A mask hanger or chain has become a must-have. It keeps your mask handy while it's off your face, and keeps it out of your hands, pockets and bags. With Daily Pearls, this practical item get a little prettier.
The mask attaches to the hanger with large lobster clasps, which fit a variety of mask elastics. They are easy to use, and make changing your mask quick. We feel like the Sterling Silver Lobster Clasps are always the best option, but if you are buying for someone who doesn't want silver, you can select Gold Plated Clasps when you check out.
The holder is 25 inches long, which works for almost adults. If you would like a different length, please make a note in your order.
Shown in the main image is warm silver metallic leather and white pearls, which is one of the most popular options. Metallic grey leather with either white or grey pearls is also very popular.
When you place your order, you'll need to select the leather and pearls you would like.
$5 from each mask hanger will be donated to the Avenue Road Food Bank, Toronto, Ontario.

To keep your pearls looking their best, they should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Avoid getting perfume, hairspray, lotion, or any other chemical on them, and wipe them off right away if you do. Keep them out of water, where hair products, chlorine, or salt water could dull or discolour them. Water can also weaken the bond between the pearl and the post.
As popular as pearls are, the range of varieties and prices can get confusing. Here's what you need to know:
1) Almost every real pearl on today's market, regardless of variety, is “cultured.” A cultured pearl is grown in an ocean or a lake, and develops around a nucleus or irritant which is placed in an oyster or mollusk. The final product is created by nature, albeit with man’s help.
2) “Natural” pearls are pearls that have been found in oysters. Natural pearls found today sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Many natural pearls on the market are in antique pieces, and come with gemological x-ray certification.
3) The highest-priced cultured pearls are cultured in seawater, and there are three main varieties: Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea. Akoya pearls, grown off the coast of Japan, were the first saltwater pearls to be cultured, and became the "classic" pearls your grandmother might have worn. Tahitian pearls, which are grown around Tahiti, grow naturally in shades of grey and black, and were developed in the 1970s. South Sea pearls, grown in the Southern Hemisphere, were developed more recently, and are considered by many to be the most desirable pearls.
4) Daily Pearls makes jewellery from cultured freshwater pearls, which are the most affordable variety of cultured pearls. China produces most of the world's freshwater pearls, many of which are unusually shaped, or "baroque."
5) Plastic or glass imitations of cultured pearls are called “simulated” pearls. You can tell the difference between cultured and simulated pearls by touching one to the top of your bottom teeth. If it feels gritty, the pearl is real. If it feels like plastic or glass, it is not a cultured pearl.
