural mother-of-pearl crescents;
• silver-coloured 316L stainless steel;
• earrings with an open French hook fastening and silicone safety stoppers;
• all pieces made entirely by hand in the Ametyst Studio workshop.

What does the set include?

• Pearl Princess Super Long Earrings with mother-of-pearl crescent moons, silver;
• Pearl Princess 2-in-1 Hand Chain and Necklace, silver;
• Pearl Princess Body Harness with mother-of-pearl crescent moons, silver.

You can also buy each of these pieces separately. The set, however, lets you get all three at a better price. It is the best choice for a bride and for anyone who wants a complete moon-inspired look right away.

Mother-of-pearl – a natural material

Mother-of-pearl consists of thin layers of calcium carbonate interleaved with natural protein. Light reflects off these layers and creates a rainbow sheen called iridescence. Because every shell is different, mother-of-pearl can vary in colour and pattern. This makes every set one of a kind.

Handmade at Ametyst Studio

I make every piece of the set by hand, step by step. I carefully select the crescents so that they have a similar shade throughout the set. I join them with the chains and check how each piece sits on the body. Only then does the set set off on its way to you.

Why 316L stainless steel?

316L is surgical steel, valued for its resistance to corrosion and moisture. It does not tarnish like ordinary silver and needs no polishing. It keeps its cool, silver shine even after long wear. It is undoubtedly a practical choice for body jewellery.

Who is this set for?

The Pearl Princess Jewellery Set, silver, is for women who are romantic, intuitive and love moon symbolism. It will appeal to brides, bridesmaids and wedding guests.

It is jewellery for a wedding, a reception, a festival, a photo shoot and the beach in one set. Three pieces, one coherent story and plenty of moonlight. It will surely become one of your most treasured possessions.
