Tideline — Asymmetric keshi pearl long drop earrings begin with a creased, hand-textured stud, with its surface folded like stone worn smooth by water. From it falls a long line of keshi pearls, each one irregular in shape and luster, linked by hand with fine wire.

The two earrings are made as a pair but not as a copy. A single sculpted metal bead sits at a different point along each strand, so the lines read as related rather than identical, the way two tidelines on the same shore never quite match.

At 3.5 inches long, Tideline is meant for evenings, celebrations, and occasions that ask for a little more than the everyday.

Care Instructions. Put on after perfume, lotion, and hairspray. Wipe the pearls with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Keep away from water, and store each earring separately in a pouch so the strands do not tangle or scratch.

Styling Notes. Best with hair worn up or tucked back, so the full length of the line shows. Pair with a clean neckline (a slip dress, a black turtleneck, a bare-shouldered top) and let the earrings carry the look on their own. Suited to dinners, weddings as a guest, and evening events. Light enough to wear through a long evening.
