REFLECTION: The first BLACK PEARLS strand was made for myl husband.
It just became mine first.
He had asked me to create a black pearl necklace for him. The request sounded straightforward. Finding the pearls was anything but. Black pearls are difficult to source, and it took me a few months to get them.
When I finally did, I knew the piece would be special.
I made his necklace.
Then I tried it on.
One outfit became another, and then another. I kept reaching for it, drawn to the way it changed every look and the way I felt wearing it. By the time I handed it over, I had already fallen for the piece I had made for him.
Then he put it on, and it changed again.
On me, it felt sensual, grounded and powerful. On him, the same strand carried a quiet confidence that was entirely his.
That was when I understood BLACK PEARL STRAND.
The necklace did not define either of us. It reflected the person wearing it.
We stopped calling the original strand his. We share it now.
Apparently, we were not the only ones who felt something for this piece.
The first preorder sold out before BLACK PEARL STRAND even reached the product page. I sourced more, and the second release sold out in two weeks.
Then I could not source the pearls again, and BLACK PEARL STRAND disappeared.
Until now.
I finally was able to source enough to make approximately 20 more strands.
This is the kind of piece that lives with you for decades. Worn, borrowed, remembered and, one day, passed on.
For him or for her - BLACK PEARL STRAND is back. The last two releases did not stay long.
