Inspired by my ocean travels as well as some beautiful antique Kiowa jewelry I inherited from my Momma. This necklace has an extra thick old dentalium shell that came from a private collection in Italy. I set it with an 18K yellow gold and diamond bezel. A fine Baroque 15x12mm South Sea pearl and a smooth cowrie shell with 18KY yellow gold accent the necklace. The 36" large sterling silver chain hangs gracefully with the dentalium off center.
