Pearl & Brass "Biker Necklace" by Augusten Burroughs

About the Item

THis beautiful and rambunctious one-of-a-kind necklace was handmade by artist Augusten Burroughs. The 26" necklace features 42 high-quality cultured Chinese freshwater pearls strung on sturdy silk. The silk cord has been hand-knotted between each pearl but you can't see these knots because there's also a brass bolt separating each pearl. The pearls are off-white, apricot, lavender, and silver -all naturally colored, not dyed. The pearl strand is intertwined with a heavy oval-link brass chain. Suspended from the chain is a highly-detailed cast brass scull and, on the other side, a handy bottle opener. Because you never know where you'll be when you need to open a bottle. The necklaces closes with the heaviest and most overkill clasp imaginable. Pull the spring-controlled ring to open the "ring" portion and slide the oblong end into place and you're good to go. You can unhook the necklace without operating the spring-clasp, but in order to close the necklace you do need to use the spring pully thing. Yeah, I know, crazy. But so awesome.

    Located in Southbury, CT
    This classic 19" pearl necklace is composed of 50 cultured freshwater pearls from China that range in size from 8.5mm to 10mm, with most being 9mm or larger. The pearls have been hand-strung on thick, sturdy white silk and knotted between each pearl. Instead of being strung from smallest to largest, the pearls were selected at random. This has the effect of creating a necklace that appears uniform in size overall. It is finished with a rhodium-plated silver clasp. The pearls are round to near-round and have thick, luxurious nacre. Chinese freshwater pearls now rival Japanese cultured Akoya pearls...

  • Long Pearl and Gemstone Necklace
    Located in Southbury, CT
    Naturally-colored South Sea Keshi, baroque Tahitian, luminous Akoya, and Chinese freshwater pearls are strung together with glassy aquamarine and tourmaline crystals to create a luxuriously long -36"- and effortlessly beautiful necklace that you will never tire of wearing. The simple gilded silver hook-and-eye clasp can be worn around the back or off to the side. You can wear this stunning, one-of-a-kind necklace full-length, doubled, or even wrapped several times around your wrist as a bracelet. Layer it with your favorite South Sea or Akoya pearl necklace for an instant update to your jewelry wardrobe. The pearls are all high-quality and were carefully chosen for their beauty and character. Rich eggplant tones combine with pewter, pink, green, silver, and gold to create a statement necklace that doesn't overpower. I love this piece. It's so well-made and Keshi pearls, as you probably already know, are an accident of the pearl culturing process that results in a free-spirited, 100% nacre pearl. In composition, Kwshi pearls are identical to natural, uncultured pearls...
