Double Periwinkle Pearl Necklace - Katheryn Leopoldseder

A sterling silver necklace featuring nested periwinkle shell forms with a grey freshwater pearl.

Handmade by Katheryn Leopoldseder in Melbourne, whose work explores personal adornment through sculptural forms and meticulous craftsmanship.

Crafted in matte-finished and oxidised sterling silver, the pendant is inspired by the distinctive spiral form of the common periwinkle shell, recalling childhood days spent collecting shells along the shoreline. A grey freshwater pearl nestles within the matte silver form, which is in turn cradled by a larger oxidised silver periwinkle, creating a balanced composition of contrasting finishes and soft natural lustre.

Suspended from a sterling silver snake chain, it sits comfortably at the neckline as a sculptural everyday pendant.
