The World is Your Oyster

Wear your mother-of-pearl necklace long, or for a 2-tiered style...

Fine-tune the look by clasping to different rings behind your neck.

Oval-shaped mother of pearl shells, antique brass rings. Measures approx. 42 inches when worn long as a single strand.

These look straight out of the most fashionable mermaid's jewelry box. Classic and elegant, these freshwater pearl stud earrings are the perfect addition to any jewelry collection and chic style.

The pearl jewelry was so popular earlier this spring that I decided to create a few sets of these classic earrings in a brand new color: bronze.

The earrings measure about 3/4 inch from the top of the curve of the ear wire to the bottom of the pearl. They are pretty small and delicate and smaller than most of the earrings I typically make. Each pearl itself is about 1/4 inch high. I only had enough of this color freshwater pearl to make a few of these so if you love them, grab them while they're available.

I also made a few matching pearl necklaces, see them here.

I also made a few matching pearl earrings, see them here.

I live and work in the Wilmington, North Carolina area with my husband and our two creative, ocean loving children.
