Queen Mother-of-Pearl Necklace

Queen Mother-of-Pearl — the name alone suggests something regal, something luminous, something that commands attention at a frequency below a shout. The mother-of-pearl in this necklace displays the full spectrum of its iridescence: pink, green, blue, pale gold, shifting as the pendant moves, the way a queen's gown shifts colors as she moves through a room. Set in sterling silver, it is a piece about luminous authority — the kind of presence that does not need to announce itself.

• Genuine mother-of-pearl — full-spectrum iridescence
• Queen-worthy sterling silver setting — substantial, regal
• Sterling silver chain and clasp
• Pendant approximately 18-25mm
• Nickel-free and hypoallergenic

Mother-of-pearl is nacre — the same material that forms pearls, but laid down in flat sheets against the inside of a mollusk's shell rather than built up in concentric spheres around an irritant. It has been used in jewelry and decorative arts for thousands of years, prized for its iridescence and its luminous depth. This necklace honors that history with a design that treats the material like the royalty it is.
