Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
This lustrous five-strand necklace in an incredibly versatile black and white palette is made of multiple strands of hand-knotted silk with iridescent mother-of-pearl discs. The iridescent shell is colored using natural dyes to give depth to the hues, each of which is unique and may retain some of its natural texture. In black, white, and gray mother of pearl, it can coordinate with a range of neutrals and natural colors.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
