Abalone & Nugget Pearl Choker

$200.00

Japanese pearls and abalone shell, strung by hand in Byron Bay. The iridescence shifts with the light — worn simply, it says everything without trying.

Abalone shell, mother of pearl, pearl, sterling silver — handmade in Byron Bay, Australia

The pearls are Japanese — small, off-white, with the particular lustre that comes only from saltwater and time. The abalone pendant that anchors them is a single piece, selected for its colour, a shifting field of blue-green-bronze that has no fixed mood. Handmade by Tsuchidesigns in Byron Bay, the choker fastens with a sterling silver clasp, sits close to the collarbone, and requires nothing more from you than to wear it. It is the kind of jewellery that does not demand attention, but receives it anyway — the way beautiful things often do when they carry no pretension. Each piece is unique. The abalone is never quite the same twice.

Wear it over linen, against the skin, on a day when you want to move slowly. It pairs well with the act of doing very little, very deliberately.
