Pearlesque Necklace
Availability: In stock
Item #: 109278
I love pearls and am proud of the fact that all our pearls are real, so this piece is an exception. To give them the pearlescent appearance of actual pearls, these beads are dipped in naturally occurring mother-of-pearl. If you had real pearls this big they would cost you a fortune. In this strand, the beads themselves are beautiful and perfectly spotless–much like a genuine pearl.
From the land of Thailand, they were given to me by a woman I once struck up a conversation with. Surprised that I’d stop to chat and learn about her life, she gifted me this necklace. As an American, I usually try to turn away gifts. However, I grew up in Asia so I remind myself that here, gifts are normal and refusing them is an insult to the giver. So I bite my tongue and say, “Thank you.” Whenever I’ve worn this necklace, it has reminded me to stop and sit with friends whether new or well established. In our culture we are in such a hurry that this doesn’t come naturally. Some time ago, I took a half day to spend with a couple of friends nearing the end of life. As I looked into their faces, I sat with them, played music for them, prayed over them, and came away encouraged by their peaceful presence.
This necklace displays its beauty in shades of pearlescent white, black, and a deep indigo blue. It is elegant yet versatile enough to be worn with a suit or a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. It is my hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
Where this product came from

World Wide
Stories capture what goes unseen. They open closed doors, reveal hidden evils, and celebrate recovery. Stories reach across the globe, finding their way into our hands and hearts. Voices once silenced by abuse, addiction, and abandonment become loud cries for justice through the power of the written word. Heart-wrenching accounts of slavery and exploitation awaken communities to dark realities and call them to action. All this begins with you. When you make a purchase in support of rescued and at-risk individuals, you do not just gain a book or a bracelet—you help to rewrite the stories of rescued and at-risk women, transforming knowledge into rescue and words into a way of life.
