A Special Contribution by Kaori Nakano, Fashion Historian

The Revolutionary Aspect of "WISE GRACE"

By making the clasp the "star," the expression of pearls can be transformed, and they can be connected in multiple strands. This is the pearl clasp. "WISE GRACE," created by Pearl Spencer, makes necklaces sparkle with life.

A Collaboration Between Necklace and Clasp

Most women likely own at least one pearl necklace. However, many may only wear it for formal occasions like weddings and funerals. For instance, during maintenance such as restringing, consider having it refitted with a clasp that becomes the focal point. This can significantly increase the occasions on which your pearl necklace can be worn.

Naturally, it can still be used for formal events as before. However, by bringing the clasp to the front, you can enjoy a completely different look, as if the pearl strand is a "chain" and the clasp is the main feature. By concealing the clasp during the day and revealing it at night, it becomes an accessory that can express a woman's duality.

By changing the clasp to suit the occasion, the same single pearl necklace can be adapted as an accessory for both casual and edgy settings. Furthermore, by linking two or three necklaces, it can be transformed into a long necklace. The possibilities are endless.

It's a triumph of reverse thinking, daring to make the clasp, something that would normally be hidden, the star of the show.— Kaori Nakano

We also received comments from Mr. Kikuo Shinoda, President of Pearl Spencer, the manufacturer.

Everyone unconsciously assumes that a necklace and its clasp are inseparable. However, with WISE GRACE, the necklace clasp can be easily detached and replaced to match the day's event, mood, or outfit. Moreover, the mechanism of the WISE GRACE clasp is completely invisible from the outside. It can seamlessly integrate necklaces, create accents, or even serve as a primary piece of jewelry, making its function of fastening a necklace almost secondary.

With WISE GRACE, the clasp can be positioned not only at the back of the neck but also at the front or side without looking unnatural. There will be no instances of the clasp being flipped, or accidentally moving to the front, causing embarrassment.

Furthermore, by connecting two or three necklaces, a long necklace is created that looks like an original piece. As the number of WISE GRACE sets increases, the variations of clasps and necklaces, and necklaces and necklaces, become infinite.
