A Pearl of Great Price

Description

This necklace is a showstopper...and a bit of a private (hic!) joke.
It all started when I saw a poster at Coffee by Design, a call for erotic art, the edgier the better. For some reason I have a very hard time taking most erotic "art" seriously, it seems pretentious or pained, or both. At the time I was making Christmas tree ornaments, and I suddenly had a vision, and a thought: the vision was my Golden Christmas Tree, upended, and the thought was, "Fire Down Below", which got me giggling. One pun led to another, and a series was born...necklaces whose names will give you a secret smile, while dazzling friends and strangers alike with your bold style (sorry - when I wax poetic I'm prone to alliteration, puns and silly rhymes).

So here's the first! Beautiful white Biwa pearls in a tapering band of golden spirals framing a stunning cultured pearl drop. The centerpiece is 5" long from tip to tip, about 3" across, and 1" wide along the widest part. A pair of creamy white pearls accents 14karat gold-filled figure-8 chain, leading to an easy "S" clasp, about 17" long altogether. I can easily add a length of chain to make it adjustable if you like. This necklace looks especially stunning on a woman of color; my friend Mia said she'll model it for me one day soon. The matching earrings shown in the center photo are sold separately.
