This Bullet jewelry Pendant Necklace is handmade by Andrea Li: a one-of-a-kind vintage piece built across multi-layered chains with a bullet casing and rock crystal pendant at the center.
The necklace layers vintage components and multi-layered chains throughout, accented with geode slices, freshwater pearl accents, and gemstone detailing including white topaz, pyrite, labradorite, mystic topaz, moonstone, and keshi pearls. The bullet casing and rock crystal pendant anchor the front, and the sterling silver wire and clasp carry a moonstone embellishment. Necklace length is 22 inches; pendant length is 2 1/4 inches. Nothing about this piece was manufactured -- it was sourced, composed, and assembled by hand in Andrea's Denver studio.
The freshwater pearls and keshi pearls in this piece are among the softest materials here, sitting around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale. I always tell people: put jewelry with pearls on last, after lotion and perfume, and store pearls away from harder stones. The sterling silver wire and clasp will develop a natural patina over time -- a quick wipe with a silver polishing cloth brings it back if you prefer bright silver.
One of a kind. When it sells, it's gone. Explore more in the Vintage Collection, and read Andrea's moonstone guide for care and context on the moonstone throughout this piece.

This one-of-a-kind rhinestone statement necklace is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a bold, layered composition built from a curated selection of various vintage rhinestone components and accented with freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals, finished with sterling silver wire and a sterling silver clasp.
The rhinestones are vintage finds, each with a history of its own, reworked into a modern design that still carries that particular kind of old-Hollywood weight. The freshwater pearl accents break the sparkle with lustre, and the Swarovski crystals push the light in a different direction entirely. No two of these read the same, which is by design. This is a piece built from things that already existed and made into something that never existed before.
Freshwater pearls are softer than the rhinestones around them, so a note on care: remove before swimming or showering, wipe the pearls gently after wearing, and store the necklace flat rather than hanging. The sterling silver wire and clasp will develop a natural patina over time; a soft polishing cloth brings it back.
One of a kind. From the Vintage Collection. When it sells, it is gone. The freshwater pearl guide explains why pearl and crystal work so well together if you want the full story.

This one-of-a-kind Marie Curie Aquamarine Vintage Necklace is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a layered composition built from vintage components circa 1950s, anchored by a gemstone cluster of moss aquamarine, grey moonstone, labradorite, pyrite, cats eye seminole, and freshwater pearls, with Swarovski crystal accents throughout.
The necklace runs on a sterling silver link chain threaded with snakeskin patterned leather and fastened by a fancy sterling silver triple strand clasp with white topaz details. Pendant length is 4 inches from the top of the necklace; total necklace length is 18 inches. Every element was chosen to work together: the organic texture of the leather against the precision of the silver links, the earth tones of the moss aquamarine against the flash of labradorite. From the vintage collection: built once, never replicated, never manufactured.
Every stone in the cluster is cold-connected, assembled with wire and never with heat. That is the only way to build a layered cluster around stones like moss aquamarine and moonstone without putting them at risk. Briolettes and drilled beads are set through their narrowest point, where a stone is most brittle, so I work each wire link by hand, fitting it to the drilled hole so the connection is secure and the stone sits without pressure. The result is a cluster that holds its shape, moves naturally, and lets each stone catch light from its own angle.

Freshwater pearl embellishments and Swarovski crystal details bring light and texture across the front. 24k gold vermeil accent beads and clasp anchor the composition with warm, rich color. The structure is wired with 14k gold-filled wire throughout.

The vintage components in this necklace have their own history before they arrived in Andrea's hands. She works with these pieces by reworking and integrating them with unexpected elements, so the result reads as something genuinely new rather than a reproduction. The freshwater pearls are cold-set alongside the vintage elements using 14k gold-filled wire, never with heat, which keeps the integrity of the materials intact across the whole composition.

This one-of-a-kind Multi Strand Pearl and Gold Necklace is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a layered composition built from various vintage components with freshwater pearl strands woven throughout, fancy twist cut quartz briolettes, Swarovski crystal accents, and 14K gold-filled wire and beaded details throughout.
The piece moves the way a multi-strand piece should, with each layer carrying its own weight and rhythm. The freshwater pearl strands give the necklace its warmth; the fancy twist cut quartz briolettes catch light at unexpected angles; the Swarovski crystal accents sharpen the whole composition. The 14K gold-filled wire and beaded details tie the elements together without overwhelming them, letting the stones do the work. From the vintage collection: built once, never replicated, never manufactured.
Freshwater pearls are among the most forgiving gemstones to wear, but they do benefit from a little care. I wipe pearl pieces down with a soft, dry cloth after each wear and store them on their own, away from harder stones that can scratch the nacre. Everything else in this necklace is assembled cold, with wire, which keeps all the connections secure and lets the whole piece flex naturally rather than pulling against itself.

This Multi Strand Pearl Collar Necklace is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: a layered, reversible collar built from a curated selection of various vintage jewelry components and vintage rhinestone flourishes, anchored by a 3-D printed 24k gold plated starburst center pendant on the back detail.
The front presents cascading pearl strands with the particular weight and warmth only vintage finds carry. The cascading back detail gives the necklace a second life worn reversed, with the starburst pendant as the focal point, so the piece reads entirely differently depending on which side you choose to show. Necklace length is 21 inches; the back flourish is 7 inches. This is a modern collar for someone who wants to wear something that has already lived.
Pearls are among the softer materials in any jewelry collection, around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and vintage pearls ask for a little more care than a stone would. Wipe them gently after wearing, remove the necklace before swimming or showering, and store it flat rather than hanging so the strands hold their shape. The rhinestone flourishes have their own antique patina; a soft cloth is all they need.
One of a kind. From the vintage collection. When it sells, it is gone. Explore more in the vintage collection or read the freshwater pearl guide for everything you need to know about wearing and caring for pearl jewelry.
