MARLA AARON Itty Bitty Strand 14-karat gold pearl necklace

Marla Aaron's signature pendants are inspired by traditional hardware store carabiners - the designer has always been interested in functionality, referring to each piece in her collections as "jewel tools." Handmade in NYC, this 'Itty Bitty Strand' necklace is strung with pretty Akoya pearls and a 14-karat gold 'Starlock' based on how a child might draw a star.
