Hannah Blount | Necklace | Mother of Pearl | Sterling Barnacles
$280.00
An elongated mother of pearl pendant is whimsical, iridescent and adorned with a tide pool's worth of barnacles – exhibiting the soft side of the ocean's beauty. The shimmering luster of the handmade necklace is defined by celestial striations. In bright silver, this piece is airy and elegant.
Mother of pearl beads with bright solid sterling silver hand-carved barnacles, chain, and bail. The barnacles have a matte finish.
Mother of pearl is the iridescent nacre that lines the inner shell of certain mollusks, in this case the Pinctada maxima pearl oyster. Like all pearls, those from Pinctada maxima form when an irritant becomes trapped within the mollusk, prompting it to secrete layers of nacre that gradually build a pearl. This same nacre coats the interior of the shell, giving mother of pearl its luminous, layered beauty. Before the advent of plastics, it was widely used for buttons; today, it remains beloved in fine jewelry for its soft iridescence, ranging from silvery gray to luminous white.
