I have a particular attraction to mother-of-pearl. The dream-like colours are hypnotic. Years ago I found a mother-of-pearl ring in my local Salvation Army thrift store. The shell was a large pure smooth oval but the setting was hideous. Think cheap nasty tres 1960’s lump of silver coloured metal but not silver. So last year I took the ring to TORY & KO for remodeling. We took inspiration from an original 1930’s marcasite ring of mine and a few weeks later my inbox had a sketch of the perfect deco design featuring borders of seed pearls.
Voila. It is uniquely me. The only one of its kind in the world and I adore it.
