The Eloise | 20" Vintage Purple/Pink Pearl & Garnet | St. Valentine Collection | One of Three
There is something about the magic of pearls. Pearlescence is singular in the world of gems; pearls don't have a refractive index, or clarity grading. As an organic matter they have only their luster and long-labored shape to recommend them as adornments, but nothing could be better, per the recommendation of millennia of collectors. Any royal treasury overflows with good pearls — and every girl needs a good double strand (or 5!) Enter, the Eloise. Eloise, Eloise, Eloise! Based on a Victorian pearl necklace I acquired in Paris many moons ago, I designed the Eloise to do it all for you. With nine beautiful, large-scale Japanese cultured pearls, and hundreds of smaller seed pearls connecting these orbs like an astrological constellation, the strand will fit every wardrobe, and effortlessly integrate into your jewelry box. With a double pearl screw-top clasp, you can adjust the strand to accommodate your favorite pendant, double wrap if you'd like, or connect to brooches and other beautiful chains in a myriad of component presentations. She is at home across the décolletage of an English noblewoman, as she is swung round the neck of a roguish rockstar, or strung into the braids of a nymph, eager to frolic. Eloise is a lifelong companion. A one-of-a-kind Eloise made for the St. Valentine Collection, this example features gorgeous garnets and small freshwater pearls alongside fabulous purple-pink 9.5mm pearls that were acquired with these designs in mind. It is one of only three remaining strands with this colorway — a rarity within an already limited edition.
