Pearls: Clutch Me

Antique pearls with a deep patina that entirely fits with a most unusual and slightly sinister setting. Does anybody else see claws?

The natural world scares the heck out of me. Rightly so. I have huge respect for the wilder things and the deep beauty that comes with visible signs of age. These were part of somebody's life. I wish I knew more. 

Gorgeous sheen on the pearls. Unsurprisingly, these have a few small signs of wear.

The pearls are also slightly different shades. Barely noticeable. Unless you've spent hours hunched over them. Polish in hand. Wondering if they were separated? Deciding what to do.
