Thetis Necklace and Earrings Set

Named for Thetis, the sea goddess of Greek mythology, this one-of-a-kind necklace and earring set brings together the luminous colors of sea, stone, and gold.

Broad fans of mother-of-pearl shimmer from ivory to silver and soft blush as they move through the light, their natural ridges and shifting nacre recalling shells shaped by the sea. Between them, micro-faceted amethyst coins add flashes of deep violet, each separated by gleaming 14kt gold-filled beads.

The necklace is finished entirely with 14kt gold-filled chain and hardware, while coordinating earrings echo its rhythm in miniature. Faceted amethyst, gold-filled beads, and generous mother-of-pearl fans are individually wrapped by hand in 14kt gold-filled wire and suspended from 14kt gold-filled huggie hoops.

Thetis was one of the Nereids of Greek mythology, remembered as a sea goddess, a shapeshifter, and the mother of Achilles. Her story moves between beauty and strength, tenderness and ferocity, the mortal world and the unknowable depths of the sea.

This piece is not a reproduction of ancient Greek jewelry, but an interpretation of that world: luminous shell, rich violet, and warm gold gathered into something meant to be worn now.

Because mother-of-pearl is created within a living mollusk, each piece carries its own ridges, markings, color and iridescence. No two are precisely alike.
