Silver Chain with Pearls

A 1911 opera house chandelier's crystal droplet and a 1950s camera's shutter release button.

This miniature is crafted from a 1970s silver-plated cocktail stirrer, its slender handle repurposed as the delicate chain that suspends a pair of mismatched beads. The chain's original worn patina has been preserved, while the beads – a luminous pearl and a deep red glass orb – have been carefully rethreaded to create a subtle, understated pendant. Now, the piece whispers a quiet sophistication, its humble origins transformed into a refined, intricate adornment.

Silver necklace featuring a pink bead, accented with a white pearl.
