Clytemnestra’s Tears – Trophies of Power
A very long, blackened silver necklace with small seed-pearl pendants.
This striking black silver necklace is not only beautiful but also has a powerful story to tell. (Click here to read).
The bold, individually handmade chain links and the striking overall length of the necklace contrast beautifully with the delicate, white seed-pearl pendants, which are dotted around the length of the necklace.
The two tear-shaped black silver shapes provide furthermore a striking background to the intricate golden Keum-Boo patterns.

Wearing It
The necklace can be worn at full length to show off its full beauty or can be draped around the neck several times to adjust its length and suit personal preference. Although the piece speaks of pain, it is not a sorrowful piece. It is bold, but it is also understated, yet elegant and sophisticated. I want this piece to instil in the wearer a sense of quiet confidence and strength, so they may wear it with poise and dignity on a special occasion, an evening out or at a family event.
