Imagine: the late 19th century, early 20th century

Imagine: pearl divers

Imagine: opening oysters

Imagine: some oysters have pearls, some don't

Imagine: some oysters have big pearls, some small

Imagine: some oysters have very small pearls

Imagine: collecting the approximately 13,000 pearls needed for this necklace

Imagine: drilling these 13,000 pearls

Imagine: stringing these 13,000 pearls

Imagine: just how many hands each pearl has passed through

Imagine: that these strands of pearls had a closure made somewhere in the early 20th century

Imagine: that somewhere in the Fifties, someone decided to remove the original closure and replace it with a contemporary Fifties closure

Imagine: the many times in its life span of approximately 100 years these pearls have been worn

Imagine: what they have seen

Imagine: where they have been

Imagine: they can be yours :-)
