A Mermaid’s Treasure

Pearls and moonstones are prettily intertwined together with black thread in this amazing necklace woven for a mermaid. She wears it on the rare occasions when she puts on her legs and a cute frock to go dancing.

I bought this years ago from a jewellery boutique in Melbourne called Larama. I dithered for weeks over its price, but, with my sister’s encouragement, I snapped it up finally for fear someone might beat me to it.

Once I paired it with some giant chandelier earrings also made of pearl. After eyeing me judiciously for a few moments Mum informed me that it was over-the-top. Thanks Mum. Mermaids like to go all out when they get their legs on.
