Baroque Pearl & Crescent Choker

$1895.00

Iridescent baroque pearls, earthy stone beads and a polished mother-of-pearl shell crescent moon — glass, agate, seashell and clay from the ancient Roman dynasty.

Ancient stone, glass, agate, seashell and clay beads; Mother-of-pearl shell crescent moon; Gold filled clasp and spacers

Originating from the ancient Roman dynasty, this strand comprises glass, agate, seashell and clay — materials gathered and traded across the breadth of the empire, carried along routes that stretched from the Mediterranean to the far reaches of the known world. The beads bear the patina of centuries: pitted surfaces, irregular facets and muted tones that mark the slow passage of time. Each piece is a fragment of an ancient craft, shaped by hands that worked long before our own.

Pair with a dark, high-collared garment to let the pearls catch the light.
