Big Black Beauty Focal. 21”
A big glass, Black Beauty is the center of gravity for irregular pieces of pale grey, blue-black pearls and dark iridescent, mother-of-pearl chips. The slender silver-toned leaves and peek-a-boo rings prevent this piece from being predictable.
Blue Hawaii and Pearl Coins. 22”
Blue Hawaii glass puff beads with mother-of-pearl coins are so brilliantly blue, they almost require a snorkel to see them. The ocean surrounding the Hawaiian Islands has these same blues, shimmering in the clear-as-glass water
