There is some irony in naming a freshwater pearl necklace "oyster" because oysters
have no part in the production of freshwater pearls! (They come from mussels.) However, I like the
oyster as a reminder that exteriors are not indicative of what can be created on the inside.
These rice pearls, like most cultured freshwater pearls, come from China where they are farmed
along the coast. The four pearls in the center are dyed to resemble the color of "peacock"
pearls, a gem trade name given to the color of black pearls from the South Pacific. The silk thread is
hand-knotted in the traditional style between the pearls to provide outstanding fluidity and drape in the
necklace. The necklace can be doubled as a wrap bracelet, though the fluidity means it can easily slide
off the hand as well.
