Oyster and Pearl Small Necklace

The most beautiful things in life, often are the most closely guarded of secrets. The exquisite Oyster is no different, with lips clutched tight to safeguard its beloved pearl; and yet, concealed within this impenetrable darkness, the pearl cannot reflect its beautiful colors, so, upon finding comfort in its safety, the Oyster will loosen its grasp to allow its pearl to sparkle and shine.

This ocean-inspired necklace of a single pearl cast in its gold shell is a celebration of nature’s beauty and the extent to which we protect what is most valuable to us. Be picky with what you let into your heart… and with what you wear beside it.

The Story

A Fishers Island Oyster was the model (Janet's favorite oysters in New York, really her fave on the Eastern seaboard). The oyster shells of this necklace are so authentic it's as if the Atlantic Ocean carved them specially for you. It shimmers around your neck.

This small oyster pearl necklace can upgrade a T-shirt with a bold color; we like the gold against emerald green or garnet. It pops, particularly the pearl.

Also, be nautical and pair it with a striped V-neck dress or shirt.
How to Wear

Oysters aren't strictly meant for wearing around your neck but for eating. Oh, you knew that, did you? You can find them at these restaurants here.

Legend has it that Casanova gulped 50 oysters for breakfast daily. Scientists have now proven that the old wives’ tale is true. Two proteins in the mollusk do increase libido.
