The Host Necklace is a strand of chunky, irregular freshwater pearls — flat and oil-slick, baroque kind and half-melted — spaced out with little stones and finished with a tiny sterling silver bean off the clasp. It comes from Gohar World, the deadpan tableware label run by sisters Laila and Nadia Gohar, where the dish gloves have lace cuffs and the utensils are carved from mother-of-pearl.

Most pearls are for the guest — dressed up, arriving. These are for the person who set the table. Gohar builds everything around hosting: the cooking, the flowers, the show of feeding people. The necklace brings it all together, which, at a good inner party, is where everything needs to be.

Or, if you’re more of an earring person, the Host Earrings carry the same baroque pearls.
