There is something about the magic of pearls. Perlescence is singular in the world of gems; pearls don’t have a refractive index, or clarity grading. As an organic matter they only their luster and long labored shape to recommend them as adornments, but nothing could be better, per the recommendation millenia of collectors. Any royal treasury overflows with good pearls— and every girl needs a good double strand (or 5!)
Enter, the Eloise. Eloise, Eloise, Eloise! Based on a victorian pearl necklace I acquired in Paris last year, I designed the Eloise to do it all for you. With nine beautiful, large scale 9mm oval Japanese cultured pearls, and hundreds of smaller seed pearls connecting these orbs like an astrological constellation, the strand will fit every wardrobe, and effortlessly integrate into your jewelry box. With a double pearl screw top clasp, you can adjust the strand to accommodate your favorite pendant, double wrap if you'd like, or connect to brooches and other beautiful chains in a myriad of component presentation. She is at home across the décolletage of an English noble-woman, as she is swung round the neck of a roguish rockstar, or strung into the braids of a nymph, eager to frolic. I love the Eloise, she may be the most special jewel I’ve yet created.
