Hollow Mother of Pearl Necklace
Designer Sharla Samuelson was inspired by the unique shape of the shell to create her Hollow Mother of Pearl Necklace. "The shell is delicate yet funky, and I wanted a necklace that would have the same feel."
Sharla recommends pairing the unique necklace with simple silhouettes: a wrap dress, a low v-neck top, or even a white button-down shirt and jeans.
Fun fact about Sharla? She has a serious love for pistachio pudding.

Woven Black Onyx and Swarovski Crystal Necklace
When designer Terri Barshay makes something, she lets the process take her where it wants to go. We’re glad she did, and we’re loving her Black Onyx and Swarovski Crystal necklace, which feels chunkier and bolder than her usual designs.
Terri alludes to the versatility of this necklace in her garment pairing recommendations: a crisp tailored white shirt, a dressy tank, a suit, or even a fitted tee.
Little known fact about Terri? She’s a magnet for the pit bulls in her neighborhood who try to follow her home. "The last one sat in front of our house for two hours and finally dug under the fence and showed up on our back porch, staring through the sliding glass doors with an ingratiating look and a wagging tail." Guess the pit bulls love Terri as much as we do.

Patricia on her design work: "I am interesting in sharing my good fortune with others, especially with people who are physically challenged, and unwed teenage mothers.

Concentric Necklace
Metalsmith and jewelry designer Brooke Medlin loves a challenge. She created each of the components for this necklace without having an idea for the final piece. "It’s easy to have an idea in your head and just follow the steps. Instead, I made some hoops, oxidized some lengths of chain, and THEN came up with several necklaces in this vein."
She recommends pairing this necklace with anything black–from a blousy tank to your boyfriend’s faded button down (dressed up with dark jeans and high boots, of course).
Little known fact about Brooke? She only recently bought a television, after 8 years without.
