Wide tiles of black mother-of-pearl set side by side, each one flashing its own storm of color — smoke grey shifting to blue, pink, and green where the light crosses the nacre. No two tiles carry the same play of color. The dark shell holds every one of those flashes under a deep, glassy surface.
It stretches on to sit wide at the wrist, a single bold band that does all the work against bare skin or a plain sleeve. One size, stretch fit — it slips over the hand and settles where it lands. Keep it dry and off chemicals; the nacre prefers it.

every piece begins as something she wanted to wear
I wanted a different chain length, and Shezal was quick to accommodate. She was communicative, and the turnaround from making the necklace to shipping was fast. I love it. It's exactly what I pictured, with a bit of heft, too, so you can tell it's great quality.
