The background…

This necklace features a beautiful pendant that I created from a Mother-of-Pearl handle that I recently acquired at an antique shop in the UK. I believe that it probably came from part of a manicure or dressing table set. I’ve suspended the finished pendant from a vintage French scrolled connector. I made the chain from beautiful twisted glass beads in caramel tones repurposed from a mid-century triple-stranded necklace, combined with a textured Sarah Coventry rope chain. Finished with a vintage spring clasp, this versatile piece can be worn as a sautoir or as a double-stranded choker.

An organic gemstone, Mother of Pearl is said to bring the gentle healing power of the sea to relieve stress; soothe and calm the emotions.

The detail…

  • sustainably and ethically made in Melbourne
  • made with vintage and repurposed materials which may show signs of their age in a deepened patina and minor wear
  • the total length around the neck edge is 90.5 cm
  • the pendant measures 7 cm in length
