Description
Pearls, despite their value, find each other through knots and string. Such a thin and fragile bond for an array of valuables. Past these pearls are intertwining links of silver, turning as they twist into the next. No mechanism to hold the necklace secure; it rests gently on the neck, held only by a finger.

Pearl necklace with a mechanism-free silver clasp.
