These necklaces are made with 48 inch leather strands and rare large hole fresh water pearls. The pearls come in silver, white and peacock and the leather comes in every color, but I particularly like it in tan or black. These necklaces are worn like a scarf, they can be wrapped any way that you wish and can even be worn as a bracelet. You can wear them together; I usually wear two to three at a time.
These necklaces were inspired by a trip I took to California a few months ago. I was fortunate enough to get to go to lunch at the famous Ivy Cafe (a hot spot in Beverly Hills for celebrities). I didn't have an celeb sightings while I was there but I did notice the woman sitting next to me and her fabulous necklace. I was with my daughter, who often gets embarrassed when I ask strangers about their jewelry, but I told her she'd have to deal with it this time because I had to know about that necklace. The woman was wearing a necklace made of leather and pearls, just like the ones in my boutique. Her pearls were true Tahitian pearls, very rare, expensive and beautiful pearl, and it retailed for about $1600 for 15 pearls. When I returned from my California trip I knew I had to make something similar for myself and my customers. I found some rare fresh water pearls that were very beautiful and suitable for these necklaces and began creating. Since I brought them to the boutique these have been some of my best selling necklaces because the leather look is so in right now. They retail from $78-$88 depending on the pearl used.
