Baroque freshwater pearls in white with high luster, hand-strung on silk from a vintage strand Catherine sourced and restrung. Each pearl is irregular — organic shapes, none of them matched — reading as pearl-first, jewelry-second. Sold without a clasp, finished with 14k gold rings at both ends, so it closes on a charm lock — one from the Essentials collection, or one you already own.
