14.5mm South Sea Pearl sits atop my abalone 30" waterfall necklace. This piece is versatile in that it can be worn long or short and has two abalone tails to play with. Wear them running down your back, in front or both!
I have a limited collection of pacific red abalone that I aquired in Mendocino county in northern california. I climbed down 50ft cliffs to tiny beaches below the headlands and unreachable unless at the lowest annual tides. It is dangerous and extremely rewarding if done carefully. The shells make a sound reminiscent to that of the rocky coastline where they are collected as the waves roll onto shore and disclose their location.
