BTS of Handcrafting A Fine Silver Shell Necklace with an Authentic Pearl

Todos Santos, Baja California Mexico

During March Break this year, my family and I visited Baja California, Mexico, where we discovered an old, quaint Pacific Coast town for the first time called Todos Santos. Known for its artistic charm, it is filled with galleries and unique  handmade jewellery stores.  

While in our tour group, we stopped in at a local jewellery shop call The Velvet Box Todos Santos. Here we had the opportunity to learn about the formation of pearls . To our delight, the session ended with a GIVEAWAY coincidentally on National Jewel Day. Much to our excitement, my son drew the lucky number and won a  12mm authentic pearl - which he gifted to me . 

Intrigued by how pearls are formed, I wanted to share this process with you. Keep reading to learn what unique piece of jewellery I crafted.
