/pearly whites double choker necklace/
The [milk tide] double-rowed choker plays with illusion and contrast: what appears uniform at first glance slowly reveals subtle shifts in texture.
Irregular faux freshwater pearls set the rhythm of the piece, interrupted by organically shaped accents: polished mollusc shell spindle beads, clear quartz chips, and small natural shells dispersed throughout.
At the centre, a flower-shaped shell shard pendant anchors the necklace. A shiny metal star charm, topped with a small iridescent glass bead, adds a quiet focal point to the [milk tide].
A study in pale light, layered textures, and slow movement. Tidal, and textural.
Vintage ornate metal spacer beads punctuate the composition, grounding the softness with subtle weight and history.
Each element is placed by hand, allowing the necklace to flow naturally rather than follow perfect symmetry.
Every piece is one of a kind. Variations in shape, tone, and spacing are part of the design.
