The World is my Oyster

Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.2, 3-4, Pistol to Falstaff.

An original and innovative pearl necklace design, The World is my Oyster features a 16+mm cultured Tahitian pearl. Hand carved with the continents of the World, the necklace surpasses the classic concept of a strand of pearls, to a visionary and meaningful jewel, that can appeal to everyone from a fashionista, to a travel addict, to a bride embarking on a new life.

The World is your Oyster!

16mm+ silver/grey cultured Tahitian pearl, 18K white gold, 23K yellow gold leaf: hand drawn template, hand carved, hand gilded. Self-standing miniature sculpture, rotates on its axis like the earth.
