Refrain
A single pear-cut morganite floating on 7.5 inches of vintage pink pearls, hand-strung on 100% white silk and closed with a 14k yellow gold oval trigger clasp — the companion piece to Rondeau. The same pearls, the same stone at the same size, arranged around the wrist instead of the neck. Cut long on purpose: 7.5 inches sits comfortably on wrists that would ordinarily wear 6, held in place by the size and weight of the pearls themselves.
