Warm layers of spiny oyster shell move across this necklace in rich tones of rust, blush, and cream, anchored by the steady presence of traditional Navajo pearls. The composition feels balanced and tactile—earth-driven, expressive, and meant to sit comfortably against the body with a natural sense of weight.
Materials & Craft
Hand-strung by Kathy Edwards, this one-of-a-kind necklace features natural spiny oyster shell beads paired with sterling silver Navajo pearls. The spiny oyster displays organic variation in color, surface texture, and thickness, creating a rhythm that feels intentional yet unforced. Finished with a sterling silver clasp, the construction is durable and designed to let the materials speak for themselves.
Individuality Note
This necklace is one of a kind. Natural variation in the spiny oyster shell—along with the spacing and sequencing of the beads—ensures that no two pieces could ever be alike. The balance and composition are unique to this strand.
