An exceptional and rare 1950s abalone and mother-of-pearl statement necklace, reflecting the sleek geometry and natural opulence of mid-century design. Each rectangular link alternates between iridescent abalone shell panels and creamy mother-of-pearl inlays, joined by small spacer beads and finished with a vintage patterned clasp. The contrast of swirling ocean hues and luminous ivory tones creates a sophisticated, gallery-worthy aesthetic.
