This necklace was made from the “special pearls.”
By that, I mean the ones that don’t quite fit the mold. That’s because with every shipment of natural gemstone pearls, you receive a strand approximately 40 cm long for each type of stone. The beads all look different. And some look “special.” They might have a completely different shade or a unique pattern. I don’t sort these beads out; instead, I save them until I have enough to create a piece of jewelry that’s one-of-a-kind.
Here, I’ve primarily used amazonite and various agate beads. Amazonite, for example, is typically turquoise in color. In this necklace, however, they are white/beige or yellowish.
