Beautiful 16" triple strand freshwater pearl necklace on synthetic cord with sterling silver clasp sponsored by Goldworks in University Mall. 

Specializing in original jewelry designs, in gold, platinum, silver and mokume-gane, (an ancient Japanese metal-layering technique, meaning “wood grain metal”), the jewelry embodies the traditional art of fine jewelry making. The jewelry made at Goldworks, Chapel Hill, NC studio, is individually designed and hand fabricated, resulting in variation of design, and the growth of creative ideas. Each of the designers brings their own style and jewelry techniques, from traditional to artistic, from antique to contemporary styles. All have an eye for design, craftsmanship and detail, and the integrity of the materials used; their designs are both creative and timeless, creating personal heirlooms that express the uniqueness of the individual, as well as the special joy of owning something truly original. All the precious metals used in the jewelry is recycled, and the diamonds are conflict free.
