Carved Pearls

Stracci suggested I post this in the Pearl forum in case anyone hadn't seen them before. I posted it hangout, but it seems more appropriate here. Carved pearls....

Thanks for sharing! I'll love to have one of these in a strand as an accent.

I think the artistry is amazing

I absolutely love those! Weirdly enough they remind me of the macabre memento more jewelry that people wore in the victorian era ( I hope I described that correctly)

I wouldn't wear a pearl skull, but I'd definitely walk around with a handful of them. That' looks really cool.

I think one of these would look really great as a pendant on a fine gold chain.
I like unusual jewelry.

For some reason, this skull reminded me of Herodotus: "one of their (Amazon's) marriage customs is that no young woman may marry until she has killed a male enemy." I think that it would be a nice piece of jewelry for an Amazon woman.
