Galene is a gentle Nereid goddess of the calm seas. In mythology, she was the personification of tranquillity, the serene face of the ocean on a perfect, windless day. Her presence was a blessing of smooth, glassy waters.

This elegant necklace captures her quiet grace. Each pearl is a genuine freshwater pearl, hand-selected for its soft, natural form and radiant white lustre. Noticeably graduated, the pearls subtly transition from delicate sizes near the nape to larger, more prominent pearls at the center. Their organic, irregular shapes are a whisper of the sea itself—like precious seafoam gathered on the shore or the smooth, sun-bleached pebbles of a tranquil cove. This single strand drapes beautifully, embodying the quiet, singular beauty of the Mediterranean.

Artistry Forged by the Sea Handmade by the sea in our Cyprus studio, each pearl is strung on thread with meticulous care and intention. The design is timeless, destined to become a modern heirloom that transcends fleeting trends.

The necklace is finished with a sleek, gold-plated magnetic clasp, blending delicate design with effortless function. It secures with a satisfying click, giving you a seamless, secure fit in seconds.

Due to the organic nature of our materials, this is a one-of-a-kind piece. Please expect slight variations in pearl and gemstone size, shape, and colour.

How to Care for Your Pearls

Your pearls are precious, organic gems born from the sea. Unlike harder stones, they are soft and porous, requiring gentle care to protect their beautiful lustre for generations.

The Golden Rule: Last On, First Off
Pearls should be the last thing you put on after applying all cosmetics, perfumes, lotions, or hairspray. They should also be the first thing you take off at the end of the day. The chemicals in beauty products can be harmful to their nacre (their iridescent outer layer).

After Each Wear
After you take them off, gently wipe your pearls with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. This simple step removes any traces of body oils or chemicals that can settle on their surface and dull their shine.

Safe Storage
Pearls need to "breathe" but should also be protected from scratches.

Do: Store them separately in a fabric-lined pouch or a soft-cloth-lined jewellery box.
Don't: Store them in an airtight plastic bag, as this can dry them out.
Don't: Store them jumbled with other jewellery. Hard gemstones (like diamonds) and metal clasps can easily scratch their delicate surface.

Avoid Water and Sweat
Never wear your pearl jewellery while showering, bathing, swimming, or in a sauna or steam room.

Water can weaken the silk thread on which necklaces and bracelets are strung.
Chlorine, salt, and even soap can damage the pearls themselves.
Sweat is acidic; always wipe your pearls clean after wearing them, especially if worn during warm weather or exercise.

Professional Re-stringing
If your necklace or bracelet is worn frequently, the silk thread will naturally stretch and weaken over time. To keep your heirloom secure, we recommend having your pearls professionally re-strung every few years, or as soon as you notice any gapping between the pearls.

With a little mindful care, your pearls will remain a timeless and radiant part of your collection.
