Origin

Pearl Necklace is a slang term for a sexual act in which a man ejaculates semen on or near the neck or chest of another person. The term comes from the semen's resemblance to a necklace of translucent white pearls. Though the expression predates the Internet, memes about the sexual act have been shared since 2015 and most recently (2021-2023) people on TikTok have been using the slang for Don't Google content, sharing their astonishment when they realize what pearl necklace mean.
