From Greig Porter’s storied collection of jewelry, a spotlight on two pieces in particular: his 5-Strand Keshi Pearl Necklace and his matching Seed Pearl Mini Chandelier Earrings. Seed pearls are very small, off-round varietals of this natural gemstone, favored for their delicacy and soft color.
Keshi pearls are a particular subset of this species from Japan with a high luster. While historically these stones have been used as embellishments in Baroque artwork, they make a divine bead for contemporary jewelry. By stringing together dozens of this gem, and punctuating their creaminess with 18K gold, Greig Porter creates unique, elegant jewelry with impact.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
