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.

One of a kind. When it sells, it's gone. Explore more in the vintage collection.
