This exceptional one-of-a-kind necklace centres on deeply patinated 19th century shell items from Papua New Guinean. A striking creation re-purposing original tribal elements, since fallen into disuse, however once pride of place in indigenous ceremonial adornment. Suspended from an exquisite strand of lustrous Japanese Akoya Kehsi pearls artfully punctuated with fine angel skin coral beads. A deeply meaningful and very wearable neckpiece that bridges ancient tribal heritage with fine artisan design.
