At first glance, this necklace might appear simple but take another look. The ease and elegance that emanate from Peretti’s designs often disguise the complexity of their craftsmanship. This is an extraordinary example of lapidary arts. The circular beads, which have been hollowed out, were hand carved. Peretti was extraordinarily loyal and excelled in partnership with the people who made her jewelry. She worked with many skilled artists around the globe, and then their descendants, for decades.
