MODERN GIRL PEARLS a spikey, pointy, non traditional, cultured pearl bracelet

Description

This is a gorgeous bracelet, made from luminous cultured freshwater pearls. The pearls have a great shape. They are all tapered or rather pointed at the ends, so they look fantastic on this bracelet. I have a necklace that isn't listed yet with the same pearls. It's equally sensational.

The color of the pearls is a luminous ivory or off-white. They are capped by gorgeous sterling silver bead cones with leaves patterned on them.

I've made the bracelet adjustable to fit a range of wrist sizes. The clasp is composed of a sterling lobster clasp and heavy gauge, beautiful textured sterling silver chain with an ivory coin pearl charm at the end on a bali headpin.

Thanks for your interest, and thanks for supporting artisan craftspeople! It makes a world of difference!

About the components of this piece:

SILVER: All metal components in my pieces are either fine or sterling silver, and I incorporate many, many Bali sterling beads into my work, as I appreciate the great attention to detail and the handmade beauty of these beads.

About BALI SILVER BEADS: Bali is a small island located in southeast Asia. Bali, Indonesia is known around the world for its silver jewelry made by master metal smiths. Each and every bead is made by hand by craftsmen exceptionally skilled in the trade. The attention to detail is apparent when you look at these beads close up. I have become addicted to Bali silver.

CULTURED PEARLS: Pearls are created when small particles inadvertently or purposely become embedded in the tissue of an oyster or clam. In response, the animal secretes nacre. Nacre is a combination of crystalline and organic substances. As the nacre builds up, it surrounds the trapped matter and eventually forms a pearl.

Natural pearls are those formed in nature by chance. In contrast, cultured pearls are created when people implant an object in a mollusk or oyster, thereby inducing the creation of a pearl. The same natural process of pearl creation takes place. Only in the case of cultured pearls, humans lent a helping hand.
