Brass & Copper Necklaces · Brass & Copper · MOQ 30 pcs
A fine brass chain set with freshwater pearls, then plated. The pearls do the work the plating cannot — they hold the piece above a plain chain on the price list — but pearl matching is what controls how even the run looks.
Overview
Pearls are the cheapest way to lift a brass piece above its metal cost. The chain is modest, but a line of freshwater pearls changes what the customer is buying — it reads as a considered piece rather than a basic, and it sits in a different part of the shelf. That is the commercial case for the design, and it holds at almost any price point the chain supports.
The honest part is variation. Freshwater pearls differ in size, lustre and shape, and a necklace is only as good as the worst pearl on it. So matching is a real bench operation: the pearls are graded and laid out before they are set, and we quote that matching as its own line so you can decide how tight a tolerance the price point allows rather than receiving a batch and hoping.

Variants
Pearls at regular intervals along the front; the cleanest and easiest to repeat.
A small group of pearls at the centre, with a plain chain either side.
Pearls along the whole visible length, for a more traditional look and a higher price.
Graduated pearls, smallest at the ends; a classic read that suits older buyers.
Best for
Pearls read as a gift in a way a plain gold-look chain does not.
Sold alongside a simple dress as an affordable secondary piece.
The same chain body sold at a pearl price without a redesign.
Sizing
Pearl necklaces are usually worn shorter than a bare chain, because the pearls carry the eye. Set the length to where the pearls sit, not where the clasp falls, and confirm it on the sample before the run.
| Dimension | Guidance |
|---|---|
| 40–42 cm | Classic pearl-necklace length; the pearls sit at the base of the neck |
| 45 cm | A looser collar; layers well under a longer chain |
| Pearl size | 3–4 mm delicate, 5–6 mm standard, 7 mm a statement read |
| Chain | Keep the chain fine; a heavy link fights the pearls |

FAQ

A fine brass chain in a small, even link, plated in gold, rose gold or rhodium. It is the chain you build a pendant range on and the one customers layer with, because a fine link sits flat and does not fight the piece above it. The plating, not the links, is what sets how long the colour survives skin and sweat.
A cast brass drop earring with a hand-set crystal, plated in gold, rose gold or rhodium on stainless steel posts. The casting holds a fine setting edge, so the stone sits cleanly, and the crystal colour is matched batch to batch — which is what keeps a reordered run looking like the first one rather than an approximation of it.
Single-stone pavé pendant in 925 silver on a fine chain. Halo setting specified on the drawing; stone size and colour are yours to choose.
