An abalone shell teardrop hangs beneath a gray freshwater pearl, pairing two very different surfaces. Blue, green, violet and pink run across the shell, while the pearl has a soft silvery sheen that keeps the top of the pendant quieter.

Tidepool brings together the shifting colors of abalone and the soft sheen of gray pearl. Blue, green and touches of pink move across the shell like reflections in shallow water, with the pearl adding a quieter note above. Together, they suggest a tiny world revealed when the water settles. Each glimpse of color suggests something new beneath the surface, while the pearl echoes the misty light above it.

Materials & Care

Materials & Care

Freshwater pearls form inside mollusks and get their luster from layers of nacre. Their glow comes from light interacting with those layers rather than from cut facets. The round gray pearl creates a quietly reflective upper section, balancing the larger shell drop with a smooth, curved shape.

I make this piece in your choice of sterling silver or 14k gold-filled metal. Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver. Gold-filled metal has a substantial layer of 14k gold mechanically bonded to a base-metal core, making it different from gold plating.

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% silver; the other metals help give it strength.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear. Keep perfume, household cleaners, and abrasive polishes away from the stones. Remove before swimming or showering, avoid soaking and ultrasonic or steam cleaning, and store separately from harder jewelry. Use a silver polishing cloth only on accessible metal, keeping it away from pearls and stones.

Each natural stone is unique, with subtle variations in color, pattern, and shape that make every piece one of a kind.
