Some jewelry carries a story. This creamy ivory necklace was worn by its original owner to her Las Vegas wedding — the beginning of a 31-year marriage.

A striking mid-1980s parure featuring graduated polished mother-of-pearl beads with larger conch shell beads cut from the center of the shell, showcasing their signature pink and cream spiral pattern. Gold-tone spacers lead to a large, luminous oval mother-of-pearl pendant with gorgeous natural iridescence. Matching drop earrings feature shepherd's hook gold-tone findings with conch shell drops.

Details:

  • Necklace length: 22 inches
  • Era: Mid-1980s
  • Materials: Polished mother-of-pearl beads, conch shell beads, mother-of-pearl pendant, gold-tone findings
  • No maker's marks or stamps

Condition: The mother-of-pearl pendant is fragile with a hairline crack stabilized with shellac on the reverse — displays beautifully from the front. Handle with care; best displayed or worn on special occasions rather than daily use. Earrings in excellent condition. Please note the earring drops are slightly different lengths, a natural result of the individual conch shell pieces they were cut from — a charming characteristic of handcrafted shell jewelry.
