Jewelry Olga specializes in designing and making pearl jewelry. I would like to emphasize the word “designing”. We offer pearl jewelry where a design plays an important role. A good example may be a tin cup pearl necklace. We also call it station pearl necklace. It is one of interesting varieties of modern pearl jewelry.
Actually, this type of a necklace is relatively new. It was born in 1990s from a movie named “Tin Cup” . The movie starred Renee Russo and Kevin Costner. Throughout the movie, Renee Russo was wearing a pearl necklace. Eventually, the style of the necklace gave a specific name to a certain variety of a necklace. It even has inspired a line of jewelry! It became a trendsetter.
Technically speaking, a tin cup necklace is made of pearls or gems set at some intervals along a chain. Since 1990s, this type of pearl jewelry has become one of the favorites. It looks contemporary, on the one hand. Moreover, it is dressier than a pearl pendant necklace. And, of course, tin cup pearl necklace is much more interesting than just a chain.
Renee Russo and a tin cup pearl necklace
The tin cup pearl necklace worn by Renee Russo in the movie had a pretty simple design. Small white round pearls were set at different lengths throughout a silver chain. In those days, it was a fashion-forward look. Actually, today, we often see similar designs. However, nowadays, jewelry designers craft original modern tin-cup necklaces using various materials. Depending on the latter, we may get a feminine and delicate look with a floating effect. We create this effect using fine pearls and a dainty chain. On the contrary, a tin-cup necklace may look bold and eye-catching. In this case, we set big baroque pearls on a more massive chain.
Moreover, pearls should not be of the same size. Nor we use only similar looking pearls. We may choose different types of pearls. Or, we mix and match cultured freshwater pearls having various shapes, colors, and sizes. As well, the beauty of a tin cup necklace is that along with pearls, other materials might be used. For instance, gemstones or Swarovski maybe incorporated in the pattern. This will give a beautiful one-of-a kind piece of jewelry.
Pearl jewelry designers at Jewelry Olga enjoy playing with colors. We may simply use colored pearls. Or, we put together pearls and colored gemstones adding color or colors, mixing them. Actually, this is more exciting and challenging.
A tin cup pearl necklace is a wearable style. A short necklace has length of about 16 inch or 18 inch. Sliding around your neck, it always looks nice. Actually, every pearl choker necklace looks amazing. On the other hand, a longer tin-cup necklace, e.g. having 36 inch, is a more interesting solution. Because you may wear it in different ways. We may wear it not only as one long necklace but you may double it as well. Thus, you may have, at least, two pieces of jewelry in one! Fantastic contemporary jewelry for a modern woman with an active lifestyle.
In any event, if you are looking for unconventional and out-of-the-ordinary pearl jewelry, you might consider buying a tin cup pearl necklace.
