Japanese Keshi Pearls
Keshi pearls are a rare form of freshwater pearl. These pearls are only harvested
every three years and are difficult to find in a high quality shape and luster. Anna
uses these pearls in her designs because of their beautiful and uniquely organic
shape.
Semiprecious Stones
All semiprecious stones used in Anna's designs are of natural origin (no dyed or
heat treated stones), and are chosen for consistency in color and quality of cut.
Oxidized Sterling Silver
Much of Anna's work feaures oxidized sterling silver. You will find this silver becomes
more lustrous over time, and with wear it may begin to brighten on exposed surfaces
and remain dark in recessions. Oxidized silver cannot be cleaned with chemicals;
if necessary, use an old toothbrush, dish soap and warm water.
Sizing
Every item description states the length of the item. You may special order necklaces
and bracelets in different lengths than stated. Note that original lengths are designed
for average to petite women.
Necklaces are available from 14" to 25". Bracelets are available in 1/2" increments
from 5" to 10"; it's important to have a good fit so the bracelet will not fall off.
Chain will be added or taken away to alter the length; no stones will be added or
removed.
