Are you wearing some of the new scoop neck and V-neck shirts that seem so popular this summer? If so, then this is the perfect necklace because it deserves lots of neck room to show off: Keshi Pearl and Shell Pendant Necklace.

I picked up this honker of a shell pendant at a jewelry show years ago and have been saving it for the perfect pairing. When I saw these gorgeous cream-colored Keshi pearls at Artbeads.com (part of their limited edition pearl collection), I knew I had found the perfect match. In fact, Artbeads.com even has a number of similar shell pendants that would work perfectly with this necklace design as well as Swarovski crystal beads, which I used as accents throughout the necklace strap.
