A Mermaid’s Tears
Lustrous opacity. The depths of mystery. Born out the cool deep of the South Pacific Sea, an unlikely strand has emerged. One luminescent glowing orb after another, each one a distinct line in a story, a single step towards the completion of a singular strand, curated over a lifetime. There once was a pearl collector in French Polynesia who worked for the legendary Salvador Assael, the unrivaled titan of the pearl industry. This unknown collector would comb through the pearl harvest, choosing for himself the largest and rarest of the lot. For years, he did this, patiently curating a strand beyond match and measure. Its few equals has dispersed to the far reaches of the globe. This one could be around her neck. The clasp is encrusted with diamonds. Look closely into the copious layers of nacre and you will see something surprising. You will see your own crisp reflection. Can you see it? Lean closer.
