Kate O's Pearl Necklace

For Mother's Day, Kate's husband commissioned this 56"~ish pearl necklace, hand strung and knotted on silk cord with a lobster clasp. To be worn long or wrapped multiple times, this necklace has staying power and matches with just about anything in the closet! It's one of my favorites. I love a design that can multi-task!

Jen's Bridesmaids Set

Swarovski crystals in Caribbean Blue and Sea Opal teardrops make a striking earring that can go from formal to jeans and t-shirt. The 3-strand bracelet with chain and sea opals in three different shapes make a statement in any context. So easy to wear and so stunning!
