A New Take on Classic Pearls

by Calista Uriarte
(University Place, WA)

Etched blacklip shell with pearls and sterling chain

I love to update classics. Right now combining material is a fun way to do just that.

This necklace combines classic white pearls on silk thread with sterling chain and a lovely, elegant blacklip shell that has been delicately laser etched with another trend - the peacock feather.

The etching design is one that, through a relationship with one of my bead vendors - Beads and Pieces - I’d been commissioned to create.
