Blue abalone shell and gold, perfect!

I wore this necklace at the weekend to a friends wedding,  in the early days of my career I found it really difficult to part with my favorite pieces, so now I always make one for myself !  One of the perks of  being a designer/maker. I had a lot of comments about it and the rings I was wearing. I love the mix of blue and gold it just looks so right together and blue abalone shell just seems to gleam.  If you love the necklace and wanna buy it, check out my website.
