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 14k gold with oxidized silver, the necklace is gritty yet organically refined.
Mother of pearl beads with hand-carved barnacles. Oxidized silver chain and bail with 14k solid yellow gold barnacles with 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.
