This is a badass necklace made up of a hand-linked sterling silver chain dotted with funky-lustrous pearls, and rooted in a removable vintage sterling-and-glass charm. The glass reminds me of the milky-way or the aurora-borealis (i’ve never seen it) and the pearls are like the STARS. With the charm, this is a strong statement piece. Without the charm, this is a strong statement chain that plays well with others.

length: 18 inches

materials: sterling silver, pearls, front-hinged clasp

A lot of my work incorporates vintage charms and beads from all around the world. At a time when immigrants rights are under brutal attack, it is important to support those who are doing the vital work of fighting for the rights of asylum seekers in the US. With that in mind, 15% of the profits from holiday sales will be donated to MiTlalli, an NYC-based organization doing just that. Mi Tlalli means "My Earth" in Nahuatl dialect.
