Add-A-Pearl Necklaces for Christmas Gifts

Gift giving doesn’t always come naturally for everyone, but an Add-A-Pearl necklace is a wonderful gift for a little girl of any age and provides a way to help with gift-giving throughout an entire childhood. If you are looking for a special gift this Christmas, consider an Add-A-Pearl necklace from Gary J. Long Jewelers.

About Add-A-Pearl

The basic Add-A-Pearl necklace consists of three pearls on a gold or silver chain. Over time, perhaps to mark birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions, further pearls are added until a complete pearl necklace is formed. Gifting a pearl becomes a meaningful gift for friends and family who are stumped when shopping for presents, especially during those hard-to-shop-for teen years.

An Add-A-Pearl necklace is beautiful whether it has 3 or 13 pearls and can be started at any age. When starting the necklace, it is important to find a local jeweler to make your purchase. The staff at Gary J. Long Jewelers will help you select the materials to begin and make future gift giving stress-free and easy. When a friend or family member wants to give a pearl and contribute to the necklace, simply let them know where to go so that the size and type of pearl required is consistent.

Why Add-A-Pearl

There are many benefits to an Add-A-Pearl necklace. First and foremost, it is an investment. A good quality pearl necklace can be out of reach for many, but building a necklace over time by purchasing a pearl per occasion spreads the cost over a number of years. Gifting a starter necklace to a young child means that by the time the necklace is completed and they have grown up, they will have a valuable heirloom piece of jewelry to be treasured.

Second, there is a timeless elegance to pearls. Contrary to charms that may date over time, a pearl necklace transcends fashion trends and is always beautiful and classic. Further, other items of jewelry such as a bracelet or earrings can also be created to match and complement the necklace.

Finally, pearls are classic and readily available. Although it is best to stick to your local jeweler to purchase additional pearls, graded pearls can be purchased elsewhere and given as a gift as long as the size and type is consistent with the existing necklace. If a pearl is purchased elsewhere, Gary J. Long Jewelers is happy to string and add it for you.


Purchasing an Add-A-Pearl necklace pearl by pearl is a wonderful and thoughtful gift. It is also the perfect way to create a valuable heirloom piece of jewelry without a significant upfront investment. Gary J. Long Jewelers can help you get started with your initial gift and make gift-giving simple and seamless for years to come.
