Seahorse Pearl and Ocean Blue Beaded Necklace

Creamy glass pearl beads float along a strand of bright ocean blue seed beads, like foam on a clear wave. At the center, an antiqued brass seahorse with finely etched fins and a curled tail hangs from the pearls. The blue is vivid and cheerful, the pearls keep it soft and classic, and the whole piece stays light and easy to wear every day. It’s a sweet gift for anyone who loves the sea, seahorses, or simple beachy style. A silver-tone heart toggle clasp finishes the back and looks charming worn in front.

Care tips:

• Put it on after perfume, lotion, and hairspray, and take it off before swimming, showering, or sleeping.

• Wipe the pearls, beads, and metal with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, and skip chemical cleaners and polishing dips.

• Keep it out of long stretches of direct sun and away from heat, which can dull pearl finishes.

• Brass can darken over time, which suits the antiqued look.

• Store it flat or hanging in a soft pouch so the charm doesn’t snag the strand.

• Avoid tugging on the strand, since beading cord can stretch over time.
