Dichotomy Pearls

Dichotomy Pearls

A fresh take on a timeless classic, this sculptural necklace pairs white porcelain and black stoneware in a striking play of contrast. Each ceramic charm is individually shaped, polished, and rolled in the nook of a palm, creating soft, organic forms that echo the elegance of traditional pearls.

Understated yet distinctive, this is an elegant statement piece that brings a little edge to a forever-classic silhouette.

Precious Metals: Our findings are sterling silver and 14k gold. If notice a tarnish, polish with a soft jewelry cloth. For a deep clean, use vinegar and baking soda.
