I've designed this necklace a few times with varying bead and color combinations (see post below). The large mother-of-pearl sits off-center with two strands of gold and green freshwater pearls on one side, and grey mother-of-pearl and Swarovski crystal on the other side. On gold-filled wire with gold clasp.
