Large Mother of Pearl Shell Pendant Necklace | 65mm Smoky Iridescent Disc | Silver Plated Oval Link Chain | Magnetic Clasp | 19 Inch Statement Necklace 🐚✨

A generous 65mm disc of mother of pearl, smoky grey and bronze with flashes of pink and green, hanging from a delicate chain of hammered silver links — a statement piece with a soft, luminous glow. 🌊

This 19 inch necklace is all about its pendant: a large 65mm round disc of mother of pearl, polished to a lustrous shine. Its surface flows in soft bands of smoky grey, taupe and bronze, with a silvery-white glow at the top and shimmers of pink, green and gold that move as it catches the light. It hangs from a silver plated chain of elegant open oval and round links with a lightly hammered, light-catching finish, giving the whole piece an airy, modern feel that lets the shell take centre stage. The pendant has a 95mm drop, so it sits boldly at the centre of the chest. The necklace fastens with a substantial 23mm magnetic clasp, sparkle cut with a dotted, beaded texture, which is easy to close with one hand and secure to wear. Please note the length is fixed at 19 inches and is not adjustable. 💫

What is Mother of Pearl? 🌙
Mother of pearl, also known as nacre, is the shimmering inner layer of certain shells, the same material that lines a pearl oyster and forms natural pearls. It is built up by the mollusc in thousands of ultra-thin layers of crystalline platelets, and it is the way these layers bend and scatter light that creates its soft, rainbow-like iridescence, with a depth of colour that changes as it moves. People have treasured it for thousands of years. It was cut into inlay and ornaments in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, carved into jewellery and decorative panels across China, and used by Pacific Island communities for ornaments and ceremonial pieces. In Victorian Britain it was prized for buttons, brooches and fine decorative work. Each shell carries its own pattern of growth bands, so no two pendants are ever exactly alike. 🔮

A bold, easy-to-wear statement necklace that works beautifully over a simple top, a knit or an evening dress, and makes a stunning gift for anyone who loves natural, ocean-inspired jewellery. 🎁

Caring for your necklace: 💎

• Avoid contact with perfume, lotion and water, as these can dull the shell's lustre
• Take it off before swimming, bathing or exercising
• Store flat or hanging, away from other jewellery that could scratch the shell
• Mother of pearl is delicate, so avoid knocks and drops
• Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear

As this is a natural shell pendant, the colour, banding and shimmer vary from piece to piece, making each necklace unique. 🌸
