Peach Blossom Pendant Necklace

The piece

A peach blossom cut from white shell, hung from a strand of small freshwater pearls. In old poems the blossom stands for beginnings, which makes this shell pendant necklace a natural fit for first days of any kind, new jobs, new cities, new loves worth marking. The shell shifts color slightly depending on the light it catches, keeping the piece from ever looking quite static. Wear it with pale spring colors to let the blossom stand out, or with a plain neckline where the pearls do quiet supporting work. It sits gently at the collarbone rather than announcing itself. Spring, worn at the collarbone, a fitting gift for anyone starting something new.
